cycle touring as a family

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with the Pascale, Alex, Rosalie, Elliot and Henri - an intrepid Canadian family of five who are currently bicycle touring their way around the world.  They've named their trip 3 continents with 3 teenss and during this discussion they share great insights about what it is like to cycle around the world as a family of five.

What makes this family unique isn't so much their trip - but could you just imagine taking a year out of life with your whole family to go cycling through so many different countries?  But rather, it is doing this trip as a family which includes three teenagers.  The complexities of travelling when the children are very much young adults themselves means they have very different needs and perspectives then say younger children would.  It certainly adds an extra dynamic to a conventional bike tour that's for sure.

They set off from Portugal a few months ago and had made their way to Istanbul when we caught up.  Now they are all in SE Asia enjoying the next leg of their journey.  Eventually this trip will see them take on North America as well as they make their way back to their home.

What was evident during the discussion is just how much taking a trip like this together has helped the family to bond even more.  I was especially impressed with the maturity  each of three young adults of the group spoke with as well. Itt's pretty clear taking a trip like this together has brought them closer as a family unit and also imparted life skills which will stay with them forever.
