Mandy Farabegoli

Being a mother of three and having just finished travelling Australia for two years, my life changed. Things I used to value, I no longer do. What I do find important, is time. Time with your children and spending that time wisely as before you know it, they will be doing their own thing and leaving the 'nest'.Life does not need to be so complex and the simplicity of life on the road has changed me. I now run a website to encourage families to travel with their children around Australia and it keeps my involved in a lifestyle I miss. As my children approach their higher education, I felt that they would be better served at school, more for the team sports etc that we could not give them on the road, moving all the time, therefore we stopped full time travel.We do however get away whenever we can - even the children love it when we are away from all the technology for a while, it helps us to reconnect with each other.I wrote this book to also encourage families to spend time together, no matter their age, they can play this together and be together.
