Publisher: EscapeArtistes - Postcards from the Edge

I’m Theodora. I’m nomadic. That means I, and my twelve-year-old son Zac, live anywhere, everywhere, and nowhere. We bounce from adventure to adventure, to mishap to mishap, and travel pretty much all the time. Workwise, I’m a freelance writer. Which is, mercifully, portable. Very portable. Which doesn’t stop me moaning about it. (I’m British. What can I say?!) I get asked three questions very often. The first is “What do you do for money?” (write, but here’s how some other people earn enough to travel). The second is “What do you do about school?“. And the third is “Where have you been?“. I’ve also put together a helpful set of longterm family travel FAQs, which should answer a few more questions — feel free to ask more if they’re missing. Way, way back in January 2010, after the year from hell, I sold my house in London, packed up a backpack and my then nine-year-old son, and set up a blog called Travels with a Nine Year Old. We were going to be gone for a year, you see. Because you can totally see the world in a year, right? Right? Err, right… And, yeah, Travels with a Nine Year Old is totally a futureproof name for a blog… Ahem. So now we’re EscapeArtistes, and I do hope that’s better, cos I’m fucked if I’m changing it over again.
