Hopes, dreams and expectations... Joe (aged 14yrs)

This year our family is going on a year-long “adventure” hopping between countries. I don’t know how this will go, it could either be a great opportunity to explore other cultures or, going to places with diseases, crime and limited medical facilities could be a disaster. Again, I am not sure how this will go but I can already think of some obvious problems. The first would be keeping up with schoolwork, we are going to be home-schooled and sent work by teachers but many of the places won't have reception or internet access so sometimes we will not be able to receive it. That is the main thing really, it would be terrible if I had to repeat the grade. It will also be difficult being away from friends and family and the comforts of our own home. I also feel like we will travel too much and always be in a car or plane. However, I am extremely looking forward to the European leg of the journey and the new house that we will build when we get back. So, I hope I learn a lot, have a good time and that everything goes well on the journey.
