Hi there, I’m Lauren! I’m 13 years old, and before 2015 I was like any other kid, I went to school, did homework, hung out with friends, and thought that I was going to stay in my hometown Louisville, Colorado until I went to college. But then everything changed. In November 2015, my family of six and I decided we would start full-time world traveling. We said goodbye to our friends, sold all of our stuff, packed up remaining stuff, and by January 18, 2016, we were on a plane heading to Mexico. It has been more than two years since then, and we have currently been to 21 countries, such as Bulgaria, Belgium, Croatia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, Morocco, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Bosnia, and Portugal! My life has definitely changed in a way I would have never imagined when I was going to school, but I think everyone needs a little change, it’s what makes us a better person in a zillion different ways. Meeting different people around the world is amazing, and I have never made better friends! The places I have visited have opened my mind, and I could never ask for a better family to do this with. ❤
During the day I usually read, write, do school work, listen to musicals, and hang out with my sisters. Everyday’s an adventure in this family! ❤
The Antle family! (Also referred to as “the duck family”. Yup, I know it’s strange, but a town in Thailand gave us that name because we are always following each other in a line, like ducks. That’s us for yah.) ❤
On to the names: Kathryn, left in the very back (14), Lauren (me, if you didn’t know) right in the very back (13), Rachael, sitting next to me (11), Izabel, taking the picture (17), and my parents. We are considering taking a new family picture, haha. ❤
