How do you teach your kids about life? Some people like to show their kids movies, others regularly give them advice and input. Parents are different in the way they care and grow their kids, but this pair from Austria has one really effective method to do that.
They sold everything they had and moved into a truck which is seemingly too small for a family of three. Their four-year-old follows them in their big, eventful adventure of travelling around the globe. And to many people this seems like a nonsensical thing to do: throw your stable life just to live in the wilderness, away from the comfort of a home and the warmth of their fireplace.
But what they said made total sense. They wanted to spend every precious second with their son as well as teach him of the beauty Earth has to offer. They don't want their son to have the same 30 years life they had. They want him to be someone who has seen the world.
It won't be easy, it won't be a life with gaming consoles or wealth that others dream of. But it will one that is rich with experience, knowledge and most importantly, love.

We started our trip through Europe discovering new places with a motorbike
What we also discovered was a great love we had for the outdoors
Our first skiing stops were magnificent Greece and Turkey
This surreal place that reminds of Avatar is still one of our favorites
This was a perfect spot for the night. Better yet, in the morning we were awoken by hot air balloons grazing the sky right above us
This is a photo capturing the moment we entered Stars Valley in the Middle East
Getting stuck in the middle of the desert (where temperatures reached up to +50 degree celsius) coupled with sandstorms were just a few challenges we had to face
A blissful ride through the Iranian desert
Even the little one has his work to do on a worldtrip
Never expect to be on vacation when you are overlanding the world. It is often more exhausting than a life back home. Challenges and troubles with our truck soon became a daily routine. Broken gear box, near engine damage, broken power steering, ripped radiator or broken subframe were just a few problems we had to fix
Continuing the silk road through Uzbekistan
Until at last, we reached our beloved mountains in Tajikistan
We stayed at his beautiful lake for a couple of days
Hindukush rising above more than 7000m on the border to Afghanistan
And this was our first big milestone of the trip
The second highest mountain pass in the world on the Pamir Highway with 4657m
You can almost see the lack of oxygen on our faces
Freedom – that´s what you get in Central Asia
Riding horses in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan
Surrounded by millions of Edelweiss
Ger, so called yurts, are all over Central Asia
On high mountain passes you still can find snow (even in summer)
Tien Shan Mountain Range
Bizarre landscapes and huge canyons welcomed us in the Stan countries
Beautiful Russia
Nothing better than campfires under the milky way
Camping spot from a different perspective
