We are working on village 2
Village 2 will be a completely new format. We are creating a Traveling Village where we move around in campervans. Imagine being in great nature, kids running around, a big communal tent, and a barbecue that gets fired up every evening.
The first Traveling Village Caravan version will take place in Europe, begin in September 2025, and last around 40 days.
We are still early in the planning, but sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know more.
Our dream explained
Before having kids we were traveling as very typical digital nomads. We wanted to have a lifestyle with a lot of traveling with kids, but we also quickly realized that it does take a village to raise kids.
After having kids we have grown increasingly interested in the way we structure life, where all families live in small silos without being part of a community living nearby. When we did our first 6-month trip with 2 kids, we realized that traveling and living abroad with kids is amazing, but it also required a lot from us. Especially the social element and stability are things that we missed.
This is an idea that started forming in 2017 when we were expecting our first child. In 2024 the first Traveling Village happened after one year of working on the logistics. We now hope we can use this concept and idea, to keep experimenting with lifestyle, challenging ourselves, and learning more about living differently with kids.
We have two kids, who are both home full-time (no school or daycare), and a big part of this project is to experiment with a different way of bringing up kids and to let them learn through exploring and to give them a lot of free play. With TV we hope to create an environment with a lot of space for self-directed learning, where learning about different cultures is built and where we both kids and adults get comfortable with being in a community.
On this website, you can find more information about the idea and all our learnings from the first Traveling Village. You are always welcome to contact us with any questions!
Best wishes,

What does TV2 cost?
Traveling Village is run as a community project and we believe it’s important to be 100% transparent about the costs associated with joining a TV.
Meet the founding families
The two founding families were also part of the founding family group in village one and we decided to continue to work on TV. Both families have extensive group travel planning experience. Get to know them here.
