Average Family Abroad

What does life look like when you exchange the white picket fence for a coffee farm in the southern Ecuadorian Andes? Come along with us and find out!

In 2021 we had the chance to make a longtime dream become reality. And when your longtime dream means raising your kids in South America, adventures are sure to follow! We bought a farm, built a house, and fell into a life more interesting and meaningful than we ever could have imagined. We’ll share it all here, the good and the challenging, which we’ve learned overlap far more often than they don’t.
