Baby on Board: Interview with Alice Smudge

Ever dreamed of living life on the road?

Meet the Family Smudge: Scott and Alice, 1-year old Isabella, and Milla, the family dog. Earlier this year, Scott quit his full-time job, and they sold their house, scaling down their belongings to live in a camper. Three months later, the Family Smudge hit the road, setting out from their home in England on a long-term road trip around Europe. This isn't just a family holiday: this is a complete change of lifestyle.

In this interview, TravelBlogs talks to Alice about their decision to pack up, live in a camper, and travel around Europe.

Bird Year

Birds, birds, birds. And then a few more. Malkolm Boothroyd is a 15-year old bird-lover on a year-long cycling adventure through North America with his parents. (Interview with Malkolm, Ken and Wendy)

A 10,000 Mile Quest for Birds: An Interview with Malkolm, Ken and Wendy

15-year old Malkolm is on a year-long 10,000 mile bike-trip across North America with his parents, Ken and Wendy. Why? Birds, to put it simply.

They're on what's known by bird lovers as a Big Year, trying to catch a glimpse of as many types of bird as they can. But they're doing it with two key differences: by cycling the entire way, they're making an important point about fossil-fuel-free transportation; and they're also raising money for bird conservation.
