Life Without Borders
Raising curious kids while exploring the world
We’re the Gates family, a UK crew of five with Hungarian roots who made a big leap in 2025-we left the UK to create a life where we could be fully present with our kids while exploring the world.
This family travel blog is where I (Anett) share our journey- with three little ones, worldschooling adventures, plant-based living, and natural parenting. It’s not perfect, it’s not always easy, but it’s real.

Our Future Plans
Where We’re Headed in 2026
We’re heading into 2026 with a loose plan and plenty of space to adapt. Choosing places that work for family life, learning, and remote work while still staying mindful of our budget.
Planned stops include
Malaysia
exploring family-friendly cities, food, and culture
Borneo
nature, wildlife, and learning far beyond the classroom
Indonesia
family reunion and visiting some new islands

a long-held dream we’re finally preparing for
We have more places on our list, but we’re choosing slow travel - staying longer, moving less, and seeing what truly fits our family. Plans may change, and that’s part of the journey.
