We hear so often how important experiences and traveling are for kids - even more important than so many of the toys they beg for all year long. It brings on so much family togetherness, but also memories that last a lifetime. We think we can all agree that the moments of traveling together as a family - the good and the bad - are all cherished, precious moments that have made a difference in our lives.

Some families have dropped it all to travel the world with their family. Yup, they are on the road all the time and loving every minute of it.

The BBC recently shared the stories of two different families who have left the traditional lifestyle of living in one home all the time and travel year-round with their families. Their enthusiasm is pretty contagious.

Natasha Biran and her husband Yair left their jobs that were incredibly demanding back in 2014 after the birth of their son to travel around Israel. Their son was six-month-old son when they hit the road.

"When Maoz was born it clicked - we thought it doesn't need to be like this, we didn't have to do a 9-5," said Natasha, who was director of an internship program. "I was starting to think about going back to work and we were looking at nurseries and were both just really sad about it - I didn't want to be away from Maoz and to put him in a framework.

"It made us think, if we didn't want that, what did we want? Do we want to be working and only seeing each other in the evening? I knew that's how it would look; we wanted to live differently. We wanted to feel inspired."

We totally get that. She began documenting their travels  on her Instagram page, Trusting the Way. "

Then, the Craven family took three children on a two-year sailing trip in 2014 which took in 84 harbors, 26 countries and 35,000 miles from Southampton to Grenada.

"We gave ourselves five years to come up with the money and make it happen. The reaction was predictable, people thought it was crazy and told us all the reasons why we shouldn't do it. And they were good reasons - we had never home-schooled, we didn't have the money, what about emergencies?" said Caspar, 47.

"So we wrote down every reason and went through each one in huge detail. Then we had five years of training - we had to get used to being on a boat as a family, being safe onboard, wearing a life jacket. We did training courses and both trained to be ship doctors. We were extremely rigorous."

They shared how they were very regimented with their children while traveling and made sure the parents worked in shifts and the kids had regular bed and meal times to rely on.

In both cases, the families feel like they are living their dreams.
