trSometimes life gives us a reminder of how short it really is. In those opportunities, we have two options: either we embrace it and try to make the best out of it, or we simply don’t pay attention to it and continue life.
After losing a dear friend, this Aussie mom decided to make the most out of her life and decided to go around the world with her 6-year-old daughter. The duo now has almost a year traveling, and you can follow their adventures on their IG account where they have over 50k followers.

Evie Farrel and her daughter Emmie have traveled around the world for almost a year.
Recently Evie lost a dear friend and that made her realized how short life really is.
Her friend passed away from cancer and was a wonderful woman, and the mother of two children.
Her death was a reminder to grab life and do everything while you can.
So she decided to spend her savings in a different way.
Instead of getting a new kitchen she took her 6-year-old daughter traveling around the world.
She considered her daughter Emmie, would be more grateful for this experience instead of a new kitchen.
She also thought it was a great way to teach Emmie that life is more than working behind a desk and paying bills.
So the 43-year-old consultant from Sydney prepared everything and started their adventure in February 2016.
In the past months, they visited thirteen countries.
Their destinations include Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, UK, Vietnam, France and China.
Evie said “We’ve traveled for a whole year with one backpack… and there’s no way I’m going back to my old way of life now”
These two really love adventures and know how to have a great time.
They keep their IG account updated with the most adorable pics.
Evie says that over time Emmie “She would thank me for filling her early years with amazing experiences, learning, and sights and sounds from around the world”
And really, what else could anyone ask for?
Spending time with your loved ones while discovering new places and cultures.
I don’t think there’s a better way to spend time.
The adventure has brought not only good times and amazing memories to the pair, but also wisdom.
Evie says “I’ve learned this year that if you want something badly enough, you can make it happen.”
Give it up for these two world travelers!
These are parenting goals, for sure.
