Double digits are a big deal, but for him, it also marks another major landmark in his life:
Ezra has been traveling for over half of his life now. We took our test trip, cycling 500 miles around the Maritime Provinces of Canada when he was just four, we sold his house out from under him when he was five.
As of today, Ezra’s traveled on four continents, and through 16 countries… he’ll add three more in the next month and a half.
In celebration of his nomadic childhood, here are a few pictures of a boy growing up on the road:
