- Miller Family in Troglodyte dwelling
Welcome Friends, Family, Fellow Adventurers and Dreamers of Big Dreams! We’re so glad you found us. Grab a cup of tea and settle into the great big world with us! If you’ve been with us for a while then you already know who we are and what we’re doing… so check out the travelogues for new stories and pictures from the road.
You’ll notice that our site is changing as our edventure continues and we spend the coming year exploring our own continent and the one directly south of it… in a van and camper this time… but with our bikes in tow!
If you’re here for the first time, we’re pleased to meet you! We’re the Miller family. In early 2008 we sold our house and almost all of our stuff, boxed what little was left and hit the road. Last year we toured most of Europe and part of North Africa on our bicycles… with all four kids. In the meantime, we created a super cool way for families to travel with us and experience the world from home through a series of cross curricular multi-level unit studies we’re calling The Virtual Field Trip. The Edventure begins as you download the packet of materials for each country we pass through. In each packet, designed for multi-level teaching, your family will learn about the country itself and read about our adventures as we explore it in person. You’ll see photographs and hear the sounds unique to that part of the world via podcast. You can make the Edventure up close and personal through application of the project ideas and cross curricular extension activities. Don’t forget to take advantage of our literature links to make the history and geography of each region come alive! In addition to all of that, your family will have the opportunity to communicate directly with us as we travel. Your children can ask questions of our children, you can send notes of encouragement or suggest ideas of things to see along the way. In this way you can truly affect the outcome of the Edventure and become a part of the Virtual Field Trip!

If you’re here for the first time, we’re pleased to meet you!
We’re the Miller family. In early 2008 we sold our house and almost all of our stuff, boxed what little was left and hit the road.
We spent last year touring most of Europe and part of North Africa on our bicycles… with all four kids. In the meantime, we created a super cool way for families to travel with us and experience the world from home through The Edventure Project.
This year the Edventure continues as we live and work on the road across North and Central America. Our plans for the coming months include a cottage on Cape Cod, a road trip to Costa Rica and back, and some summer fun in New England and Canada. We hope you’ll join us for the joy ride that is life!
There are lots of ways you can join the fun:
Travel with us from home through a series of cross curricular multi-level unit studies we’re calling The Virtual Field Trip.
Subscribe to the RSS feed on the Travelogue page and get immediate updates when we’ve posted something new!
Listen to the Podcasts and hear the sounds of people and places we visit as well as the pictures and videos.
Contact us! You and your children are welcome to ask questions or request that we make a special visit to something you’d like to see or suggest something fabulous that you’ve experienced but we have not! In this way you can help direct the journey!
Life is short and we only get one shot at it. In ten short years our kids will be gone, creating their own grand adventures, and our whole family will fit on one tandem bike. Right now, knee deep in mud pies and sticky fingers we almost can’t imagine it… but then again, we can. It’s this clock ticking in the background that motivates us to spend this decade living large with our kids, four fabulous humans who’ll live on into a future we’ll never see. We can’t think of a better gift to give them than the world as their classroom and a global vision of humanity. Won’t you join us in dreaming big dreams, living the one life you have well and sucking the marrow from every day God gives each of us?
