What we know about 2027

The plan so far

Some things are fixed. Others will probably change more than once before we leave.

Confirmed

What we know for sure and have already planned around.

When we leave

We plan to leave in mid-January 2027 and travel for around nine months, this time as a family.

Taking shape

The parts we are comparing and slowly fitting into the route.

What is already fixed

The first flights are booked and parts of the route are already clear. We will add the rest once we really know where we are going.

Still open

The parts we have deliberately left open for now.

What can still change

We are deliberately leaving parts open. Nine months is a long time, and we know from our first trip that not every good decision can be made from home.
