Buying a sailboat, with little experience (at first!) then wandering around the Mediterranean for two years, having a baby abroad, and eventually crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Oh yeah, they have 6 kids as well!

  Here's an amazing story of a determined family. Evo, Mira, and their daughter Maya from The Life Nomadik, blew me away with their story. They have done what very few people would be willing to do for their passion for travel or as they call it their "travel disease." Starting in what was then communist Bulgaria, where they dreamed of travel but were unable to leave, trying to escape into the mountains of neighboring Greece, then a trip to Singapore/Australia, where they tried to casually waltz out of the airport and into Australia, to finally going to Mexico and illegally crossing into the US and eventually Canada where they worked and built a life.
