The Kortmans aren't like other families. The family of six have no home — and they couldn't be happier.

In 2014, Paul and Becky Kortman decided to sell their home and nearly all their possessions so that they could lead a life of "location independence."

Along with their four children, Alia 9, Josia 7, Mathias 5 and Zander 3, Paul and Becky travel the world with no permanent address and no real idea of where or when they'll settle down.

Since the family set off on their epic journey, they have been  blogging on their website, "Home Along The Way," documenting the joys (and sometimes the struggles) of living with no permanent address.

They also have set up Nomad Together, a website dedicated to equipping families who are considering following in the Kortmans' footsteps.

It's impossible to fit their entire journey so far into one post, but below are some of the highlights.

In 2004, two years before the arrival of their first child Alia, Paul and Becky decided to travel the world as a couple.



They spent 6 months teaching in Kazakhstan and 6 months in South Africa — and of course, they took in some other sights along the way.



While in South Africa, Becky and Paul helped to set up computer literacy centres. They trained poor and underprivileged people to use computers in order to help them eventually find jobs. The students had to be taught basics that we find easy, such as how to click on a desktop icon using a mouse.
