Prologue
Welcome friends and strangers. This is us. A family from Prague, Czech Republic. On a single decent common photo from this year.
Staying behind a camera makes it difficult to be in front of it. Kids move really fast. Neither we are much into selfies. Plus more excuses upon request.
By the way. It is nice to be clean and nicely dressed. It does not happen often to all of us at the same time. And it definitely does not stay so for long. As you will see.
The Family Travel Circus crew (from left):
Lukas: The sad Clown and funny Ringmaster deputy. Sometimes Magician and wild animals Tamer.
Olívie (2): Her majesty cutie optimist. Singer and Dancer. Soon to be Acrobat and Clown.
Tadeáš (5): His holiness creative craziness. Major Clown, Acrobat, Tightrope Walker, Juggler and the one to shoot himself out of the canon (one day).
Kaczulka: The real Ringmaster, everyday Magician and practical Stunts Artist.

The idea
The idea to go on travelling with kids is the long term one. It was born many years before they were. We love travelling and want to pass the knowledge and spirit. We believe that it is the best education and training possible. For all of us.
The decision
It is just right timing. Tadeáš is not yet attending school and Olívie has greatly developed her skills to be easier to go on with. Kaczulka is still on her parental leave and I have finished one career path thinking of going a different direction from now on. So we all are kind of free and without much of common life burdens at the moment.
The plan
The plan is to travel independently on the Thailand - Malaysia & Singapore - Cambodia - Thailand route in 72 days. South East Asia is a part of the world we love and been returning to for a decade.
The organisation and framework
Though we like to be partly ad-hoc mood-decision travelers we believe that the exact planning and scheduling is required and will pay of while travelling with kids.
We prefer to travel independently and manage our budget to offer great value (and experience) for the money. Staying rationally low-cost where possible and not hesitating to pay extra coin for what´s truly worth it.
The hopes and wishes
We hope to enjoy it all in a good health (and mental state). The risks are always there and it is worth taking them seriously. Especially in relation to the kids. So we wish the gods would be kind and merciful. And thanks to all who´ll keep their fingers crossed.
