在學校當副主任的Paul Davies (40) 和他38歲擔任行政助理的老婆Adele帶著他們原本在卡馬森郡Ffairfach國小就讀的7歲女兒Nel和9歲的Lili Mai「戶外教學」環遊全世界一年。他們為了這個一生只有一次的冒險,花了9年存旅費,總共旅行了48,280公里、12個國家,享受自由自在的感覺。
他們全家在2013年九月從威爾斯西部的藍達比(Llandybie)出發,在此之前,這兩個可愛的女兒從來沒有坐過飛機。他們一路到紐約血拼、在凱恩斯大堡礁浮潛、到越南的下龍灣滑獨木舟、在寮國騎大象,還遇到斐濟的原住民,他們也到法國西北的布列塔尼半島。
他們也沒有怠慢他們的學業,爸爸Paul在旅程中也還是繼續教育兩個女兒國定課程,讓他們環遊世界後不會落後。

這對夫婦表示:「我們的女兒每到一個新的地方就像上了新的一堂課,她們的算數能力變很好,因為要換算不同國家的貨幣,他們的溝通能力和自信也天天都在進步。讀萬卷書不如行萬里路!我相信我們的女兒在旅途中學到了她們在學校學不到的東西,她們一定一輩子都忘不了我們的旅程。」

雖然他們的女兒一年中都沒有去學校上課,但是她們親身體驗了國家地理課、社會文化課…也學會了冒險。這家人也為威爾斯語言頻道S4C一路拍攝紀錄他們旅遊的經驗,現在這些影片都還能在網路上觀看。
