Why We Walk This Earth
Our family travel blog focused on telling the story of a family that defy’s social norms and gives advice on getting out of it
About us?
Hey! Our names are Andrew, Demie and Aurora.
A family of three who have bene travelling on and off for almost 9 years! Andrew a freelance graphic designer with a passion for surfing and zooming the shelves for the latest packaging design, Demie the paediatric intensive care nurse turned mummy and Aurora the chatty and driven one year old who’s already proving that sitting still in this life is not an option!
Together we are the lawson-woods, the family who has proven from day one that you don’t have to parent the way society tells us to? Cant go abroad before there first birthday? cant go for dinners or date nights? and continuing to travel well thats gone! Sound familiar? These are all things we were told when we got pregnant! but here we are a year later proving that despite the struggles these can be achieved and not only that.. why they should be!
Follow us on our next journey where we move to our favourite place, Bali!!
Why this blog?
Look, we don’t pretend to be experts! We have never trained in travel, have never monetised of any of our trips and have a obsolete social media following. We are just two people, now three who have been on the road for a long time. we have stayed in almost every time of accommodation and have seen and done some incredible things!
If your looking for a blog for some lighthearted travel reading and some honest advice on dropping everything (one, two or a dozen times) and travelling the world then this is your place! This is a place to share what has worked well and not well for us, and what could do so for you to.
Enjoy the blog,
Love Andrew, Demie and Aurora x
Where it all started?
Andrew and Demie started travelling the world when they were just 17 years old they focused on tackling there first backpacker trip: the SE Asia circuit Thailand, laos Cambodia and Vietnam. Here is where our passion for travelling the world started and why we have not stopped since?
Ever heard of the term itchy feet? well i am here to tell you its a real thing! and has kept us travelling for 8 years and is the reason we are FINALLY making the big step to move to Asia in 2025!

I’m truly grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from the firm. Their expertise, dedication, and professionalism made a significant difference in my case.
Highly recommended.
