Ever dream of living off the grid in an amazing house! This opportunity might just be for you. With a school at the end of the street and easy access to the beach this place would be paradise.  

When we decided to take a six-month family sabbatical, we knew we’d have a lot to do to get ready. What we didn’t realize is how the entire planning process leading up to the journey was a learning experience every bit as much as the actual time away has become. Here’s how we did it.

We are just an average American family. We live in a middle-class, suburban neighborhood. We have the requisite two cars (one being a mini-van), mortgage on a house too big for us, and a busy kids' schedule. Up until recently, we even had the dumb, happy dog to go along with our happy, perfect life. But something was missing. Something was imperfect in suburbia.

My husband and I have must gypsy blood. Otherwise, why would we have this longing to see the world? We’re not waiting for retirement to do what we want to do. People think they can't detach from their life but if they can. We all can. Even with kids. In fact, it’s BETTER with kids!

With its beautiful beaches, picture perfect scenery and wide range of activities on offer, the legendary island of Cyprus is an island that will keep the whole family entertained.

There are hundreds of families the world over, many of them our personal friends, who have figured out how to have their cake and eat it too.
