My Travel Story

by: Gemma Martin Start Date: Jul 22, 2016 - End Date: May 17, 2017

I have been inspired by the 'off-grid' family who appeared on This Morning in July 2016. This family have been subject to alot of abuse since they have appeared on TV and whilst I do not judge anyones parenting methods- their choices do seem a little questionable.

They have set u a fundmytravel page to raise £100,000 to move to Costa Rica with their unvacinated, uneducated children to live of the land and have a self sustained lifestyle. (Which they want Joe Public to fund) 

It is with that I would like to set up a similar page, a fundmytravel page dedicated to my travels and the adventures I would like to take my children on.
I have two, TJ, eight and Cadence, nine. They are normal British children, they go to a adorable primary school, have a good group of friends and attend an after school club with St Johns Ambulance. They are very animal orientated and both wish to pursue a career working with animals.
I went back to education at 30 years old to pusue a career as a veterinary nurse, as of this moment, I am awaiting to see if I get into university.

I currently am in the starting stages of piecing together an unbelievable trip which will see us go to exotic locations. TJ would like to help with turtle conservation and Cadence is interested in big cats. We would hope to construct a vacation where we were not only learning and seeing the world, but also helping endangered species and inspiring others to do the same.

I will update this page with my plans and further information about our wheres and whys as they are discovered.

 

I must also point out that, whilst I have zero expectations that anyone will help fund this once in a lifetime opportunity - I would like to think that by being open and honest about what the money will  be used for, we would be more successful that the 'off-grid' family. This is why I am setting the total to raise as the same as them. 

Should anyone fund me, or if by a certain miracle this happened, all remaining funds would be re-gifted into fundmytravel campaigns.

 

If anyone has an information of volunteering projects please get in touch.

I appreciate everyone who has took the time to read this and wish you all well on your travels.
