"550 dies": the experience of a family traveling the world

Albert, Karina, Bernat and Abril are a family of four who he has spent a year and a half traveling For Cambodia, Burma, India, Nepal, Bolívia, Colombia, ..., good for a total of 18 countries. And they have lived experiences that I imagine are totally enriching for everyone, and especially for children.

Bernat was five years old, and April 3, they were going away from Catalonia, where their house is; but judging by the photos and the video that I include below, have been able to adapt to very different environments from each other. Can you imagine what it can mean for a child to meet the different people who have met along the way?, A real luxury, of course.

But what you want to know about this trip you have in La Volta al Món, and also in a book that they want to edit through crowfunding (with Verkami). “550 dies” will be published in Catalan, and is a summary of moments and feelings of all that time they have traveled together and knowing each other in another way (a great opportunity).

To be able to edit it they must get the total amount (4600 euros), and the truth is they already have more than half. The book has 390 pages and milled binding. The contributions will be used to cover the costs of design, layout, printing, dissemination and distribution of the book, with an edition of 500 copies; as well as expenses related to the rewards derived from the project.

In addition, all the 'extra' money (which exceeds the figure), will be allocated 50% by the family to the NGO Angkor Hospital for Children; and the other 50% will be to improve the quality of the book (more photographs, pages of more weight), for the edition of more books.

As soon as the set amount is exceeded, they will start working on the layout of the book. And after two months of finishing the campaign, the book will be ready to be sent to the patrons.

This is a travel book, but above all about emotions related to travel, and how you can learn even from those communities that are most disadvantaged, and do not have the basic services at hand as we do. Because the wealth of people is not always in the possessions, so this trip has surely been very educational for April and Bernat.
