Andrew and Debbie Jones have 5 kids: Sam, Lizzy, Abi, Hannah and TJ. They left Orkney (an island off the north coast of Scotland) in March 2009 to travel the world in a 4×4 Overlander truck named Maggie.

In an email to me Debbie asked, “Seems most other nomadic families only travel for a short time and/or smaller areas. Know any traveling the world overland, like us?”

Well, I do know of some other long-term traveling families, but after interviewing Debbie, I can safely say that I know of nobody else remotely like the Joneses. They describe themselves as a “bizarre collection of individualists” and I’d say that hits the mark. What a crazy, fun-loving, creative family. Spend some time on their blog after reading this interview and you’ll see what I mean.
