Hello there !


I'm actually wondering what type of people are touring the most.
Or in which situation.


For example, I'm currently dreaming of touring, however, there's a wife and 2 little children (2y 4y) I can't just leave home for a couple of months touring.
And they don't want to travel along (with the bike).
Technically I could leave, but it would be quite selfish to let her alone with our 2 children to take care for. I don't want that as I love my family, so that won't be an option.
(I maybe do later on in my life when they're older, so than I have now lots of time to plan journeys in advance)


I know a few other people touring around, but they all are single or couples or friends who are kind of free to travel without strings attached.
They easily can leave their job, home or family for a long time.
But once you're settled, mortgages, children, things get more difficult.


So, tell me what's your situation?
And if you're in a more difficult situation, how did you get out? (without much damage)
