A family-of-five from Shropshire have set off on an extraordinary adventure, travelling the globe in a motorhome they built from scratch.
Father Ben Moody, mother Emma, eldest son Archie, middle daughter Matilda and youngest daughter Lola are set to travel the world
Ben Moody and his wife Emma, are undertaking the journey as a way of spending more time with their young children – Archie, who is 12, Matilda, who is 10 and Lola, who is 8. Ben was away from home a lot when he was a member of the British Armed Forces and missed much of his children’s young years as they were growing up.

The new Schengen rule, due to Brexit, has posed challenges for the family as it means they can only spend a maximum of three months in Europe at a time.
