About Us
We're the Seyds family from Slovakia, but you already know us... Johnny (45), Simona (39), Leo (19), Matyas (13), Arthur (7), and Simeon (3) - a family of six embarking on the adventure through Asia.
Why This Trip?
Our decision to take this 9-month journey wasn't made lightly. Several factors aligned to create this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:
Perfect Timing
With Leo about to enter adulthood, this was our last chance for extended family bonding time before life takes us in different directions.
Real-World Education
We believe there's no better classroom than the world itself. This journey offers our children invaluable cultural learning experiences.
Family Dream
For years, we've dreamed of exploring Asia together. The time finally felt right to turn that dream into reality.
New Perspective
Stepping outside our normal routines to gain fresh life perspective and grow together as a family.
Our Travel Philosophy
We approach travel with curiosity and authenticity. Rather than rushing through tourist checklists, we're committed to embracing cultural differences, sharing real experiences (both challenges and highlights), and continuously learning and adapting as a family.
Our goal isn't perfection - it's authentic connection and growth through exploration.
