This is the story of how Raul, Mia and Uma moved from a pretty terraced-house in South-West London to the rainforest.

It all started when, last spring, we decided to celebrate Mia’s 8th birthday in Costa Rica. Every time we travel with our kids, we know we are in for a fantastic adventure. At that time, though, we didn’t know we were about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime…

A year later, our house is up for sale, the winter clothes are going to the local charity shops, the old toys are being sold.
