Bodeswell.com is a blog dedicated to the stories and adventures of a traveling family.  As of August 2009, my husband and I have taken our 4 year old son for an extended voyage in our 1971 Volkswagen camper van.

Our plan is to travel for a few months in the United States and Canada, then head south to Mexico, and on to South America. We are hoping to study languages, do volunteer work, and try to find inspiration along the way.
