Results: We Travel Not To Escape Life, But For Life To Not Escape Us -- Part 2

Last year, a Quebec family set out on a year long trip to give their children the gift of travel before they could no longer experience it with their own eyes. The trip, which kicked off in March 2022, was dedicated to filling Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier's children's heads with memories. Three of their four children -- Mia, 12, Colin, 7, and Laurent, 5 -- have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic condition that will eventually leave them blind. Leo, 10, does not have the condition. Have you heard of or suffered from this genetic condition?

The family visited Malaysia, Thailand, Turkiye, Mongolia, Zambia and other countries. One of the most memorable experiences came from Nepal, which was not a part of the family's original plan. On top of the beautiful landscapes, the family was able to ride in hot air balloons, on ATVs and paragliders, filling their children's minds with memories to last a lifetime. Do you have any fond memories of trips you took when you were young?

After visiting 13 countries spanning three continents, the year-long adventure ended last May. The family accomplished what they set out to do, filling their children's minds with visual memories that will last them a lifetime. If you were in the same situation, would you have done the same?

The family documented their travels on their Facebook page, Le monde plein leurs yeux (the world through their eyes). And now, National Geographic Documentary Films will be featuring the family in a documentary about their travels. Will you watch the documentary when it comes out, or visit their Facebook page?
