Peter Tryon stresses that one of the main factors behind their decision was the desire to spend more time together as a family.
"We've found that the adventure, spontaneity and the challenges of traveling bring us together and also create the opportunity to bond in a unique and strong way," he says.
Over the past year, the Tryons have traveled around much of Thailand, as well as Singapore and Malaysia, all while juggling homeschooling.
While they have no regrets, both admit that their new lifestyle has come with its challenges. Although being teachers themselves has proved to be an advantage in many ways, Emma Tryon feels they perhaps "went in too hard with the education" at the start, explaining that they've since gone for a more relaxed approach.
"You're so used to going through schooling more traditionally," she explains. "We took a lot of misconceptions into homeschooling.
"But it's amazing how quick, fast, natural and easy learning becomes when it's done by intentionally living and learning as you go."
In terms of structure, the couple each have one-on-one "intentional" teaching periods of around 30 minutes with both of their sons in the morning, and have found that this sets them up well for the day.
