We are the Cooney Family. Mike, Catrell, Twin Boys -Morgan, & Zach, and Harrison. We decided approximately 3 years ago to sell everything - home, cars, boat, furniture, potted plants, etc. and begin an around the world journey. Some have thought that we are completely nuts, others consider our decision unimaginable, but most say, “How exciting!”, “I wish we had the nerve to do something like that.” And the overwhelming response has been “Your children are so fortunate. What a great opportunity for them.” To which we said . . . Exactly! Here’s our theory: give our three sons a way to see the world, experience other cultures and appreciate what all of us tend to take for granted before they go to college. That experience, coupled with a good education will almost assuredly put them on the road to success, regardless of the vocation they choose. We started our adventure on August 25, 2008.
