A young family leaves their home on Kauai. It is time to return to the itinerant path from which all things in their uncommon lives come; beginning and ending on a remote dot in the Pacific. They nomadically trace continents to places where waves meet their edges, envoys of aloha. It is what they will learn, what they bring others, what they will pass on to their children in the hyper-expanded classroom, the lab of direct being; a legacy passed from a father to his family.
An adventure cannot be written before it happens so the film remains untitled until it unfolds. Together with a small film crew the Goodwins will document how they are changed by their travels, and the effect they have on their acquaintances, hosts, friends and ticket agents as they circumnavigate our planet, through 18 countries and four seasons. This is the story of their encounters with the world.
They step into the current faithfully, inquisitively, boldly and with good will.

Such a wonderful children’s movie, if you have not seen it i suggest you do. The couple dream of a place called Paradise Falls, the most beautiful place on earth. They create an adventure book together filled with photos and stories of fantastical journeys that they take together. In the beginning of the book is this image of Paradise falls.
They build a colourful house together and fill the inside with wonderful paintings. This one of Paradise Falls below is painted in the lounge room. A building company in America called Bangerter Homes has actually built a replica of the Up house and this couples has used the house an opportunity for a colourful anniversary photo shoot. Check some of these photos out.
These photos below are from a National Geographic photo shoot see them all here.

“I think play, and tenderness and slowness and safety are being taken away more and more.”

”My work is often therapeutic because I often give expression to this inner voice. For example, I might make a small piece about a person oppressed and ground down by tiredness. This life is actually very exhausting. It doesn’t give humans much time to contemplate anything. We are not resting ourselves and there is the feeling we have got to keep working and pushing really hard. So I draw the person running and running and running-for no apparent reason. And suddenly I find that I have touched on something that is perhaps universal.”
