Live your life to the fullest!
Parenting, Passports and Profits is all about helping you live your life to the fullest.
It is our contribution to foster a community for parents and help YOU discover your version of living life by design. To enjoy as many cultural experiences as possible, regardless of where you live, work or play.
It's about being a digital nomad family, a freedompreneur and a global citizen. This means having the freedom to explore, to contribute and serve others while investing as much time as possible building meaningful relationships.
Living life by design

For us, living life by design is about having the opportunity to worldschool/unschool our daughter (As of 2019, that is now daughters!). To spend lots of quality time together, and to make a meaningful contribution to the world.
It’s about living differently and enjoying our time on the planet while being part of something bigger than ourselves.
How do you want to live life by design?
For you, living your life by design could mean something completely different and we want to support your dreams.
- Maybe it means getting out of the rat race. Or getting more balance in your life so you can attend your kids’ sports matches or school performances more regularly?
- Perhaps you want to scratch an itch to have an adventure or travel to new places with your children?
- Or maybe you’ve been sitting on an idea to start your own business so you can enjoy more family time. But you just can't find a way to kickstart your plans?
Everyone's journey is unique because everyone’s drivers and ambitions are different. By being part of this community we hope that we can help you, one step at a time, to get closer to whatever living life by design means to you.

How we live a life by design | Our story
First of all, we're Little Miss, Colin and Elly. We call New Zealand home but consider ourselves 'global citizens'. We are slowly but steadily building a new life as freedompreneurs and a digital nomad family.
Like most people, our story has many starting points, but the real catalyst for change came at the end of 2016.
We were becoming increasingly unsettled with our life in our amazingly idyllic country, New Zealand. We’d gotten into a downward spiral with businesses that weren’t working and were rapidly eating away at everything we had.
We had an out of kilter work-life balance and a high level of stress. We were working harder than ever but getting less and less rewards.

Little Miss up close with all her curls
Born late in 2013, she is our special ray of sunshine and the main reason we choose the life we do.
Loud, energetic and usually chooses to do anything other than go to bed! (She sleeps way too little for our liking!)
An avid reader, she continually surprises us by reading books out loud to us. (I guess her memory is developing well as sometimes she can do this after hearing it read to her only a few times!)
Born in the water and now with access to a pool on a daily basis, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that she can already swim.
And finally, she's the one who bosses us around and offers to help us all in the same paragraph!
But most importantly, the one we want to be with all the time [well, nearly all the time! :-)]
