2Three of Edith and Sebastien's four kids, were diagnosed with a rare genetic (基因的) condition called retinitis pigmentosa (色素性视网膜炎).Most people who have this condition lose all of their eyesight by the time they are adults.
3Doctors and specialists advised the parents to fill the kids with visual memories from books.However, the couple decided to take their kids on a year long trip to show their kids the world and fill them with as many beautiful sights as possible while they could.
4Their original plan was to leave in July 2020, but the plan was delayed for some reasons.Instead, they threw their itinerary out the window and left Montreal in March 2022.They planned to spend an entire year travelling, and they chose their destinations on the fly.
5The first place they visited was Africa.They spent time in Namibia, Zambia, and Tanzania.Then they left for Turkey, where they lived for a full month.After that, it was Mongolia followed by Indonesia.Along the way, the family encountered difficult weather,bad moods, and the minor discomfort that accompanied travelling.Edith and Sebastien believe that these experiences are also useful and will help the kids become more resilient as their eyesight continues to fade.
