2 Three of Edith and Sebastiens 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 thiscondition lose all of their eyesight by the time they are adults.

4 Their original plan was to leave in July 2020, but the plan was delayed for somereasons. Instead, they threw their itinerary out the window and left Montreal in March2022. They planned to spend an entire year travelling, and they chose their destinations onthe fly.

5 The first place they visited was Africa. They spent time in Namibia, Zambia, andTanzania. Then they left for Turkey, where they lived for a full month. After that, it wasMongolia followed by Indonesia. Along the way, the family encountered difficult weather,bad moods, and the minor discomfort that accompanied travelling.
