Le parcours
The route of these 4 years was determined according to the hurricane periods as well as the piracy zones; safety being a priority with young children. For this reason, we will cross the Atlantic Ocean 3 times to avoid the Gulf of Aden located between Somalia and Yemen as well as the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, two regions known for attacks often violent.
Traveling with our dog, we will also avoid countries that impose quarantines and procedures that are too restrictive for the reception of animals.
