We’re Greg Baster and Angela Stephens.

Having two young sons who were not thriving in the city but who loved to ski and be in the mountains, we made two huge and difficult decisions.

First, to home-school our sons. Going through the review and approval process for home-schooling wasn’t easy, but it made a huge difference to our boys. Their interest in learning had always been there, but being allowed to explore subject matter to a deeper level at their own pace really set their creative and intelligent minds on fire.

The second decision was easier and set us up for the lifestyle we cherish today. We looked outside of Sydney for a home that gave our sons space and an environment to enjoy personal freedoms and a challenging physical outdoors life.

These commitments came with their own costs, financial, emotional, personal and physical.

Was it worth it?
