the Wilds at the Artists' Beach House, 2015

Artistshouses are an amazing selection of six holiday homes filled with art, soul and good vibes, in North Queensland, Australia and Berlin, created by Matthew, Tina, Pablo and Hugo Wild. Tina Gonsalves is an artist. Matthew Wild is a chef. Their son, Pablo Wild is nine and sees the world as his home. Little Hugo is loving the adventures. We travel a lot, but when we are not, we live between Beautiful Port Douglas,and amazing Berlin, and we love to spend time in Goa, India as well.

Our homes are created from love, hard work, and a passion of collecting and making. We search the world for items we love. As much as possible, we try to use recycled building materials, and upcycle furniture. Our houses aren't fussy or pretentious, but they are all about charming you, making you feel great, and most importantly about love and celebrating the creative spirit! Stop searching - you have found the perfect holiday homes! Houses that create wonderful memories, inspire the senses, and most of all, feel like a home away from home.

Pablo in the Philippines, 2015

Pablo Wild is eight years old. He has traveled a lot in his young life. As part of his schooling this year, he will be writing a journal to share and remember his travels. From China, to Morocco, to Europe, to India, its been an incredible childhood. Check out his blog.

Pablo says his favorite country is India. He loves apples. And he love his little brother hugo, even though sometimes he annoys him. He also loves minecraft. He loves swimming on the beach and surfing, he likes karate, and he loves his friends and all of his family. He wishes there was no pollution, no wars,no guns and no shoes.

This year, we will also be writing our own blog about traveling with a family. We have never let parenthood stop our quest to explore the world.

Its not a traditional life we are living, and some might say our lifestyle is brave with such a young family, but as hard as it can be, it feels like each day something new is learned, and discovered. We are always greeted with such warmth and smiles. The kids have got used to having their daily sleeps around chaos, on trains, tricycles, ferries, planes. Its made them calm little confident beings, and Pablo is developing such curious nature about the world. Its been brilliant for them, and for us a parents. I hope our kids see the world as their home, and that there are many different ways to live a life. It definitely a challenge taking your kids out of the normal life, but for us, its been an incredible adventure. Our blog documents the adventures and challenges of our 2016 journey.

Incredible week in the Peruvian Amazon. Our camp was based a few hours drive, then a few hours boat ride from Iquitos, up a tributary of the Amazon river, The immensity of the sounds and smell of nature is overwhelming. It’s so intense, it’s suffocating and liberating. The boys loved Piranha fishing and alligator hunting, hugging a visiting sloth called Pablo, night walks and boat trips through the jungle, monkeys jumping out of the jungle and all over the canoe, nature in abundance. The lungs of the world. #amazon #iquitos #peru #amazonexpeditions #worldschooling #travelwithkids #amazingworld

Thank you Mexico City. We had a huge few days, and you deserve a lot more time. One day we walked 15km! Noise, colour, chaos, history and great vibes. We are tired but we loved it. #mexicocity #mexico #travelwithkids #familytravel #worldschooling #keeptraveling #lovelife

Another happy guest at the Artists’ Treehouse. “This place will knock your socks off. It is absolutely amazing...decor, comfort, location, amenities. It’s one of those places you can spend hours just enjoying the thoughtful (and artful) touches throughout the “Treehouse”. It’s within walking distance of just about everything you’d want in Port Douglas. Night is quiet and safe. Morning time you can be awoken by the birds if you want. This family of four from Louisiana can’t wait to tell our friends and to get back.” #artiststreehouse #portdouglas #portdouglasdaintree #tropicalhomes #airbnb #perfectholiday #beachliving #greatdays #creativeliving #inspiration

Beautiful road trip through the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico 🇲🇽 #travel #travellingthroughtheworld #mexico #yucatan #greatdays #lovelife #worldschooling #familytravel #travelwithkids

Our beautiful two bedroom Berlin apartment is available from the 5th to the 7th of December #citylife #berlin #berlinlifestyle #booknow #germany #airbnb

Missing our beautiful home on the beach. Over the last week of our road trip through the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico we have been staying in a lot of hotels, which are hard work after our recent house swaps in Tulum , cruise ship through the Caribbean and Airbnb’s in Egypt. The Airbnb app has really impacted travel - making it so much easier to travel with a family. Having access to a kitchen, a washing machine and bedrooms makes family travel so much easier. Tomorrow we move into our Airbnb in Mexico City and then our Airbnb in Lima and then our Airbnb in the Amazon. #artistsbeachfront #travel #familytravel #beachfront #airbnb #tropicalhomes #portdouglas #wongabeach #australia #beachlife #travellife

Beautiful day at Laguna bacala, near the border of Belize. We are into our road trip through the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico 🇲🇽 stopping off at little villages, Cenotes, beaches and Mayan ruins. What a beautiful part of the world. Chilled out people and great food. It’s always harder being in hotels after a a beautiful house swap in Tulum, but we are settling into it. As I write this, the kids are eating quesadillas for breakfast and we are trying to learn a bit more Spanish. I am trying to communicate with Spanish I learnt twenty years ago, and mostly my mind is blank, but Matt thinks my Spanish is fantastic. 😳 few people speak English, and we are heading to South America, so it’s time to learn a lot more. A lot more ✌️ #mexico #bacalar #roadtrip #worldtrip #travelwithkids #exploretheworld #lagunabacalar #worldschooling
