This 4-Year-Old Just Got To Do Something That Most Of Us Will Never Experience

It’s no secret that kids love stuff. Whether you hand them new toys or cough up innumerable boxes of crayons, plenty of children have materialistic tendencies. They’re just tactile little buggers, and that’s totally okay.

But instead of letting their four-year-old son get his hands on the newest toy or latest iPad, they gave him the gift of travel. Last summer, Mihai Barbu, his wife Oana, and their little boy Vladimir set out for the European adventure of a lifetime. They packed up everything they’d need to survive on the open road, and they did it all with the help of their faithful sidecar (which they playfully call Zair).

To keep track of their many adventures, they decorated Zair with some flag stickers along the way.

After four months of incredible travel, the trio reached their final destination in Greece.

Some people wait an entire lifetime to see gorgeous countries like this, and Vladimir was lucky enough to experience the gift of travel before starting kindergarten! I have a feeling that this little one is going to lead a life that most of us could only dream of.
