'We don't know how fast it's going to go, but we expect them to be completely blind by mid-life.'
The Lemay-Pelletier family explore the Quivertree Forest in Namibia, where they began their world trip.However, they were forced to delay their trip by a number of years due to the travel restrictions brought about by the global pandemic, and revised their itinerary countless times. When they eventually left Montreal in March 2022, they had few plans in place.
"We're focusing on sights," explains Pelletier."We're also focusing a lot on fauna and flora. We've seen incredible animals in Africa, but also in Turkey and elsewhere. "They're going to need to be really resilient throughout their life," adds Lemay, pointing out that Mia, Colin and Laurent will have to constantly readjust as their eyesight worsens."Traveling is something you can learn from. It's nice and fun, but it also can be really hard. You can be uncomfortable. You can be tired. There's frustration. So there's a lot that you can learn from travel itself.
For Leo, their second eldest child, the knowledge of his siblings genetic condition was"always a fact of life." "They're super-curious," she says."They easily adapt to new countries and new food. I'm very impressed with them."
