A family. A road interrupted. A reconstruction.

A life built. An ordeal crossed. Projects that hold up.

LEVIS FAMILY ADVENTURE is not a travel blog. It is the real story of a family that built, stepped away from an imposed path, faced an extraordinary ordeal, and chose to rebuild from Costa Rica concrete projects to learn, to work and to live differently.

Manifesto

What you are reading here is not a travel diary.

We renovated a caravan. Built a house with our own hands. Prepared a departure most people did not understand. Took part in an educational trip followed for a whole school year by children in disability situations. Crossed southern Europe with our two children. Then began the discovery of the three Americas. A major ordeal tied to our former life in France interrupted the rest of the journey.

Today, from Costa Rica, we are rebuilding. Not just a life. Projects, services and useful tools. LEVIS FAMILY ADVENTURE has become the starting point of everything we create: services, educational tools, websites, brands.

Every project on this site was born from this story. Nothing is invented. Nothing is theoretical. Everything comes from the field.

A real family, a story built, and projects that have become concrete.
Living transmission

A journey that became a school.

Before the ordeal, our journey was not a postcard. From France to Spain, then on towards Costa Rica, we turned our route into educational material followed for a full school year by children in disability situations.

Each stage produced a notebook. Each notebook became a tool for learning, inclusion and transmission. 28 solidarity notebooks were created, sent out and used in class. Then a major ordeal halted the rest of the journey.

This work shaped our pedagogical standards. They now feed our educational projects: SLOWO, CANOPY, LUMILANG and HOPLA CHEF.

This is not inspiration. This is living pedagogy, field-tested.

The ordeal

Our journey was supposed to continue.
An ordeal stopped it.

The initial plan was clear: keep discovering the three Americas with our children, keep transmitting and creating.

A major ordeal tied to our former life in France broke that trajectory. It forced us to rebuild from Costa Rica: projects, services and concrete tools, designed to be useful beyond our own story.

But it did not destroy our ability to build.

What you see on this site, the projects, the services, the tools, was born from this reconstruction. It is the proof that a trajectory can be broken without the will to build going with it.
