Influencer cuts family ‘van life’ trip short for surprising reason

Influencer pulls her children out of school to travel Australia in a van – only to cancel the trip after just two months because travelling with kids was ruining her marriage

Influencer Tammi Keirl took her two children out of school to travel Australia, but has decided to cut the trip short as it’s putting a strain on her marriage.

In October 2022, the mother-of-two told her 85,000 Instagram followers that she, her husband, and their two daughters Ruby and Savannah were going to do a lap of Australia in a campervan.

However, within just two months the influencer changed her mind and cut the trip short after realising that it was too hard to be on the road with two young kids.

Back in December when she first announced her plans to travel the country with her family in a van, Tammi wrote: ‘As cliché as it, all hardship can be a lesson.

‘Witnessing Ruby’s schooling challenges this year was really tough and it really hurt us to see her struggle but now in hindsight, if she had perfectly settled into school we wouldn’t have even considered home schooling or following our dreams and allowing our children this opportunity of a life time!

‘This hardship was absolutely a lesson and guidance pushing us towards the path we were meant to walk with child-led learning at my their own pace all whilst traveling our beautiful country.’

However, posting to Instagram on Wednesday night, the influencer candidly admitted that travelling with children was affecting her marriage, so they will be returning home sooner than planned.

‘Decided today to finish our trip early and head back to the sunny coast in April,’ she wrote alongside a blurry dark selfie. 

‘It’s putting too much pressure on our marriage with zero kid-free time and Sav (their youngest daughter) on the drives. I’ll cherish all of it until it ends.’ 

Tammi tied the knot to entrepreneur Jason Weller in November.

Despite the damage ‘van life’ is doing for Tammi’s marriage, she said it is really helping her eldest child Ruby, saying ‘she’s a different child’. 

‘Watching her in this moment she was so free,’ the mother wrote in the caption of a video of her daughter playing on a beach.

‘No worrying about who she will play with at school the next day, whether she will have to use the toilet, or hold it all day, whether she will have to put her hand up or if she will say or do “the wrong thing”‘. 

‘All pressure has been removed, we are following your lead girlfriend.’
