Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

A teacher and her family’s journey to live abroad and find adventure and purpose

My name is April Peavey. I’ve been an elementary teacher for 12 years. After living in Kansas for many years, my family decided to shake things up and move to Africa. Now we are at it again, moving to The Netherlands. Follow my family’s journey to make our wildest dreams come true!

About Us

Here’s us! Justin is my amazing husband, also a teacher looking to shake things up. We have two children- Teddy is 12 years old. He is empathetic, creative, and full of energy. Penelope is 9 years old. She can usually be found singing or dancing and changes her outfit about 5 times a day. They keep us on our toes and we are hopeful to broaden their horizons and give them a life full of rich experiences.

Where Are We Going?

In December, 2019, my husband and I accepted positions teaching in Tunisia! We lived in North Africa, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about an hour away from Italy. After 2 years in Tunisia, we returned to Kansas with many new friends and memories. Now, in 2024, my husband has accepted a job in The Netherlands, so here we go again with a big move!
