Empowering Families to Travel Long-Term: A Conversation with Mauro Repacci, CEO of Boundless Life

Empowering Families to Travel Long-Term: A Conversation with Mauro Repacci, CEO of Boundless Life

How modern families are redefining education, work and community through intentional mobility

In this compelling interview, Portugal-based listeners of Podcast Portugal will discover how the concept of family life on the move has matured into a holistic lifestyle. Mauro Repacci shares his vision behind Boundless Life: enabling families to travel long-term without sacrificing career momentum, children’s education or a sense of belonging

We begin by unpacking the core challenge that sparked the company’s founding: as Repacci observed during lockdowns, many families found the traditional cycle of office-work plus school plus fixed location lacking in flexibility and meaningful connection.

From that insight, Boundless Life developed a three-part model:

  • Thoughtfully designed homes in destinations around the world where families can live, while still being able to work remotely and connect. 

  • A tailored education system, crafted for children of families on the move, so travel does not disrupt learning but becomes an extension of it.

  • Vibrant community and coworking hubs, which ensure parents are not isolated, children form friendships and culture is experienced together rather than as tourists. 

We also discuss how the idea of family travel has evolved—as Repacci says, it’s not just about taking the kids on holiday, but integrating work, life, education and new experiences into a seamless, long-term rhythm. 

Key take-aways for families include:

  • How to evaluate and choose destinations that support remote-work infrastructure, safe family-friendly housing and meaningful local culture.

  • The importance of planning for visas, education continuity and community support when moving as a family.

  • Tips on shifting mindset: viewing travel not as a break, but as a lifestyle that blends purpose, learning and connection.

  • Why community matters: making connections with other like-minded families, sharing routines and creating a sense of belonging far from “home”.

Whether you’re a parent exploring long-term travel with children, a remote-working professional considering mobility, or simply curious about how families are redefining the future of work and home—this episode delivers tangible inspiration and actionable ideas.

Tune in to learn from one family’s bold leap and how many others are now following, making every destination a classroom, every coworking space a common ground, and travel itself a way of life.
