In today’s video, Matthew’s mother (who was our surrogate) finally reunites with her granddaughter Uma. This video is the second half of an episode we’ve called “Baby (Grand)Mama”. After our unconventional IVF/surrogacy journey, we explore how things have changed since our daughter was born. We also dive into how our family dynamics and how life has shifted for our close-knit village since we’ve begun full time travel / living off the grid.

WHO WE ARE: We are the Dürt family, a minimalist, full-time travel family consisting of Matthew, Elliot, and Uma. We are currently camping throughout the U.S. before heading abroad. We hope to connect with communities, and to explore new (and old) ways of living on this planet through cultivating and stewarding a reciprocal relationship with this sacred Earth. All of this while we intentionally raise and unschool our daughter.
