Today, we come from Paros, Greece (one of our favourite places on earth) with an overdue catch-up and update.
On everything.
And a few stories thrown in for good measure.
You can listen to the audio podcast here, or if you prefer, you can watch the video version on YouTube.

Brian and Liz are back in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for the fourth time.
Why do they keep coming back? Because it seals their empty gaps. Fills their tired tanks.
Because they feel like emotionally intelligent adults. A grown-up husband and wife couple, instead of silly old mum and dad, who are old and decrepit and know nothing, but still have to pay for everything anyway.
If ever you are in need of some you time, Thailand is the place.
Here’s why.
With all our love and gratitude from a stitched up, shaved off, pummelled, therapy loving, still bickering

Brian and Liz are back in New Zealand. They have rented their rural lifestyle property for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world.
The new tenants take over in ten days. But before this can happen, there are many, many, many (tons actually) of things to attend to.
Both in and out of the house.
Ten hard, sloggy emotional days later, we are on our way back to the airport to fly away from NZ.
But we couldn’t possibly leave without sharing exactly what the experience has been like.
So we pulled over to record this podcast. It’s a bit weird. It’s dark, and we can hardly stay awake.
But we’re here. Just about.
This is what it looks like when you have an effing huge mountain to climb and rely on the endless love and support you have for each other.
With all our love and gratitude from inside a dark car somewhere on The Forgotten World Highway in Taranaki, New Zealand

We’re in London. Where our 21-year-old daughter (now) desperately wants to live.
I can relate.
30 years ago, two Cornish country bumpkins (Brian and I) moved to London from the south of England.
We lasted 6 months before leaving.
Now, our British/Kiwi daughter has decided to do the same. She wants to stop travelling full-time with her family and live in London on her own.
So we are here to settle her in.
London has changed. It is not what we thought. Here are some big changes that shocked us. So much so, we decided to walk through the East End of London and share them with you.
‘Cause you’re the best and we bladdy lav ya.

Brian and Liz, husband and wife, have rented their New Zealand home for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world.
Last week, we shared an awkward (but real) conversation about our conflicting opinions on whether we should return home to New Zealand to do the handover.
We finally reached a decision, and today we want to share it with you.
With all our love and gratitude from BC, Canada,
Kia Kaha,

We held off sharing this episode.
It’s one of those uncomfortable (but real) conversations that married couples have when they need to get something sorted, but they can’t seem to agree. These conversations usually happen in private. But. We strive to keep things real and remain honest with you on this podcast. So here we are.
Awkwardness and all.
Thank you for being part of this community. Of this journey. For making us feel brave enough to share not just the ups and the laughs and the funny stories, but the downs, the tears and the sweaty-palmed conversations.
Conversations like this one. We love you for it ❤️

I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
