French Canada. Is it worth the awkwardness?

French Canada. Is it worth the awkwardness?

We are back in Canada, in a province we’ve never been to…one that has to be seen to be believed.

Today we talk about being in the middle of nowhere with three young adults, language barriers, why Liz is walking to relax and get fit, and the ‘new trend’ (even though it’s probably years old and we’re just behind the times), gym etiquette, where posing and grunting is just NOT acceptable…
Pity.
Once you turn fifty, you’ll take any grunt that’s offered…

England. You make us miserable

England. You make us miserable

We left England 17 years ago to start a new life in New Zealand. Being British, we told ourselves that if anything went wrong, we could “always come back”. But today, we’re questioning if that would be an option.

A Year Spent Together: It’s Not The Same Anymore

A Year Spent Together: It’s Not The Same Anymore

A year ago, I was terrified of being alone.

When we started this year-long nomadic healing journey, I was convinced that if I let my family out of my sight, something terrible would happen to them; that they’d all die, and I’d be left with no one.

This was all part of grief. I know that now. But it affected not just me but also Brian and the kids.

Now, fifteen months into our journey, we share what’s changed. The fear has finally loosened its grip on my heart, and I can safely let people out of my sight without dreading them never returning.
Today, we share how we felt leaving Greece a year ago and how we feel now. The physical and mental health challenges, financial pressures, uncertainty and some pretty big challenges.

This is a very honest conversation between a husband and wife, about what this family healing journey has really done to us. And we are honoured to have you here to listen.

Thank you. So very much. All our love, Liz and Brian x

Married Life in Paradise (let us just pop that bubble for you)

Married Life in Paradise (let us just pop that bubble for you)

We’ve been living as a family (husband, wife + young adult kids) on the Greek island of Paros for 3 months.

The Greece vacation feel has worn off, and now it’s just us. Dealing with stuff.
Looking at the bins.

Because we love you, we thought we’d share that reality (and reveal where we’re off to next…Hurray!) by sharing the podcast below.
Thank you for being here, for sharing this episode with someone who’d love it too, and lastly, for rating the show.

We love and appreciate you very, very much.

Kia kaha, lovely you

The gritty truth about full time travel

The gritty truth about full time travel

❤️ Suffering from loss? I see you. Liz’s new book is here

This is one of those episodes where we need courage (or a stiff drink) to press publish. Today, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, are talking about the struggles of nomadic life.

The challenges they’re both facing when it comes to travelling full-time with a family, and what happens when you try to juggle everything, everyone and everything and end up dropping every ball and managing zilch.

Thank you for being here, for sharing the love and for leaving a comment.

We love and appreciate you.
