The Verdict. Back to New Zealand. Or Not.

The Verdict. Back to New Zealand. Or Not.

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,

Return to New Zealand. Or Not.

Return to New Zealand. Or Not.

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 ❤️

Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here’s What Happened Last Night

Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here’s What Happened Last Night

Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy. 

We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London.

Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and talk to our kids separately. To find out what’s going on and ask how they feel.

Our results were poles apart.

Here’s what happened.

We love you. Thank you for your gorgeous support.

When Home Hurts More Than it Heals

When Home Hurts More Than it Heals

Brian, Liz and their two adult kids are house-sitting in British Columbia, Canada, for three months.

Last week, they received a comment on their YouTube channel asking, “Where do you call home? ”

Today, they take you for a walk around their temporary Canadian neighbourhood and share their unscripted, vulnerable thoughts and feelings about Canada, New Zealand, leaving their kids, healing, and… a few other things I won’t write here.

Thank you. We love you, and we appreciate you more than you can imagine. Please don’t forget to subscribe and say hi in the comments ❤️
