So It’s been 6 Months – Have We Learnt Anything?

What an amazing first six months you've had!! Here's to six more months... and six more after that! Who knows what you'll have learnt by then!

Sounds like some good lessons learned! Here's to many more. We're only about a month into our traveling and it's great so far!

lovely what a great read xx

Isn't it true...the more you see, the more you realize there is to see?! It's kind of mind-boggling...and then you tie that in with your thankfulness for God's creations...and it's like WOW. BAM!! Look at this amazing world we've been given...I feel like I'm showing respect and appreciation for it by valuing it all, and wanting to see more of it!

Yes! I love your lessons learnt. Travel is great for bringing copious amounts of "wonder and amazement" into my life as well. :) You guys have done so much in your fist six months!

Wow, such a long list. How amazing that your kids have learnt so much in such a short period of time! Jealous that I'm missing the lantern festival!

What a beautiful post! I love your points about you having learned that home is where you are - funny, I always talk about our kids having learned that but I've never considered that we've also learned that too! And that life was not made to be busy. You are so right. It sounds like you have all learned so much in that time. Daycare in Asia really does hone those 'colouring between the lines' skills doesn't it! You've certainly made me miss Asia and Penang with all your talk of eating out, swimming pools and cleaners for a third of the price.

So beautiful and so blessed you all are! I love that have a life with your family in where you don't feel the need to have to be constructive or busy all the time. The Western way of life and our society makes you feel guilty if you are not constantly working. Reading your story makes me want to pursue your way of life even more now!

Erin, as I read your post I am amazed by how much we have learned. The collective we. The families who choose to travel with their kids. The lifestyle is not easy, but so rewarding. And I am reminded about why we chose the lifestyle. Much like you and Josh, this journey has enabled Renee and me to spend more time together and learn more about each other. Besides our journey through the world, it has also been a journey with each other. And knowing my daughter, day-to-day as she grows up, is important to me as a father. Spending 8+ hours at an office doesn't let that happen. Good luck to you guys. Keep the faith.

Wonderful post! I think you and the kids have learned so much more and will continue to do so. I am so proud of you for the realizations you have come to and for the courage to try new things and new ways of being. I can't wait to see what the next yer brings you!

Curious as you mention your belief system a lot, what has your take been on seeing and learning about other religions whose followers feel the same draw and admiration for it as you do of yours? That must be an interesting thing to view!

This is my fave blog so far! Beautifully written! So proud of you sis and josh and the kids! Missing you lots but my time will come to visit! You are inspirational! xxx
