we are home from the gorgeous island of Gozo, off the coast of Malta...
we are home...& loving our life as momentary-part-time gypsies even more...
as i continue to rave...*there is nothing like the gift of travel for one's children*...
again...we fell in love with a new country...
again...we fell in love with a new culture...
again...our children learnt about the world & embraced differences & experiences as they always do...
there is nothing to compare to these moments...
when we first moved to the english countryside from the beaches of sydney, we thought about holidays in quite a different light...
as holidays perhaps more than life shaping travel experiences?
maybe we have just learnt to holiday differently?
our three years of travelling here, has impacted our kids in a way we didn't realise it would...
we've not seen a kid's club...or a tour leaflet...
just us & them...& experiencing as much of *this side of the world* as we possibly can...
all i can say to any of you thinking...contemplating a life change...
some time abroad...moving around with children...do it...grab the moment...embrace the change...
all the tiny moments of worry...stress...doubt...difficulty- & yes these are part of any life in any place-
all of these things pale into insignificance in comparison to the big moments of life...experience &
memory making...
our time away from *our gorgeous Australia* has impacted us in ways we could never have hoped for
...& we feel more than blessed...
life...travelling...love
