In reply to Jackie. Hi Jackie, London seems fine. Chef's European co workers aren't too bothered, their options are still fully open. Our Romanian knowledge tells us that most seem to go to Spain or Germany to work anyway. The only 2 British people in the kitchen ( this is a very big, very famous city 5 star hotel) are gutted. Their parents voted against them, their migrant wives and children. They feel betrayed. My own parents have 3 mixed nationality grandkids, many older people do. It's pretty sickening. There was a protest march against Brexit here yesterday which went off peacefully, the exit camp jeering at it being an anti-democracy march. London has little racism compared to the rest of the country, we voted in, I think the dramatic increase in racist and xenophobic attacks have been elsewhere. Business as usual here.

I’m a few weeks late which shows how frequently I get the chance to catch up on your blog! I’m a blog only reader, not on Facebook, and very rarely watch videos. I love both the story and factual style posts.. as I love to read your journey but also use the factual info for holiday planning and dreaming. We’re a family of 5 who spend most of our time at home but travel abroad for longer holidays. I appreciate and value all the time you take to keep us all updated, so thank you! I’m interesting in hearing how things are in London right now? We seem so removed from it all, thus far, here in Aus!

Hi Alyson
I don’t do facebook. Not a fan of videos, only because I am usually reading your blogs when I am trying to get kids to bed or in a waiting room ect. So need my ears to listen and no noise to distract. I first found your blog whilst looking for ideas of where and how to take children on holidays or trips around the world. Still find it daunting and have not been able to do much travel yet only trips within Australia. But every blog I read is like another step towards getting out there. I really enjoy reading your blogs. I find them refreshingly honest. I love that you tell us your bad days as well as your good days. Thanks again Renay

Hi there, Alyson!
I have followed you at different times on all forms of social media. 🙂

I’m now getting back to your blog, after reading about your prep & 1st two years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your stories about what is happening with your family in any given location more than the tips……but I absolutely, ALWAYS make note of them for when I can wedge us out into long-term travel.

I also love your real-life feedback on how HS is working while traveling. I’ve learned so much from those asides you include in your posts. I also have an 8.5 yr old minecrafter. She’s taking programming this year. And she’s ready to start making videos…which I know nothing about. We’re going to follow D’s site.

Now, I primarily follow you on IG, as I don’t spend much time on FB but will be adding Chef to my snapchat. I LOVE YOUR CANDID PICTURES. Your pictures and stories are a winning combo. I will click on a vid to watch but I tend to skim through the longer ones on other sites (what is wrong with me?). I’ve started getting into vlogs…

I basically enjoy all that you publish…in all forms. Can’t wait to see where you guys land next….and best wishes to you on whatever medical issue you’re dealing with. Hope that is quickly resolved.

In reply to Kym. Chef has quit blogging Kym, he's left Facebook too. Right now he's training for an Iron Man, that takes most of his time. But he does do all our snapchat. You can watch him there if you sign up to follow World Travel Fam. He was out snapchatting the bunnies last night, yesterday pigs. He likes things that don't take too much effort!
