Hi Tae, thank you. Sorry I’ve not been doing the emails much lately, things have been difficult. Best wishes to you and yours.

Super happy that you were able to find a school that meets everyone’s needs. COVID has sort of forced me (which is good, I had been scared) into the life I wanted, being able to work from home, with the kids attending virtual academy through their “home school”.

I appreciate all your honesty in your stories. I can’t wait to see how things are after things are opened up. Maybe soon, I will finally have a blog or youtube started!

Thank you again!
Tae Arnold

Hi Gerry. Thanks for your kind words and the very best for your planned retirement in Thailand. Maybe we’ll run into you there one day once we’re all free to move again.

I love travelling, but have never had the courage to live life the way you and your family do. Your level headed approach to all things, and the complete honesty you exhibit in this blog will undoubtedly be of great help to anyone considering what is a massive commitment to a different lifestyle.

Alas, too late for me, as i am now in my late 60’s, but I have every intention of retiring to Thailand in a couple of years, based mainly on what I’ve learned/seen from bloggers/vloggers like yourselves.

Happy travelling… when things eventually get back to normal(ish)

Everyone I know personally who was on the road when lockdown hit, stayed on the road. They stayed put wherever they were and are mostly now able to travel within the countries they found themselves in. Everyone is waiting for borders to re-open. One family I know spent lockdown in Canada and have now been able to book flights to Greece. Some are coming up against the end of extended visas due to Covid and so have a problem. Some countries are fully open, I believe Slovenia and Croatia are, Egypt is. A lot of digital nomads are heading to these countries as visa problems force them to move. It was absolutely by chance that we were “home” when this started, and honestly, I’d much rather be stuck in Vietnam that on a very big island that won’t let us out. I know several nomadic families who are still in Vietnam and enjoying their time there, but they need to move on. So many only have a year, they don’t want to spend all of that year in one country. These are interesting times indeed. We can’t do anything until Australia lets us out. We also can’t do anything until our shredded income is repaired. I’m working hard on that, diversifying. But the travel traffic is coming back up strongly now, we’re seeing planning, movement, and bookings. It gives us cause for optimism.
