ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
Jaggery is unrefined sugar. Sugar was first refined in India and prior to that we used jaggery. So, Indians have a huge sweet tooth.
And so do our kids 😜
Unrefined???? It's a natural sweet we get after boiling and stiring sugarcane juice.
Its sad to know Mumbai is your last place in this India tour, I wish u guys will come back soon and explore other places of india like LEH , LADAKH , NORTH EAST INDIAN STATES (during hornbill festival ) and explore unseen locations of INDIA.❤️🔥
We would love to come back! We’d really love to explore Kolkata and other north east areas. And we didn’t get the chance to see Goa. There’s always more to see.
@@AlwaysBeChanging so sad ur leaving without visiting south india.. plz cover south india also u will get best experience.. next time plz cover whole india... Love from India wherever u go
@@veerendrac3082 they visited kerala backwaters , in their previous videos

India is a place where dialect, culture, food, clothes, deity everythin changes in every 50 km. you have mainly visited the cities where people have become more western influenced. had you visited the smaller areas like small towns and villages you would have experienced the cultures of india and its diversity 🙏🙏
Our favorite part of our entire India trip was visiting villagers in Abhaneri. Brooklyn especially loved it.
Both the kids are so smart and matured, and the girl really has a something else in her, just loved her expression and reaction at 1:44..big prospects..
Thank you! 🤗🙏 We really love traveling with them.
Awesome India tour. Thanks for sharing your video and ADVENTURE!! Love how you includes your kids input on the food..
Btw looks like Erin wore her dress inside out with tag sticking : ))
😆 Phil is always sticking my tags back in. For some reason I struggle with that. So happy you liked that episode!
I hope you enjoying the tour of India 🇮🇳...welcome here in India 🙏
It was incredible! 👏🏼 such a diverse and culture filled country. ❤️🇮🇳
All that spices and flavors and aroma you described - is getting me hungry right now ABC fam ! Now we know why Indian cuisine is a league on this own. So many many tastes and variety!
And now you writing about how we talked about the aromas and spices is making us hungry! 😋 😆. Indian food is in a league of its own, great way to put it!
@@AlwaysBeChanging 😋😋😋
and so -
just had baked fish with all the spices i have here on hand! 😂😂
Sad to see you going away ,but there is always a next time ! All the best for your future travel and keep having fun 💗
Thank you so much!! We had a great time in India! ❤️🇮🇳 We hope to come back. We really want to go to Kolkata.
Wow you tasted a lot of spices, I think of India as spice country. The Chico that you ate brings back childhood memories, you did described it pretty good and yeah when it’s ripe it’s very sweet. About the dung, my grandma told us that our fruit trees have very sweet taste because she used dung as fertilizer.
Anyway as usual your video was very interesting 😊❤
So happy we were able to bring back good memories for you! We loved every minute in Mumbai.
your videos are very soothing and at the same time very informative!! The love and integrity you have given to your children can be clearly seen on the screens and you are two parents that should be appreciated... I watch a video of yours every day, and although it gives me a lot of pleasure, you convey very well the points that I have forgotten or skipped in the countries I have visited before. As a subscriber, I look forward to your ability to hopefully reach larger audiences and never stop your youtube career
India is Vegetarian food heaven THANK YOU VV MUCH for visit and presenting factual side of MY COUNTRY 😊
It’s our pleasure! We loved our visit and can’t wait to come back to India someday! 😊
This is definitely your spiciest episode, I could almost smell the spice mixtures coming off my computer screen. Blessings and safe travels fam.
Thank you 🙏 It was one of our favorites to film. The best food on the trip was here.
Brilliantly edited vlog! Would love y'all to visit Ladakh when you come to India again!
Thank you 🙏 there are so many other places we’d like to go back and visit. We’ll add Ladakh to the list.
Another AH-MAZING episode fam!🎉 How interesting is it that instead of going to the doctor you go to the kitchen first. Love it! I knew turmeric was good for you but didn’t realize how good.
I’ve been putting turmeric in everything now 😆. Miss you guys! Sending 🤗 and 😘
Brooklyn: "Sometimes, you scare me" LOL im new to this channel and have been BINGE watching for literally the last 24 hours. UNBELIEVABLE CONTENT! I LOVE THIS!!!
This makes us so happy 🤗 Thank you for watching us! We appreciate you 🥰
wonderful video about the legendary 120 yr old kayani restaurant from our beautiful vibrant city mumbai hope to see you soon back in mumbai with the kids in tow 😊 best wishes
We loved Mumbai so we hope we return too! Such a great city so full of culture, good people, and good food.
Fishermen community is the native of Mumbai, they used to worship goddess "Mumba" and their language is Marathi. In Marathi mother is called as Aai. These people used to call the goddess Mumba as mother so the name was Mumbai (Mumba+Aai).
When Portuguese came here, they started calling it "Bombaim" meaning the good bay. When a marriage happened between Portuguese and British Royal family, Portuguese gave this place to British as "Dowry" and British changed its name to "Bombay" which also means the good bay.
In 1995 Maharashtra state government reinstated the original name Mumbai.
The word Bombay celebrates the concept of Dowry. That's why we call it Mumbai ❤
Thank you for that additional info 👍🏻. We always love to get more details.
Oh wow 👏 being a Maharashtrian I really didn't know the Mumba + Aai connection. This is something new and interesting.
There is no evidence to suggest where the name came from, as Sopara is the only mentioned town in history, & the 7 islands do not naturally make up a city, except that the Portuguese preferred to make an island as a port.
Thank you for exploring something new here in India 😊
We loved Mumbai. Thank you for watching!
Amazing series loved it 😊 ❤
So happy to hear that! 🤩🫶 thank you 🙏
Love the “hello Nia” at the end from Brooklyn🤪Tell her Nini says hello back 👋
Yay 👏🏼😁 happy she got the message 🤗
Yay 👏🏼😁 happy she got the message 🤗
Howdy 👋🏻 y'all. You guys did Great justice to Incredible ❤️ India 🇮🇳 with your epic clogs. Brooklyn is definitely in the house 😎👍🏻🙏🏻. She's a funny kid. Colt a great knowledgeable kid regarding animals and fearless with that cobra 🐍 in Jaipur I think 🤔 it was. Hope the kids really become world citizens and compassionate. The village visit to that family was awesome 👍🏾. The people that took y'all on the food tours in Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai are so cool 😎.
I was in in India in 2019 and fell in love with the people, the Shakti, the veg food, the temple architecture and the landscapes. Keep doing your best 🙏🏻.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏🏻🥰💪🏻😎👍🏻!
Thank you so much! We hope our kids become world citizens as well. Traveling has changed us all in so many ways 🤗
Love your amazing vlog, Rejoice with your family❤❤ in the beautiful land of life, hoping to see more of your family vlogs sending love from Northeast India 🇮🇳 nagaland.
🤗 aww thank you!!! 🙏😊
Ur video is awesome , I mean I like the way u filmed nd edited it 👏.. keep it up
Thank you so much 😀
Beautifully covered.. New subscriber!! Best wishes
#2 very nice - your comment about the little stores all selling the same thing are family owned for generations,
makes me wonder about some of the shops in Cebu - row after row of small stores all selling similar items. I will
find out on my next trip in Nov. 23, my wife is going again in May - June, I will stay home.
Let us know what you find out 😊
@@AlwaysBeChanging I will do that - and maybe I can have my wife check with a few of her friends on her next visit.
You guys have a great positive vibe all of you ♥️
Thank you 🙏 we’re having a lot of fun.
Very informative, I am from Mumbai but never new this story about Shor/Chor bazar.. thanks..
Thank you!
Looking forward for your South Africa trip!
Us too!!! A safari will be a trip of a lifetime 🤗
Wow great video made my day ❤
So happy to hear that! Thank you 🙏
The name - Bombay came from the Portuguese...it translates as - Bom = good and bay :) the good bay in Portuguese...the Britishers stuck with it when they received the islands as a gift from the Portuguese!
Right 👍🏻
It’s always nice to see your videos. Come back to Mumbai and explore more because there is really much more 🎉
We will! We would also love to explore Kolkata and do a Safari at some point. It will take many trips to fully see India.
@@AlwaysBeChanging yes definitely a lot!! 😂 But would be happy to help you guys if you guys come here next!!
Kids are so smart and sassy...Love their innocent feedback.
They keep us on our toes!! 😆 thank you for appreciating their sassy sides 🙏
Another touring event with us your viewers 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for coming along with us 🤗
Hello next time you come, visit temples of India. I bet you would need a different playlist in your channel for some of the best temples in India. 😄😄😄 (ujjain temple, somnath, padmanaswamy temple which is richest religious place in the world, kornark etc etc) 😃😃 Ps - I am addicted to your vlogs. Lovely family. 🧿🧿
We visited quite a few temples while we were there - so beautiful! Here's all our India episodes in case you want to see some! ua-cam.com/play/PLURNaS9aYkmy286cjs2XPP2bBhoUc6W40.html
Mumbai.. Respect the place by it's original name.. Even people will get offended if called by any other name
Hope you enjoyed sir and mam in our city of dreams Mumbai nice blog 😊🤗👍
Thanks a ton. We ♥️d Mumbai. It was the best way to end our trip. Looking forward to exploring more of India.
21:42 *Kings Cross... not Crossing... But I'll give you a pass on that one because of the Mumbai confusion. 😂
Thanks 🙏😊
Chico!!! Grew up in the Philippines having those when in season! We don’t have any luck every time we go back for vacation, unfortunately
We’ve never come across them in PH. Maybe someday we will.
@@AlwaysBeChanging yes, they’re delicious from what I can remember from about 40 years ago 😂. I love your reference that they kinda taste like brandy was it?! Haha
Love your videos!
If ever in the UK or hyderabad in India, hit me up:)
Thanks! We flew through Hyderabad and thought it seemed like a really cool city! We hope to go back and visit.
When I saw Bun Maska and Irani Chai I remembered Jim Sarbh from Rocket Boys as Dr Bhabha.
We have some Chico’s in the Philippines too,one of my favorite fruits,a very interesting traditions in India.
“Instead of going to the doctor, you go to the kitchen first.” That is some real, great wisdom right there
We have a lot of turmeric in the house now 🤗
Ur videos are very away some still watching from germany ...... ❤❤❤
Oh wow! 🙏 thank you for watching us 😊
Very happy to see family enjoy ❤❤
We certainly did. Thank you 🙏
Holy water used by Indian,water from river Ganga and Urine from Cow we mix it with 50-50 ratio in water and sprinkle it inside our home to purify it,some people also drink this
That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙏
That sweet brown fruit, is widely known as SAPODILA … very popular in South America. Enjoy 😊 y’all
Good to know! Thanks 😊👍🏻
Great video
Thanks! 😊
Hope to see you to visit north eastern part of the country
We would love that too. Kolkata is high on our list for our next visit.
As Godess Mumba Devi situated near Masjid station , It's Name is Mumbai . British call it Bombay. But originally it is Mumbai only
The kid gives young sheldon vibe 😂. He always got an answer for everything.
Beautiful guys ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
1:35 😂😂😂😂
" Sometimes you scare me "
She’s a little comedian 😂
Watching support from philippines❤
🙏🫶❤️🇵🇭
Superb 👌
Thanks 🤗
Please add kanpur to your list !!♡♡♡
Both your children are very intelligent.❤
Thank you so much!! 🤗🤩🎉
best spices in the whole world, worlds best vegetarian foods ,super duper best Street foods..extremely care and respect for cows, our culture, and temples etc.these are our Pride 😇we are great full to have them all 😇🇮🇳❣️🤗and the the beautiful fun fact is tea..or masala tea...
Tea is not just a suger tea its our emotion ❤we Indians can't live without it 😂and also pani Puri is the most addictive food for the whole india 🤤❤...btw love you guys plz come again ..to visit more amazing places in my beautiful country 🇮🇳❣️🤗 lots of love from 🇮🇳
We will be back! Still more for us to see and do in India. We are missing the masala tea already. Every cup was so different and you could tell it’s made with care and love. Mumbai had the best food on the trip! ❤️🇮🇳
@@AlwaysBeChanging yeah 😀We look forward to your visit to India again. ❤️
husband just won't leave you alone - time 1:31 the little jewel on Brooklynns fore head is replacing the little red dot she had
before. Would the local ladies wear something like this or do they only use the red dot ?
The jewel is just more decorative. It’s called a bindi dot, or a third eye. It’s the eye that looks inside, opposed to the two that are looking out. Brooklyn loved wearing a bindi dot while we were in India.
Your children are so confident
They can start their own UA-cam channel
Thank you 😊 They each have their own channel and they work at it when they feel motivated.
Please Visit North East India Next Time. This Area is still unexplored... Lots and lots of places to visit and cultures to be immersed into.
It’s at the top of our list for when we go back!
It's always Mumbai not Bombay...🙏🏻
Mumbai is the capital of maharashtra and official language of maharashtra is Marathi ..
Videos like this are fun to watch at midnight it cures my boredom 😂
Did the kids try Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji, and Pani Puri?! If not that would be a massive injustice to their lives! I'm not even kidding this time!
They are probably India's most famous anytime snacks and are especially loved by kids! Think of them as the equivalent of what a pizza or classic pasta is to every child!
It would be unfortunate if they got full on those first 2 stops... because that food at those first 2 stops was so basic! 😅
We should be arrested for bad parenting because they WERE too full by the time we got to Vada Pav 😭 😆. But take us back because I want more of them. They were insanely delicious!!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Oh dear! Blasphemy! 😱
I think you should visit Gujarat one time
And specially in Gir Forrest The last place of Asiatic lion ❤
There are so many things we’d like to come back and do. We’ll look into Gujarat too 😊
Worlds city of dreams Mumbai from Singapore ❤️🇸🇬
Beautiful guys
Thanks so much 😊
Pav or Pao just means bread in Portuguese.
Before that only flat-breads were used.
You're in Maharashtra and don't watch forts of Maharashtra that are the most underrated places
Thanks you 🎉
Welcome 😊
Ma'am u should peel off the fruit before eating but it's okay 😃
Hopefully the skin builds character 😆 thanks for the tip 👍🏻
@@AlwaysBeChanging 😃😃😃 thank you for visiting the India 🙏🙏🙏
India is richest country in culture and huge diversity ❤
We see why! Wonderful country full of so much.
This kid is a good food critic. While I just get a feeling you eat a lot of pumpkins back in the U.S.
He has always had a very developed pallet and great descriptive words. Beyond his years! And I can’t say that he specifically has a lot of pumpkin in the US.
Cow pee makes sense for free cows in a forest like environment where all sorts of medicinal plants would be growing. Mammals are essentially you get what they feed on.
Wowww....
It's Mumbai
Yes. Phil explains the difference at the end. But we always love getting more details and insights.
Miss you, miss you, miss you TONS!
Hi!!! Miss you more!!! 🥰😭❤️
Desi cow A2 gir cow breed urine has medicinal properties even United States has granted patents for its medicinal properties, particularly as a bioenhancer and as an antibiotic, antifungal and anticancer agent.
WhatsApp expert
That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Best thing of about indian fooe..you will everything fresh from the miner things and also hot and spicy.... those who doesn't like spice and doesn't wanna add spice in their food...they are doing unfair with the food...😅😅😅 Because without spice ...you won't get original taste...😊😊😊
I agree! I love spicy food and fresh spices and herbs. We thought the food was especially great in Mumbai!
@@AlwaysBeChanging well you have visited the taj mahal but you missed lots of beautiful places of india and missed lots of ancient monuments and also beautiful akshardham temple of new delhi...😊
@@Babuji_24 AND Kolkata! We really really want to come back and go to Kolkata and other areas in Northeast India.
Mem your kids so awesome😊
Thanks a lot 🤗🤩
@@AlwaysBeChanging But who is bigger among these two
@@kaushalbhatt4217 Brooklyn is 13 month older but Colt is just a little taller.
❤❤❤❤

100k coming shortly :)
We’re pushing for it! Thanks for the support 🤗
Your daughter’s magic trick was the best 😂😂😂
Haha. She’s always trying to be so funny 😆
😂 18:30 "sauces"... at least call them curry! They are definitely not sauces! 😂 Classic Americans! 😅
Dekh rha he vinod india aane se kitne subscriber bad rhe he 🤫
140 crore log hai hum 😂😂😂
You forgot to peel the skin of Chikoo/sapodilla. 😊
I didn’t know that was common. Thanks for the tip 😊
Your daughter is so beautiful 😇
Thank you 😊
I can see pain in the girls eye when her mother kissed her...
At least your mother doesn't shout your name so that your whole street to hear...trust me your mother is next level...
U missed Amritsar golden temple.
I guess we did. We often aren’t able to film in temples though.
Your children's is cute 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🙏
Bombay is British name. Mumbai is native name
You can eat skin of Chickoo, we eat skin of Mangoo too 👍
Good to know 👍🏻 I liked it with the skin.
Cow first morning urine is known as good not after that, so if any one want it try to get it in morning time
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Xtreme food panipuri
Don't worry this video will have more than 1 million views within month
Mark me
We certainly hope so! It’s such a cool city to showcase. The best food on our trip was in Mumbai.
Bit disappointing to see that you are in Mumbai and not trying traditional Marathi food and Gujarati food. Should have looked up UA-cam videos of local Marathi restaurants that have been in Mumbai forever.
VINDALOO ALL DAY!
camel 🍖 meat foods ramzan 🌍 mast 👌😍🥰 nice gost ❤
Please visit food market Mohammed Ali road is a famous place location
You should hv tried paneer dosa. Plain one isn't good. The guide didn't made you tried great food
We thought the food in Mumbai was great! The best food on the whole trip. There was also these incredible samosas we had as soon as we arrived. We made a short with it so it’s not in the episode. Really great food in Mumbai.
3:44 Thats fake. Turmaric didn't cut anything. No clinical backing.
