    After an incredible 3 years of living, working and traveling in our self converted Sprinter Van we’ve had to make the very tough decision to abandon our tiny home in Africa to take a rescue flight back to Canada. As it has for so, so many of us, this global pandemic has absolutely flipped our world upside down. And while quarantining was going well for us it became apparent that things would be different for a long while. When our Prime Minister announced that he was sending repatriation flights over to Africa to pick up Canadians who were stuck (due to border closures) we consulted with friends and family closest to us and realized that in this time of crisis we should be back in our home country. The gravity of what we’ve just done hasn’t quite sunk in and we ((especially me (Bec)) are having a really hard time adjusting to our new reality. Having said that we think the most important thing we can all do now is STAY HOME, keep healthy with healing foods & try to look at this as a time that we (and the planet) desperately needed to reset and realign. Sending each of you so much love throughout this time x

    Hi Eamon and Bec - don't worry it will all work out - you're back home now to ride out these times - and they will pass. Like you say a great time to reflect and it will change peoples outlook on life. We are currently self isolating in our van in Turkey. The people here have been so kind to us and even bought us extra food today. For the moment our around the world drive is on pause but most importantly we haven't lost our sense of humour !! Day 10 self isolating in the van and all good - we don't have everything we want but we do have everything we need - Keep happy, safe and positive like you always are - Chris & Marianne xx

    Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. So loved, so missed, so very dear.
    Take your time. We lost our son the same way. Not the exact same but the choosing. And to make that choice is something we don’t understand. 11 yrs later & everyone saying it gets easier, no. You just get use to carrying the pain/hurt. Probably as we are meant to after a lot of reflection, being grateful for the little things. Not understanding the choices someone else would make but learning to respect.. Understanding with help how I never had a clue until hindsight. Which will eat you up. Every single hair on your head was accounted for before you were born. The dragonfly in basement stairs got me. It’s the little things that let you know life goes on, beyond us. My heart and prayers go to her family so very much. Hang tight you two and never stop communicating.

      @@ndrose that logic and that approach to this crisis and pandemic is why the cases are still growing and why they're still people dying by the thousands every single day. You're complete lack of respect and your monumental ignorance doesn't save lives. It endangers them and takes them. They're endangering an entire continent. They decided to go drive around a whole different continent and come in contact with a whole bunch of people for months and months before they decided that they maybe should heed the warnings and make a responsible decision. But at that point that is not all responsible choice at all. They're literally endangering millions if not billions of people. I'm not exaggerating that and I'm not making those figures up they're literally being reported on by global news sources on the hour every hour. It's not my fault that you're choosing to ignore that but it's my responsibility to try to prevent you from acting so recklessly because it's literally my life and my family's life that you're endangering if you're making those kind of selfish decisions. Just because you follow somebody doesn't make them god. Obviously you should go through your list and check who you're following because these guys are extremely irresponsible, extremely destructive, and extremely ignorant. Please stay in your house. Please stay away from people. Please stop endangering everybody else's life on the entire planet.

There were planes leaving for weeks, but I guess the virus was just something other people had to worry about. Sorry to be critical. I'm a physician and it bothers me to see people taking unnecessary risks that now put others in danger. They're returning to Canada where they say they know no one - presumably someone will offer to put them up, which puts that generous soul at risk. And so it goes.

      Bug Features I did not mean ‘home’ as a physical building but ‘home’ as in the place where you have equal rights to food and healthcare. The question is where do you want to get sick (and possibly end up in hospital) and where do you want to possibly run out of food? In another country where you have little to no support or in you ‘home’ country that has a responsibility to assist you? Also, it’s one thing to get sick in for example London if you are not from there and it is a whole other thing to get sick in Africa if you are not from there - I say this as a South African...the healthcare systems in most African countries where struggling before the Coronavirus, I don’t want to know what the pandemic is going to do to them

    Pets function as "mechanical carriers", i.e. like surfaces where the virus can survive on and infect your relatives' house and potentially themselves. So don't let the dog go back and forth between you and Lee's family, and since you can't walk him out, better not to have him over at all. Since you already pet him, I would advise bathing him, washing his blankets etc and vacuuming & mopping the house as well (steaming or dry cleaning carpets etc also highly advisable). Your relatives should wash their clothes and bedding/chairs if they touched/hugged the dog after that scene

      Literally what I thought. When the dog ran up the stairs to that older woman (one of their moms, grandma?) my heart stopped and sunk, very dangerous and shouldn’t have touched the dog...

      They did it twice. Once at the airport too. Since all this has started I have been a little paranoid about people petting my dog because of that reason (My mom is someone who is considered to be "at-risk" and we live together). No, they can't get it and then spread it but just like any surface, their fur will spread the disease.

    Rewatched this after the return to Morocco vids. Lovely Lee, the voice of reason. This was so stressful to watch… including all the maskless travelling. Enjoy adjusting to life on the road once more 🫑
