    Hey guys. While we all love watching your adventures, if you miss an episode here and there no one is going to mind. Don’t let the UA-cam situation wreck your life. Have fun, relax and enjoy your time on the road. Good luck 😊😊😊

      Fully agree and I have no idea how you two held your family together with three young children on the road. The city snowflakes have no idea of the concept that you guys so stay strong and you’ll come out the other side and raring to go going forward. Good luck to your family teaching your children life lessons.

    This is what an Adult conversation looks like, Self-reflective, understanding and working to improve. No relationship is easy, i can imagine being stuck in a truck most of the time would aid in that. Good on you both, glad to see people being open and honest. 1+ Sub.

    Please don't feel pressured to post on the socials or do weekly UA-cam updates. We were two adults with no kids or dogs (or social media commitments) and travel fatigue is a thing (not that there's much sympathy from family and friends at home). Enjoy your precious boys and your time together on the road. We'll all be here waiting and being 100% patient until you do ❤

    Hey guys, gosh your episode this week really hit home hard. Parenting 3 young kids is hard enough let alone being in confided spaces, broken sleep and no one but yourselves plus filming, editing and socials. Thankyou for speaking openly and being honest about the realities of life with kids. It’s really hard. My heart broke seeing you both share, I was feeling your struggles. So so happy you guys were able to switch off and recharge (if only for a moment). Stepping back from the tube will do wonders. I will cherish each video you put up🥰 for now take the time you need and know we support you either way! Xx

Don’t put yourselves into a dry gully you can’t get out of. Right now my wife and I are also traveling full time.

    Hi Elena & Nick,
    I think that is your biggest challenge while full time travelling, having no “me time” and date nights and general timeouts. I am so glad you had a wonderful time cruising and Elena’s parents looked after the boys. You have to look after yourselves first and foremost, don’t stress about putting a video out every week, as much as we love seeing them.
    I can’t get over happy little Ollie is all the time, such an adorable smile, love him and watching Finn & Lennox interact with each other is marvelous. You guys are doing a fantastic job as parents, we love watching your boys, and you guys.
    We look forward to where your next journey takes you…
    Cheers

I'm new to your channel and have been enjoying flicking through your videos. We have got some great ideas for camping in the East (we are from the West) when we head there in 7 weeks time. Some great places around the midwest (where we are from) include Greenhead, Milligan Island, Knobby Head, Wedge Island, Grey and Lesueur National Park at Karda Campground. Enjoy the wind, it keeps the flies away!!

    Geesus guys that was a scary thumbnail but we do understand your deal as us being long term travelers over many years and WE didn't have to deal with three lovely but active young kids so we sort of understand the workload you face.
    Friday nights tea for us would never be the same but your happiness and mental health is more important than 30 minutes of the best entertainment on the box for us.
    Being avid camper/caravaners we have watched a lot of camping channels and there are many but for many months now yours is the only one that has our subscription.
    Whatever your decision we support it, from you know who.

    Talk about keeping it real …. I can’t imagine doing what you’re doing with 3 little kids … we have a motor home and went for 5 weeks on our own and we loved it … unfortunately our little cat hates being in the motorhome when it’s going so we can’t take her with us … not even for a weekend, plus … after our little trip, hubby had a heart attack so now the MH is on the market. Wish we had done it a long time ago when we were younger. Hats off to you both for giving your kids such a unique experience and I wish you all the best … don’t get disheartened, you did the best thing you could have done, taking a leisurely cruise and chilling out. There’s obviously a whole lot of love in your truck and you two know how to keep it alive. Good on you 👏

    Hi guys thanks for the update, please take breaks from YT when needed. People following the channel understand life’s not always “peaches & cream”, especially with 3 little tykes under 4. Unsure if you’ve created any “ YT shorts”, but that may help you along the way to take some of yr “time back”. Take care & safe travels.

    We have been part of your family for ages , excited at seeing a new episode , followed your informative journey and loved the kids participating in adventures. We noticed some time ago that you were jaded so the decision to take a break fits with all your viewers . You owe us nothing - but you owe yourself rest time . Will miss the chaotic cooking segments and sometimes blackened end mess , but alas eaten charcoal went to new levels . Love to all Malc and Jan - Echuca Vic.

    We are a nana and pop of 4 grand children from 9 weeks to 8 years across two families and know full well it takes a village to raise a family. You have 3 in one family in a caravan. That has to be the hardest time you. What a fantastic experience and memories you are making for your family ever day. Hats off to your nana n pop for jumping when needed to give you the break and refocus when much required. In the end you have created wonderful adventures and memories. Christmas is coming, a time to take a break to be with family. You do the same as all other families Cheer, Merry Xmas. We love you guys.

    Love your content guys and the fact you took time out for you. You can’t be good parents if you aren’t taking care of yourself too.
    It’s a challenge to recognise when to take those breaks and even admit you need them. It’s great to share the real stuff as well as the highlights. Can highly recommend cruising for families too. The kids have a ball at the daycare they have and you can spend time together too without having to decide what to cook for dinner 😂
    To be honest we don’t have time to watch an episode every week so we get to them when we can so please don’t feel that pressure is there for weekly. Love your stuff guys. Hope to meet you on the road sometime.

    Congrats on your break, it is well deserved and to be honest the boys probably enjoyed a break from you as well (talking from a mother’s perspective). They would have loved time with nan n pop. I loved nan did cooking with them, your way. Can I ask did your mum burn it 😂😂😂 ❤

    Safe travels to WA and if you are close to Perth would be great to say hi.

    Elena and Nick you are absolutely our favourite family to watch and we hang out for your episodes each week. BUT we would rather see you guys step back and do less UA-cam episodes than none at all. In saying that, you have to do what is best for your little family. You definitely need to ‘book in’ holidays away from the camera and editing! Hopefully when you make it to WA, you can make some family time to explore our beautiful state as there is so much to do here! We are so biased because we think West is Best!! ❤😊

    @Journey_and_Destination 9 місяців тому +1

    Hi guys, many thanks for your upfront openness, it makes watching your videos so good. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to make a suggestion. I have experienced burnout as well and the cause of it was long busy days and then working late at night. The cure was to work during the day only and always make sure I had something fun to look forward to every evening. You mentioned how much you're on the go all day. You get the kids to bed about 8pm and only then you start your editing work, just when you should be slowing down, relaxing and getting ready for bed. I suggest making time one day a week to do all your editing work during the day, not at night. Try to get the editing for each episode done in one day. Evenings are for relaxing. Just my thoughts. My wife and I would be so sad to see you disappear off UA-cam. Regards, Paul.
