Thanks for commenting Alyson! I hope we break free again soon too, be it physically or just mentally ;-) How did you like Sri Lanka? The spicey food there was really challenging for our 2,5 year old, but we really liked the people and nature. A base camp someplace nice sounds like a great idea!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, I&#039;m new here. I just came to see how you were adapting. We&#039;ve been away from &quot;home&#039; almost 3 years now, but we now have a &quot;base camp&quot; in Romania. We&#039;ve just done 2.5 months in SriLanka, Nepal and Dubai and arrived back in base camp about a week ago. Like you, mixed feelings. The first day or so I always have crushing depression, particularly if I&#039;ve just left somewhere I truly love, like Nepal, but I&#039;ve settled in again now. We&#039;re just busy, all the house work is manual here, no washing machine, a wood fire to cook on, no other heating, but life is very rewarding when you have lots of hard work. We&#039;re enjoying spring flowers and new lambs and cracking on with the blogging( 6 blogs!) and educating the kids. Life has seasons. I hope you break free again soon!]]></description>

Thank you for commenting Dominique! I found it so much easier to adjust to being on the road than to being back in my &#039;old&#039; life! I guess it would be the same even if you settle somewhere else for a longer period, but it just seems so much more difficult because I really don&#039;t like winter. It&#039;s super hard to hold on to the &#039;simple&#039; life and the freedom we had while traveling. But, like I said, for us there really are a lot of good things about being &#039;home&#039; too. Curious to see how you guys will handle being back! With kids that are a bit older, I think the transition might be even harder. Don&#039;t think about it too much though and enjoy every second of your final three months of travel!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for sharing. We are in month 9 out of a 12 months family sabbatical. I&#039;m originally Dutch and I hear from my Mom about the cold weather so I empathize. Our home now is Silicon Valley, California. I am not worried about returning to bad weather (we have a perfect climate) but super worried about going back to restrictions, obligations and &quot;stuff&quot;. Silicon Valley is workaholic central with everybody trying to be the next Mark Zuckerberg. I worry how we will be able to hold onto the &quot;simple life&quot;, the balance, the time we spent together, and the freedom our kids enjoy both on the road and during our time in Israel. If you learn anything from re-entry, please continue to share!]]></description>

Haha, I was trying to be positive! If I&#039;d written that same post a month ago the &#039;bad&#039; list would have been much longer. And like you say, the bad things have A LOT more weight. It&#039;s definitely not easy being back, but we&#039;re slowly finding a new balance. Life in Holland really isn&#039;t bad, it&#039;s just isn&#039;t what we want right now. Hopefully by spending some time here now we can find new ways to leave again ;-)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m surprised to see more good than bad things, but can imagine the bad have more &quot;weight&quot; ;) Once again it&#039;s proven that kids are so flexible with your little man being happy back home and being happy on the road too :)  Goodluck trying to find a good balance for things!]]></description>
