Health on the Road: 13 months with 4 kids

Before we left to travel the world with our four children we were very conscious of what food and what kind of environment we were living in. Our health shift came during our 5 year old nephews battle against Leukemia …

We are a family of 6 who are travelling the world sharing our sense of adventure with our children. Today 'Home', is where ever we are together as a family. We have 4 children aged from 5 to 13. We are aspiring to do awesome things together to learn and to be better than we were yesterday. From road trips around Europe and New Zealand to camping in North America, house sitting in the United Kingdom and catching Tuk Tuks in Asia, these are our adventures we want to share. We are currently in Perth, Australia.

I can't scoop up the feeling I have of being with family and friends in New Zealand with people I care for and I know care for me. I can't bag the feeling on a camera I had when my feet were cold and I asked my sister to sit on them so they would be warm just so I could have a quick comfortable nap. I know she came to talk to me but I was just tired. The picture would mean little to you but I would probably try to capture them anyway. You would look at the…
We've been called Rolling Stones more than once in our lives. The truth is I love stability. I love it not in myself but in the world around me. I love that huMan behaviour is predictable. Love, fear, jealously, envy. I love that people want to buy a house and settle down and are happy to work a job for their lifetime. That a child wants to follow in their parents footsteps. I love that. I love that in the distant and near future I can visit these people and know that they are happy. What I know is that…
The last time we went on a date night together was in Vietnam , Ho Chi Minh city, almost 2 years ago and we ate at Swenson (ice cream parlour) we had a mean hold out on the rest of the family because we were suppose to be on a budget, the ice cream was so nice because we dont have much sugar when we travel, then we left the ice cream parlour and bought some street food from a lady on the sidewalk for the rest of the family. Boom . We do what we can with the time…
Melaka in a photo. Photo with a story. A couple of Buddhist monks and some Malaysian Muslim women and Sri Lankan tourist hanging out at the Portuguese red square, standing next to a Christian chapel built in 1763 by the Dutch conquerors with a roman style fountain built in 1905 by the British for the queen who died. Meanwhile in the background a Saudi film crew is filming the Indian food stalls for Sadi airlines while we are sipping from Thai coconuts watching the Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year as they ride past on the pimped out rickshaws blasting Hindi…
Melaka was once a major port on the Silk Road. The world traders came here to buy things like cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and later on rubber, tea and tobacco. It's also the reason why you have so many beautiful looking people because many of the ships crews jumped from their ships and never returned to their homes. The Portuguese settled here, 500ish years ago, the Chinese arrived here without women because the emperor wouldn't allow females to travel so they married the Malays. The Dutch rolled in later and made some dope stuff. Some Indians jumped off their boats and…
The Portuguese settled here, 500ish years ago, the Chinese arrived here without women because the emperor wouldn't allow females to travel so they married the Malays. The Dutch rolled in later and made some dope stuff. Some Indians jumped off their boats and made some cool Indian stuff and then the British came and made some cool London looking stuff. And then they had a big dance party and married each other but they wanted some churches, and mosques, Hindi and Buddhist and Taoist temples and stuff so they could all get married and then they swapped recipes and stuff........…
Weird wonderful and whacky street love mixed with some Pokémon gangsta rap..... if your thinking about taking a nice stroll around the state of Melaka's 15th century Portuguese settlement in Malaysia this isn't the way to do it...... but if you do want to take the crew for a somewhat festive boogie ride in a non traditional rickshaw fitted with its own 2000w speaker and amp and don't want them to fall asleep in the humidity of the day this will do it....... well worth the smiles following them on my girly bike - because tall man bikes cost more…

Street art on tap made even more original because number 4 is always up for a pose. I'm going to let lose on the Penang street art pics for the next few posts, so if you get sick of seeing them in your feed you could always go watch TV for a few hours. #travel #penang #penangstreetart #streetart #malaysia #family

Let's make this one at our home dad and then some people can come and take photos of it and then we have some dinner with them........ ahh, yep, stick figures aren't cool though....... a real ideas man he is. #travel #malaysia #penang #penangstreetart #family
I grew up around farm animals but I'm an unapologetic apathetic animal individual. That being said this photo is going out to all my mates who have gone all out to love animals and / or not eat that lamb (or any other animal) on the day of celebration. Power to you. I'm sure I will join you all one day. Especially if it helps me keep up with the young pup @athomewithnelson @sheena .marie_x @alicecotton @raw_food_girl #penangstreetart #penang #malaysia #travel

Perhaps the reason why I never valued art as a youngster was that the art I appreciated was not yet created. Perhaps it was because I didnt like the thought of going to a marae (the only gallery I knew) because it was a reminder to me of death. I loved the bone and wood carvings of my cultural heritage but I could never relate to the art work found in the louvre. France, Paris!!! That stuff was so far removed from my home town of Tokoroa. How can a kid so far removed from something ever relate to it…
