It's like asking a mother to choose between her children. hahah. nice comparison. it is true for until you haven't seen all of the world, you really can't tell which is the best one. i love item 6.

Since February 2006, we've been travelling around the world. We've spend most of the last three years in Europe. Now we're spending six months in New Zealand -- our home -- before heading off to South America. There's too much world and not enough time! While we've been on the road, we've built up an award-winning multimedia travel website, so -- like Gary, who I chat to often -- we're doing something right :) We started travelling a year before Gary.

When in italy, I was fascinated by how trendy the stores were. It was like eating in fine dining. Like Gary, I eat mcdonalds for the same reason.

I don't think one has to get bored with traveling, Sarah. We have been traveling as a family since 2006, been to 4 continents & 29 continents so far & over 76,000 miles ( mostly over land) & have had over 2.5 million views of our Youtube videos. We feel like we have just gotten started and find it an ideal life of freedom! I think the key to extended world travel is slow travel and deep immersion. We enjoy the photography, doing videos and documenting our journey and connecting with others through social media like Twitter & Facebook. We have not been lonely, bored or homesick once! Today, one can school and work anywhere & we were surprised to learn that we travel the real world as we travel the web3.0 world and that adds a special aspect that one did not have in the past. My daughter can immerse deeply with one culture while maintaining her home culture & talking to grandparents & friends on free webcam skype calls. She even does her piano lessons over the web with a teacher on another continent! The more we do this, the more I see it as an ideal life & why 70% of families dream of doing it. More people are doing it than ever today & I think that will just continue as it is easier, cheaper & more enriching than most people realize. We actually travel the world & live large on much less than we could by living at home. Education is also in the midst of a huge change & we have met so many innovators in that area as well. This was one of our main reasons for taking our open ended world tour. We have found that there is not a better way to educate a global citizen of the 21st century! Great interview!
