I have traveled to Italy and Greece many times over. Then I went to Turkey and was so impressed by the people and their culture. They are friendly , hospitable and make you feel welcomed to their beautiful country

[@orkuntasc5159]

We love you very much. We know that the decision you made was difficult. We want you to know that we love you while making these videos. Do not doubt yourself. You wanted to make sense of your life and you are succeeding. You achieve things that most people can't. This is your family's difference. We love you very much, our support is always with you. You are good parents. Your children are very lucky, they will understand this even better when they grow up. Sometimes you may not be able to shoot videos, that's okay, you don't always have to shoot videos. Listen to your head a little, you can shoot when you have fun. We are here and will always be watching you. FROM TURKEY :)

life is not about work, home and working on the system. You are doing the right thing.

[@ladymc2021]

You guys are amazing for being so transparent and your family is such a blessing to me hearing the reality is a really big deal and I so am glad you are showing the "real" side of things, but you guys do need to just be a family and rest and take time off for sure, because you know what? You are HUMAN! That is reality of burn out and honestly you need that personal time off to recover just like any job. It is also cool that you can turn around and do that at any time - why? Cause you have no boss's breathing down your neck to say you only have specific amount of time off - the beauty of this is the freedom to do "what you want to do it and when you want to do it" without anyone telling you guys differently. That is why this entire world wants to do what you do I believe cause we all want and thirst for that same exact freedom. This is the difference between us day to day workers with boses and you guys not having to worry about that. ;) You are awesome! Keep on inspiring and keeping on! You have totally convinced me to go to Turkey one day 😁

Thank you so much for visiting Turkey and showing the parts you loved to the whole world! I'm so glad you liked it in here and can't wait to see you experiencing other locations around the world!! Much love and support

[@merrillmixer1190]

Thank you for sharing this. You have expressed and shared these thoughts a few times now. I know how true it is from our own experiences from full time travel for a couple years (off and on) and while we love it - it is very hard. (We don't have the added responsibility of doing it with children because we are older. My grand daughters are about the same ages of your girls and I know that hugs can quickly turn into fights.) Yes! The planning, the absence of church, family and friends, always learning a new place and culture, the confusion - is hard. We all make choices and sacrifices in life and no place or situation is perfect whether it's "home" or on the road. The reality I've discovered is MOST full time travelers burn out and find they need to slow down and eventually find a "home base." We started traveling lots slower - sandwiching month-long stays in once location by quick bursts of travel. We recently settled down again in a new home base near family after selling everything to travel - not once, but twice. I've been binge-watching from the beginning (and enjoying) your videos, but I know you have since decided to base yourselves in Italy. I always tell people, Nothing has to be forever. Travel or live in one place until it's no longer fun or what you want to do. I think you've given Alexa and Chloe a wonderful gift of travel and even more importantly is the gift of your time while traveling together. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are inspiring.

[@BirKadinim]

We’re full of admiration for you guys! Parenting is the hardest job on earth. You are giving your beautiful children a wonderful education and insight into other cultures. What better country than Turkey? Been travelling around Turkey since 1987 so it’s lovely to see many of the places we’ve been in your videos! Keep up the good work. Look after yourselves too. It’s v important x

[@sumeyyeduman5781]

What do you think about Turkey. Where in Turkey would you like to go?

[@davebuckholts]

My little sister was born in Izmir! You two are giving your girls such an education. They will benefit from your travels for the rest of their lives. Parenting is hard no matter where you are. BUT, it also is the best and most important thing that you will ever do. My Father was in the USAF and we (4 kids) were raised all over the world. The experience is one that forever shaped my (our) feelings about different cultures and people in a good way. Best wishes to you two and your girls.

[@beknic8872]

I’m so happy you went to Izmir. I miss it so much. The food was such an experience along with the culture. Sitting back on the beach with my family eating midye dolmas 🤤🤤🤤. And I fully understand the travelling, my family fell ill and I left Izmir after a few years. That one decision tore my Turkish family apart and whilst I don’t regret coming back home to Australia, it’s still a heartache I’ll never recover from by leaving turkey. I’m so glad to have you and being able to reminisce my 2nd home ❤️

you gave your daughters the greatest gift ever,,,they will treasure those days and will move on with the gift ,,well done.

[@wendynancybeasleybrooks4546]

Very, very hard things are sometimes the very, very best things. That's when patience, endurance, and keeping our eyes "on the prize" are especially important. Giving birth, for example! We homeschooled 5 kids over the course of 23 years. Sometimes it was SO hard, and I felt like I had no one to talk to, because the easy solution/advice we got was, "well, you don't HAVE to homeschool--just put them in school, go get a job, and everything will be fine! " But we knew we were doing what was best for our family, so we dug in and persevered through good times and hard times. Today my "baby" is almost 21, and I can honestly say I have no regrets. And neither will you! Keep going! You're doing the right thing. And your girls will thank you for investing in them. God bless you abundantly!

[@rodeotr1]

I was going to suggest you do a tour of black sea region of Turkey but seeing how exhausted you are, it would be cruel :) Thanks for this series. I'm really grateful of the effort you've put. It's been an awesome journey. I'm stoked for the next series.

[@ogunkovan]

the people in black sea region want to be arabs and have an arabic culture so badly. so why dont you suggest arabs to buy more lands in your region to accelerate arabization of there? like you can try to destroy more forests for more arabic tourists? or you can completely get rid of latin alphabet since a lot of wannabe people like to use arabic letters in signs?

[@rodeotr1]

Hi! Raising Voyagers, What you're doing is a huge decision. Many people don't sell their entire possessions and leave their friends and family behind and go to the ends of the earth. So I can understand your upset. You are a very brave family. But remember, you are living life while many people are wasting their lives. I wish I had the opportunity, I would dedicate myself to seeing the beauties of the world all my life. Always try to enjoy. May all the blessings of God be with you.💙🌸🧚🏻‍♀️

[@zyxwut]

First of all thanks for all of the videos and your kind comments about the Turkey. I really appreciate your effort for chasing your passion while trying hard for parenting. I can honestly say that nothing good can be earned without some sacrifice, even for dirty money you need to give away something from your soul. This experience that you have is unique for you and nothing lesser for your daughters. They are being raised on the roads with challenges, on the other hand they have the chance of meeting with new cultures almost every week. This long trip of yours will broaden their perspective a lot about being a "human" and they will have a unique personality like the experience that you are having right now. This kind of a life choice takes too much courage and congratulations for making it. I wish you a healthy and joyful adventures in the future. :) P.S.: This is my personal observation. With How? and Why? questions that she asked. Additionally, her curiosity for everything and answers with reasoning for the things that she saw for the first time, Alexa offers a good potential to become an engineer in the future.

Wow you guys are awesome 👏Thank you for showing Turkey to people 🙏 I always will be supporting you guys ❤ Big loves to you ❤

[@tammyslater5908]

You guys are teaching your children in a completely different way than the “regular” lifestyle … people can learn and read all they want in books and become super smart and “educated” … but your girls are learning by actually experiencing the world first hand .. getting to know the people directly and not just from a picture. I personally think it’s beautiful what you guys are doing. I am sure you all miss family and friends … but you are also gaining more along the way. No family in this world can honestly say they are perfect .. if they do .. they are not telling the truth, no one is perfect. We would never grow if we didn’t make mistakes and learn from them. We can see the girls having regular studies too so I say … your kids will be so much more well diverse than the average person because of what you are teaching them. I do also agree that you all need down time for family time and normal every day stuff .. it’s very important to stop and reboot … not everything has to be in front of a camera .. us here at home work a Full time job but shut work down for a day or weekend or holiday time .. and they do that because your soul needs private time. You will figure out the balance … You are a beautiful family … keep up the good work.

You are humas as we all are... you inspired people , i think this is the best part of your series... you did a great job. .. thank you to help Turkey's tourism :) wish you best. To have a family and living with them and + laughing with them is priceless. . No matter what keep smiling.

Ahhh just got half way in and loving this channel all the more … the honesty and transparency are so pure. I totally understand where you’re coming from and so much respect for you guys for keeping it real. Four months ago I left my corporate job and DC apartment and sold almost all my belongings to move to Turkey to be near my love and work online (it had also been my longtime dream to live here) … the amount of anger and rejection and hurtful comments I received from many close to me was so heart breaking, but I’m so glad I did it anyways. I feel so fulfilled and like I’m living a life where I’m able to follow my dreams and values and passions. But … Like you said, some of the side effects can be very hard, but it’s also so worth it! So proud of y’all!!! I can not imagine how much courage and planning and work it took / daily takes to do all that with kids!! But wow those girls will have the most incredible global education and experiences!
