Going Home After 2.5 Years of Travel (Emotional Reunion)

This is it. After more than two years of traveling, we are finally going home. Full time travel is a dream come true for us, but sometimes we have no choice but to go home. This video is all about that journey home to have an emotional reunion with our family, friends, and dog!
Our travels to Canada begin in Indonesia. We start off in Bali, Indonesia and finish up a few final tasks before starting the VERY long journey to North America. Our first two flights land us in Sydney, Australia, where we less than 24 hours to explore Sydney. We go to Circular Quay in downtown Sydney to view the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, because what visit to Australia is complete without visiting these landmarks?
After a whirlwind in Sydney we took another three flights to get to us to a beautiful part of Canada called Victoria. This was an extra stop on our trip home, and the whole purpose of this little detour was to visit Nicole's siter and her growing family. We were lucky that our trip back to Canada happened just weeks after my (Nicole) sister had her third baby, so we were able to squeeze in a visit with our newborn niece and his two big sisters. Being away from our little nieces and nephew is one of the hardest parts of full time travel, so this reunion was emotional for everyone.
After a relaxing and beautiful few days of catching up with this part of our family, it was time to take our final flight to Calgary, Canada, where the rest of our families live. We were greeted at the airport by a tearful group of my family, and hurriedly made our way to see our dog Evie, who has been patiently waiting for us to return for 2.5 years. We never planned on being gone for 2.5 years when we left in 2021, so to be reunited with our dog after this long was such an exciting moment!
The final reunion was with Mico's family as we brought both of our families together. Being together as one big group like this is something we have missed so much and is definitely a perk of going home to Canada. Although we LOVE traveling, spending time with family in our home country is something we don't take for granted after being away for so long.

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on KZbin, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

[@nicoleandmico]

Be honest, did you cry a happy tear with Nicole on this one? 🥹

[@DLFH]

So very bittersweet to close one chapter, but exciting to reconnect with your loved ones and plan for the next chapter.

Fantastic!!!!!!

[@nicoleandmico]

Love you too!

[@banguyen8313]

Just happened to watch this and totally hooked. You guys are awesome. Keep on doing your thing guys🎉

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for joining us! You’ve come at an interesting time on our channel. We’ve got some big news to share this weekend 😁

[@Youtubehandleduh2496]

Hi there guys! New subscriber from your Mongolia series. I was surprised to know that you guys were from Calgary, as I lived there for almost 2 years. Hope you’ll have/have had a great time back home with your family and looking forward to your new adventure!

[@jessicasanchez1627]

I have no doubts that your upcoming plans are as exciting as your past 2.5 years of travelling. Especially since you will be reunited with family and your adorable dog. In a way, I am happy you postponed moving to Thailand. There are so many YouToubers there right now that content gets a bit repetitive at times. Can’t wait until your next video!

[@nicoleandmico]

So true! We have been noticing so many people in Thailand recent as well and are glad for the chance to be doing something a bit different. Thanks for continuing to follow the joruney!

[@RidetoEnglishwithDM]

OMG I cried a little bit when you guys reunited with your family! Really looking forward to the next video. I’m dying to know what’s next for you guys. Love all the videos you make.

[@nicoleandmico]

Awe we hope it was all happy tears! We can't wait to share our big update next week!!!

[@thetravelingzam]

Can’t wait to hear what’s next

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks! The next video will be up Saturday morning 😀

[@kathyfenwick4612]

Oh my goodness, watching you reunite with your family made me cry!! Looking forward to seeing what your next plans are, no matter what, I know they will be amazing!! You two are so adorable together!!❤️

[@nicoleandmico]

Awe I hope it was a good cry! Thanks for joining us and for sending your support! We're glad to have you!

[@kerk6428]

Welcome home! It has been some time since I last was able to watch your videos; I think I need to catch up from since Japan. If you are still in Calgary, I hope you caught the amazing aurora last night. Vancouver had some spectacular view here. Also, I got teary watching Nicole reunite with her family. Looking forward to learning what your future plans are!

[@nicoleandmico]

Welcome back, and thanks for watching! We are so lucky to have had the chance to see family again after so long on the road

[@DaveMani]

What a journey guys and cheers to the next adventure! :D

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks @Davemani!

[@charlesbrenan6269]

E-sim advice is spot on. Purchased Airalo e-sim for South Korea and downloaded on arrival. Incredibly useful and not that expensive. Another great vlog - hope you don't stop, once you get home! 🇨🇦

[@nicoleandmico]

Awesome to hear you also love eSIMs! Don't worry - we won't be stopping travel in the slightest :)

[@ritasmoot1823]

Oh my stars!!!! My chest felt so heavy getting through this video. Gave me anxiety to think about how I might not get to see my favorite KZbin couple! AND THEN the conclusion finally let us know that there are big plans to come!!! YAY!! My heart is calm again and now I can sleep. Lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️. Don’t do that to an “old lady “. (54 lol). Looking forward to the next episode for sure. Love you guys and I know you’re glad to be home with your families and your virtual family still has you. What a load off!

[@nicoleandmico]

Sorry to scare you! Next week's video will go into all the details about what happened once we arrived home and what you can expect from our future adventures! We can't wait to share it with you!

[@DLFH]

BTW great job on the masterful repair work, and for the mileage you've gotten out of your gear it's held up rather well. Hopefully one day you will do a whole Canada series, but for now it's great to see the three of you doing well where you are currently at in the world.

[@nicoleandmico]

We really have given this gear a run for her money. We're so impressed with how long things have held up, especially with a little patch work here and there haha. We would LOVE to do a Canada series one day. It's too expensive at the moment, but one day we would love to explore our home country fully

[@BluSlade]

💙💙

[@neverppreciated]

welcome back to calgary!

[@Kumukarl]

Nice suit bro!

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks man!

[@edgarenova7996]

🥰🥰🥰

[@shoreseeker]

Hahaaa yes I live in Gold Coast and even I also thought “wow is this it?” for the international arrival area 😂 But damn that is sooo many flights! My bf and I had to go to Wisconsin and we took a layover in Hawaii because it’s so far.

[@nicoleandmico]

Haha yeah it took us by surprise! And yes it was maybe three too many flights 😅

[@helenwheels4444]

Hey. Maybe you have already been to Sydney but I live in Sydney about 15 mins from the airport so if timing works I could take you for a drive to see the local sights if you want.

[@helenwheels4444]

Ah. Perhaps I should have watched 5 more mins of the video!

[@nicoleandmico]

Awe thanks for the offer! But yes, our stop in Sydney was really quick!

[@sivodesilva9866]

This guy has only one emotion...smiling like forever...How possible?

[@nicoleandmico]

That guy quit his job and travels the world with his full time 😅

[@SincerelyRaman]

Mico is SO tan here 😄. OMG, what a cliffhanger at the end 🙈, haha!

[@nicoleandmico]

He really is! Can't wait to share the full story next week!

[@user-eh4ng1yj8z]

I thought you wouldn't be putting videos up anymore.😢.......Anyway I hope that things have settled down, well you were in Canada.....and I'm excited to hear where you are going next! Shame about Thailand,it's a great place. Anyway see you next week....happy I can say that! Take care .....Martin...Bristol....England😊😊
