The obligation to complete the trip was never owed to anyone, including yourselves. Adventures are exciting, variable, ambitious, uncertain and ever-changing. Living life in the way you have over the Pan-American trip has been a success in that you got from it what you needed and the ending was what was right for you. No regrets and embrace every new day. ❤. You two (four!) are amazing storytellers and we all love being included in your journey!

Hey guys, You made the right decision for you and unless someone experiences this lifestyle it is very hard to explain how challenging it can beat times. What you have achieved is amazing and you have created memories that you will remember forever (Especially on the beach in Baja LOL !) - that is what it's all about. From a selfish point of view- you'll be there when we get back and meeting up again is going to be amazing. Enjoy your time in the UK. Sending big love from us C&M xx

As you take time to process the changes you are going through, slow down and make time to continue to "smell the roses" as you ground yourself in a new chapter. Your adventures don't define you, they just provide structure to which you hang your experiences on. You have so many new stories to tell❣️. Take care guys.

The beauty of KZbin is that it isn't formatted and rigid. Use that freedom. It's always exciting to see a new video pop up from my favourite creators. It doesn't have to be every week. It doesn't have to be regular. The adventures that give you the most pleasure will make the best videos. Instead of posting videos as you go, you should just make a whole trip (for example, around Ireland), then take your time to edit and release multiple episodes about that trip. I can't imagine how much time you've spent editing and worrying about content, instead of just enjoying yourselves at times. You can set a whole new pace for yourself. Anyways, take care. Get some well deserved rest.

We do three months at a time away in Europe in our motorhome it's always really Nice to get home and not to be traveling every day. After a few months at home we get itchy feet and off we go again for three months and it's lovely to be in the motorhome again.

So nice to see you home, happy and rejuvenated. So glad l caught this video as its kinda how I've been of late. Constantly planning, committing and filling the year with trips overseas and at home then getting anxious about decisions... I'm retired, 67 and think l just went 'let's do this'. Now I'm seeing it OK to change your mind, as you say we all change in our desires/needs/wants - listen to our hearts. Enjoy your 'moments' and be happy. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures evolve 🐕🐕 🚐 Take care of yourselves guys 🧡

Greetings from Nova Scotis, Canada. Missed you folks, will go to FB to sub. Had to rewatch to make sure all is well. As everyone has been telling you take your time in recovery for both your physical and mental bodies. Hugs to all.

I'm Very glad to hear you are home. I was uneasy often with you in Mexico for some reason. I am looking forward to seeing Great Britain with you, as you always give educational descriptions.

I am so happy to see you both recognizing what you needed and acting on it. It would have taken an incredible toll on your mental health that was totally unnecessary. You should have no regrets...the rest of the journey may happen, if and when you are ready. Looking forward to your adventures closer to home. Enjoy your family time. Hugs to both of you and scratches to both the dogs.

Glad you are home, safe & sound! You accomplished an amazing adventure! And as you said, it’s not going anywhere…… will be nice to see some UK videos, not many doing that. Enjoy being home and renewing old friendships. Will look forward to seeing what you get up to when you are ready to roll again!! I’m just down the road from your favourite hurricane pizza joint in the Valley of Nova Scotia…..🤗🇨🇦

Thanks for the update, glad that you made it home safe and sound! And no worries that you didn't finish the trip, we'd rather see you do the things that you truly want to and that you're passionate about, rather than suffering through something you're not enjoying anymore when life changes. Cause it's unreasonable to expect a huge decision you made two years about wouldn't change, life moves so fast. And I know it's super tough being a content creator on KZbin, where your success is so inextricably linked to a nebulous algorithm and upload schedule, but look forward to seeing what happens next! Take care!
