Hi Kristen!!! thank you so much, you re right it was absolutely mind blowing. We did not know at the beginning we d go. then about when we were in Colombia a friend mentioned she wanted to go and we thought the dates might be right but we were not sure until last minute whether we would be able to go or not. we liked the idea to end there. We have to admit we still hesitate to show some time in Europe cause most of it is spent catching up with family, doing health checks, relaxing, visiting friends, nothing extra interesting either for the viewers and which would entail bringing a camera in the face of family and friends. soooo we are still hesitating. we are appart only 2 weeks the time to catch up with some families a bit far away, and it is nice, we are together 24/7 for the past 2 years so it cannot hurt hahaha.

You guys are doing an amazing job, love following your travels around the World. Enjoy your time with family.

@NextMeridianExpedition

3 ай бұрын

Yes the costumes are extraordinary and the variety of costumes ... can you imagine designing all of those! We did not have this problem as in France the international driving license is for 3 years. That being said at least on the panamerican we have NEVER been asked our international driving license in the countries we crossed. NEVER. we always showed our national one and that was enough. depending where you decide to go that might not be entirely necessary.

So amazing..as always,menjoy family time.

Such an interesting video. You are learning as you go, but the stakes are very high if you do not make the right decisions given the conditions.

But, you have your beloved dog to consider. Take care.
