What our Kids learned Inspired Us | 30 Countries in 6 Months - Ep 23

8 Countries Later: How Travel Is Changing Our Family Forever 🌍✈️

We’ve now traveled through 8 countries on our mission to visit 30 countries in just 6 months as a family of 7 — and this vlog is something truly special. Instead of just showing you the highlights, we asked our kids to sit down and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned so far. Their answers surprised us, moved us, and reminded us why we chose to take this journey in the first place.

From canyoneering at Kawasan Falls in Cebu, to swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, to exploring the breathtaking Table Mountain in Cape Town, this adventure has been filled with adrenaline, beauty, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. But what’s really standing out now isn’t just the places — it’s how travel is shaping our family.

Our kids shared raw, honest reflections:

How stepping outside their comfort zones built courage.

Why connecting with different cultures changed their perspective.

What surprised them most about family travel.

And how this journey has already left a mark on their lives.

As parents, hearing these insights has been powerful. Traveling the world isn’t easy — the flights, the long drives, the constant moving — but the growth we’ve seen in each of them makes every challenge worth it. We’ve laughed, cried, argued, learned, and grown stronger together. And if we’re already seeing this much transformation halfway in, we can’t wait to imagine what the next 22 countries will bring.

This video isn’t just a recap — it’s a reminder of the why behind travel: to connect, to grow, and to see the world (and each other) in a whole new way.
