Our family of six visits the ancient ruins of Mahabalipuram (also known as Mamalapurim) in Southern India (state of Tamil Nadu).

What our readers have to say…

I read your blog and almost cried. I am going to start traveling this summer and recently I have had a lot of fears come up about all the 'what ifs' - money, my age, etc. I was feeling particularly vulnerable this morning when the link from your web site came across my e-mail. When I watched your video and read a few sections in your blog I am convinced that this was a sign, you are a Godsend, and I am really excited. Thank you,thank you, thank you. Keep up your amazing work and life.
The desire of my heart is to be doing what you are doing. So I guess you could say I am living vicariously through you.
I love your appreciation and genuine interest in other cultures. I am always looking forward to reading your next post.
[I read] because you're an EXPERT in the area I'm most interested in. Living the dream.
I read to see it is possible. However, my husband is still convinced we can't do it, that you must be special... So I continue to read and follow, hoping for something to click for our family to also travel the world.
I enjoy reading your blog because you share the spirit of adventure that not too many people are brave enough to follow... I like to see how resilient you and your family are during the lows that would send most people packing home. My family and I get out a lot and explore but like to live vicariously through your experiences. Thanks and we will keep following along.
