- In this deeply personal and raw episode, we are sharing an incredibly challenging journey that our family has been navigating through. As many of you know, Al has been diagnosed with two brain aneurysms, a condition that has brought a storm of emotions and fears into our lives. Join us as we unfold the events leading up to Al's critical operation at the Gold Coast University Hospital, where a team of skilled surgeons will performed a coiling procedure to prevent any catastrophic events.
In this video, we don't just share Al's medical journey, but we dive deep into the emotions that come with facing a medical crisis. It's a raw, honest, and profoundly personal glimpse into a chapter of our lives we never expected to face, yet we find strength in sharing our story with all of you.
We hope this video can be a source of support and comfort for others who may be experiencing similar challenges. We are a testament that love, unity and resilience can see you through the toughest of times.

About us: We resigned from our high school teaching positions to find the balance that was severely lacking in our lives. After suffering the effects of burnout we needed to make a change for the better. One that would see us living our best lives! Life is too short!
On the 28th August 2022 we began our journey of learning what it takes to become digital nomads so we can travel full time and live our best lives. We have given ourselves two years to work it all out and would love for you to subscribe to our channel and join us on our journey.
💜Thank you to everyone for all your support during our difficult time. It meant the world to us. Al is now going great and we are planning on some super exciting travel adventures in the future. 😍 We hope that sharing our story helps someone who might be going through something similar.
Oh Deb that nearly broke my heart 😢. Al you ofcourse glided straight through the operation that's because your a hero but it seems we can't be brain buddies anymore. I wish they had a solution for my brain Injury as well. I am across the road at GC Private and in 48 hours I was given 1 sandwich and a biscuit, that's it. They forgot me twice. I am so Happy for you. I need my art teacher back. The Great Aussie larkin lives to fight another day. P.s. is Deb doing any door dash I am starving. 💕😂😄Love you guys
.
Donna next time you're in hospital I'm going to bring you food! Or maybe you should get them to send something over from the public hospital - pretty good meals over there! 😂😍
Your story really hit home for me. My husband had a brain tumour removed in 2018 and hearing you speak Deb and the emotional rollercoaster you were on (and maybe still are!) brought back many memories of those dark days. I am so glad to see that Al is doing well after surgery and I look forward to watching more of your adventures! Im addicted to your vlogs and have used many of your tips to help plan our trip in June :)
Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear that you and your hubby also went through a rough patch a few years ago. The good news is, Al is much better today - actually he is feeling the best he has been in years. Enjoy your upcoming Bali trip! We can't wait to get back there again. :)
We have been watching you guys for a while New Zealanders living in UK and travel to Bali love it . OMG Deb my heart goes out to you must have been stressful . Al thank you for sharing what a brave character you are . Take care both x
Thanks so much! Although Al still has another small aneurysm that is being monitored, he is so much better today. The best he has been in years. :) Hopefully we can get back to Bali soon! :)
We are sending lots of love and hugs Al and Deb ❤️ our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Thanks so much. All good now 😍💕
So happy for you, that everything went great 👍
Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
😍

We're so sorry to hear about your wife, Brian. Wow! 40 times!!! I'm sure she would have wanted you to keep up the Bali tradition. We are there this November and are having a little get together at Legends on Saturday 11th at 6:30pm. Hope to see you there if you're in Bali at the same time.
That must have been a scary time for you all. I am so glad all worked out well. Deb, you be as sookylala as much as you want, it was scary. Love Al's humour and the way you both banter. I am catching up on all the vids. Love the content you both make.
Yes it was. All good now though. :) Thanks for watching!
Good luck Al hope all goes well
Thank you! Good as new now. 👍
All the best
Going great! 😍
Al all fixed, now back to traveling. 🛫
Camping in a swag this weekend... should be a laugh!
Prayers to you both and your family. Love of family is your strength and courage to face challenges. Always look forward , never back. We have faced cancer 4 times and my Husband and I have never left each others side. Keep travelling and planning ahead. 👍
Thank you so much. It means a lot coming from someone who has gone through a lot themselves. Love that you have each other - just like us!
Thinking of you Al and Deb, my prayers are with you both. 🙏🙏🙏😪
Thanks so much. 😍💕
Should meet up at Currumbin wildlife sanctuary for Indonesian food on a Friday night. It is amazing
Looked delicious! 🍲
Not sure how this video ended up in my feed, but I appreciate your story and situation. You are very fortunate that your brain aneurysm was discovered before it burst. I had an undiagnosed brain aneurysm that ruptured in 2009. Most people who have ruptured aneurysms don’t make it to the hospital. In my case, my wife was able to call 911 and miraculously we happened to be staying at a hotel that was close to one of the best neurosurgery facilities in the country and they were able to save my life after coiling the aneurysm.
Do you know if your aneurysm is being coiled or stinted?
Wow! You were very lucky indeed. Al's aneurysm was found by accident - they were actually looking for his brain. Ended up finding it 😂😂 plus 2 aneurysms. 😵 1 large and 1 small. They coiled the large one without a stent going up through his groin. Each year they will assess the 2nd one to ensure it has not grown like the 1st. Hope you are doing great now, just like Al is. 😍
Sending lots of love, and yes would love to watch you and Deb caravanning around Australia ❤ take care rest up
Thanks so much! Al's doing great now! 😍👍 Maybe August next year 👏
Thinking of you both , never easy when we can't help our loves one and we have to puts them in someone's else hands.
Deb you are allowed to cry , it's ok. ❤
Thank you. Luckily he was in amazing hands with the neuro team at GCUH 😍👍
So brave of you guys to do this video. All the best to you both, glad to see things went well. Total stranger here that loved your travel vids but very touched by your story. Onwards and upwards,

Oh guys this made me super emotional. Glad all is well. My hubby has quadruple bypass surgery at 40 years old in gcuh. All the feels deb... you brought me back to my experience..your very brave both of you. Hope all is well . They wouldn't let me visit my hubby before his surgery coz of COVID. Was so scary and emotional and I had a one year old at the time. Very isolating. Can't wait to hear on your upcoming travel plans xx
So glad both our hubby's are back and am so sorry to hear about such a huge operation! Thankfully I was able to go to the hospital. I couldn't imagine how scared and worried you must have been at the time. Is he ok now? 😍💕
