BE BRAVE - THINK BIG - EXPLORE
Thanks so much for watching!!!
Love that you are normalizing difference for your boys. You seem so happy and at ease in crazy busy crowded places. What a wonderful education for them.
It’s been an amazing experience so far friend. Not necessarily easy but it’s been great. Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Most diverse country in world from nature to people to socio economic aspects
I love India, it's one of my favourite countries to backpack!! I gotta say you are quite brave to travel really anywhere with two quite little ones! Good for you and Happy Travels
Thanks Stephen! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️
Honestly, I didn’t think I was gonna like your travel channel. But I watched it today, and I was filled with happiness, wonder, and even got tearful when I saw the lake and the mountains. Such a different culture than what we have here in Texas. Really a moving experience for me to realize what it’s like for people like you… (whom I feel like I know from watching your other channel over the last year and a half)… what it would be like for me to go somewhere far off like you have.
The fact that we have huge, huge spaces full of people with different ways of living, different cultures than our own, is mind blowing.
This world is so big!
Thank you for taking me on a journey to India today! 🙏
We are so happy to hear that Paige. Thank you for the support on this channel, it means so much to us. The world is indeed big and there are so many different countries and cultures to experience. We are so glad we could share this experience with you 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
This quote really resonates with my experience of India "There are three trips you take to India: the one you think you’re going to have - that you plan for; the one you actually have; and the one you live through once you go back home." Thank you Newbies for sharing your experience with us, what an amazing adventure!
Thank you friend! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
India is a mix of almost everything happening together amazing place.
Hearty welcome to Incredible India, Love from Kerala, Bharat 🙏🇮🇳💖
🙏🙏 thanks you. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Truly love that you decided to visit my country India. Been following you all for some time. India is a massive cultural difference from your farm in Portugal. Hope you had a great time. Love to you and the family. I'm from Mumbai India
Mumbai is the best. 👍 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Wow…thanks so much for taking us along your adventure to India, it’s been so much fun! Your boys are truly warriors and taking it all in stride that’s for sure…love it!!!❤️🇨🇦🇵🇹
We love having you as part of our journey Marilena 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I love the little boy dancing at the puppet show.
It shows the dancing and music got to him. I predict he will choose to settle in India when he grows up!
Fun prediction!!
Oh, I so loved my time in India and I know you will too! Children are so resilient, once they acclimate there will be no stopping them. The colors, the sounds, the foods...what a fabulous experience❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is an amazing experience Mary! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Im too scared of heights, those glass stairs gave me anxiety.😂
You are brave Tara ! I would’ve been with John ! I can’t do heights ! Sawyer dancing with the puppets was so sweet . 😊 Crusoe is already such a great traveler 😊👍
So happy for you to be incorporating travel into your boys childhood. You are excellent parents and it shows in every one of your videos. ❤ love from Charleston SC
Thanks so much for watching. We are having the absolute best time here in India! We all send you lots of love and hugs 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
What wonderful memories you are making. The boys are troopers…you make it look so easy. Thanks for the trip to India. At 76 I won’t be physically going. So i am enjoying your journey.❤️🇨🇦
I'm just here after watching some seniors do a south India trip, Check out the channel Nic Nieuwoudt South India 2023.
I would never have the courage to go to India so it’s wonderful doing it vicariously through you.
Look hard from out side but when you here you never feel bored and alone
Start your journey from South to north avoid main street for trafic
LOTS of hugs to you guys. Going alone, as adults its quite the adventure, but with two small children, well, you are my heros! Thanks guys, for a pick in to an Indian culture. ❤️
Thank you so much friend, it is one crazy but amazing adventure 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Thanks for taking us along on your journey around India.
Good to see Crusoe and Sawyer learning about a new culture and taking it all in there stride.
😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Gosh, the look on your face, John, when you got near the glass walk. I felt so bad for you, but truly understand that feeling. Tara, that step down must have been terrifying! Thank you for taking us around with you. As a hermitish person, I can't imagine so much stimulation in a busy country, but appreciate seeing it through your eyes. xo
Thanks so much Monika! ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for bringing us along, wonderful video. Just enough of each experience, I can sympathize with Tara on her scary first step. Crusoe is so articulate and Sawyer’s smile at the end was the cherry on the ice cream!!!❤
Thank you for watching friend. It’s been crazy but incredible 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Wow, guys, India looks amazing. What an experience. The boys are just so chilled.
I'm with you, John. I'm terrified of heights. I started getting sweaty palms watching Tara on the glass.
Cant wait to see the next episode😊😊 Lesley 😊.
Thanks so much for watching Lesley 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Wow, that was a bit of a culture shock and sensory overload after watching the peace and tranquility of your Portuguese homestead!
Great that you're sharing your passion for travel and exploring with your bonny boys. Crusoe seems to be quietly taking it all in while little Sawyer continually seems to beam and giggle all the time...he seems to be a very happy chappy and makes me smile every time!
Happy 2024 beautiful Newby family, and congrats on all you have achieved over the past year! ❤❤❤
Thank you John and Tara for taking us along on your great adventure! It reminds me of the time we have raised our children in India for 7 years, well, we left 25 years ago, but some things never change, like the pinching of the cheeks. Our kids hated it as well. When out we always had the Dettol disinfectant spray handy to keep the kids hands clean, were strict with clean water and overall cleanliness. By the grace of God we hardly ever got sick. Wishing you an awesome time in this amazing country of India!
😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Indians are friendly people hence they do cheek pinching out of love. And Not just to foreign kids, you will find Any random person doing cheek pinch of any naughty, active, smart, good looking Indian kid as well. People usually don't mind as we Indians live with family, culture and traditional values.
@@pradym2497 as an Indian, I will be teaching my kids about consent and boundaries and about saying no if they don't feel comfortable with a person pinching their cheeks or whatever. Whether the person is a stranger, a relative, or the parent themselves. Love and all is great but respecting everyone's personal space is something we Indians need to learn a bit more :) Love is no love if it makes the recipient of love feel uncomfortable. Best regards.
@@noornoornoor23 Ok ask for consent for showering 1 second of love on adorable little kids, make the whole human relation mechanic Not spontaneous. Great going. For some of your types every aspect of human life and relations is about perfection....
@@pradym2497 I don't know what you mean by 'your types' and all. I would request you to keep this conversation respectful. I am sure there's something we can learn from each other, even if we may have different views :)
I understand that you think spontaneity in showering love is reduced when you bring in the concept of consent. At the same time, I have seen way too many instances of young kids/toddlers receiving some physical affection from elder relatives and at times getting very upset. Seeing such instances of these little kids being upset, often very upset and even crying, makes me feel that we need to be a bit more aware of whether the particular child in the particular case at the particular point of time wants to receive our love. Because if our intention of showing and showering love makes the recipient become upset or cry, instead of feeling loved, then as elders our hearts will hurt from that too. And as loving elders I guess the last thing we would want is to upset cute little kids, na.
Oh lord, that glass floor scared the hell out of me 😩 I would not go either. The boys are really great, getting all these impressions. Loved watching you all. Looking forward to the next video. ❤
It was quite an experience Anne! Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I applaud you both for giving your boys such an education. But John, my heart was racing just watching Tara! I would have been hiding behind you even on the stairs! I can do without the noise but the colors of textiles and the art on the buildings are incredible!
Aka Filipa,
Did you know that Mumbai(former Bombay, Bombaim in Portuguese) was a Portuguese colony in the sixteenth century. Later it was given to the British as part of the dowry of the Portuguese Queen, Catarina de Bragança(Catherine of Braganza) who married the English King Charles II.
I feel the same heights terryfie me! The Sears Tower in Chicago has a glass floor! Just thinking about it makes my heart race! 😢😂
Thanks Merry! It’s so amazing and hard and fun and epic. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thanks Filipa!
❤️❤️🙏
It is super fun watching you. Thank you so much for taking us along. Such a fabulous episode. The boys are troopers. Loved Sawyer dancing with the puppets ...and everything else. You guys are awesome.❤💫
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer…….what a great first episode from India……looking forward to the rest of your travels there. How different we all are, as I would never be able to stand the crowds, noise and hustle and bustle you find in India. I’m a small town girl at heart and love the peace and solitude. Maybe I miss out, I don’t know. But I can enjoy from the peace of my lounge haha! Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Hi Julie! Thank you so much. It’s been an amazing trip so far. We can’t wait to show you what else we’ve been up to 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
You and John are so brave and adventurous. Bless your trip🙏🏽💜
I'm so glad you've been enjoying your time in India with the boys. I'm sure John is well aware of this having been there several times, but for those who may be traveling to India but don't know, most food or water borne illnesses you'll get as a traveler in India are easily treated with antibiotics, which are (for better or worse) available over the counter at local pharmacies, which are everywhere. And it's also relatively easy to get house calls in your hotel or guest house by a local doctor who can treat the illness if it's more serious or you're more worried about it. Hospitals, especially in big cities, are generally excellent quality, and you'll get very good health care if you need to go in (recommended to contact a doctor if you're very sick for more than 24 hours). You're less likely to get sick at street vendors serving hot food. And twice I've gotten sick eating at certain five star hotels. It's always going to be a bigger risk when you're eating out at restaurants rather than eating home-cooked food (which is almost always safe to eat). But after about my fourth trip to India, I figured out the basic rules and stopped getting sick.
Again, I'm sure John knows all of this, but for those who don't: only eat food that is hot and freshly cooked; eat cut fruit only if it is cut open in front of you; choose very popular places, and places where local mums are taking their young children to eat; no ice in the water or other drinks (five star hotel restaurants are usually okay for this, but not always); bottled water only (check the seal, if the seal is broken or loose, get another bottle-reputable vendors will exchange no problem). Most homes use water filtration systems, so it's almost always fine to drink water given to you in a cup in someone's home, especially in more developed areas. Brush teeth with bottled water, even in nice hotels (unless you are 100% certain the hotel has a reverse osmosis system for tap water). Tea is safe to drink, as the sugar, milk, and leaves are boiled with the water. Lassis typically include water and often also ice, so be cautious-choose popular, reputable vendors. A lot of homes have clean tap water these days, but most still don't, so best not to drink or brush teeth with water from the tap unless you know for sure it's safe. This all becomes second nature after a while.
I also travel with a travel UV filter for situations where I need to brush my teeth but don't have any bottled water left (I actually need to buy a new one, I gave my old one to a friend in India who does a lot of traveling, he uses it all the time), and next time I go to India I'll probably also take a Life Straw water bottle that includes a carbon filter, because I sometimes go to pretty rural places. This together with the UV filter makes safe drinking water that also tastes okay. The UV filter makes clear water technically safe to drink in terms of bacteria and viruses, but Life Straw carbon filters improve the taste and safety of the water by removing things that can make it taste foul and can damage your health in other ways.
This can all helpful for anywhere in the world the tap water is suspect (which is true in developed countries, too-it includes some parts of the US these days, for example, where water infrastructure has not been well maintained, though these are not typically areas tourists will visit).
Excellent advice old friend. Thank you, it’s always good to get ideas and for people dropping in for a visit who read your comment we can say it’s really good advice that should be used and followed. It will keep you healthy for sure. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Ya se me quitó las ganas de ir a la India 😂😂❤
@@anadorsamp3560 Nah, it's not that big a deal when you go, within a couple of days you get used to the kinds of things you should do to stay well and avoid the various digestive infections. A lot of people are really afraid of getting sick, and it doesn't have to be inevitable. If you do get sick, medicine and medical care is pretty easy to get, especially in larger cities where most tourists will be. India is a wonderful place to visit, with a deep and diverse culture, amazing people, terrific food, and lots of things to do and see. After traveling there extensively for many years and living there for a while, it's one of my favorite places in the world.
America needs to do this now with Tap water
Completely with Tara on that 'near death' experience! Taking the stairs with John!! See you guys on the farm!! Great episode!!!👏👏👏👏👏😳😅
Two Udaipur videos on one day! Just finished watching Those Happy Days's video, started watching yours, and thought this looks so familiar. Haha. Wonderful place, lovely video, looking forward to the next installment of the Newbys in India. ❤
Thank you for the support Adrianna! We absolutely love it here 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Tip . You can usually get great food at temples. Just offer a donation of money or eg A bag of rice , fruit, veg... ( vegetarian items ) ( No eggs,onions,garlic nor mushrooms) ( In case you didn't know ) India is such an interesting place and so many people speak English ❤ Thanx for posting 😊
Thanks for the tips!
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu it's amazing Kerala munnar, kochi, wayanad
Thanks for the tips!
Hello again! When I went to India alone, my first time, everyone said I would get sick. Really didn’t want to! I decided that before I put anything in my mouth, food or drink, I would ask for it to sustain and nourish me. Two trips of several weeks and no sickness! Stay well! ❤
Hello Alicia. Love that, well done you! Thanks for sharing your tips with us, we love learning from you and the rest of the community here. Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
you very brave to go to India. I couldnt manage the noise
only the cities like any city are noisy rest of the country is beautiful and greenery is everywhere. Please do to judge by one video.
Just say no to photograph , please ! The more you say yes the habit gets more encouraged.
Wow, what an experience. Not for the faint of heart. I would be claustrophobic with severe illness as I have asthma. I am glad there is no smellovision. I am very happy for you all. Stay safe. Lots of love to you all. ❤
I NEVER GO BARE FOOTED….about the time I pick up someone’s foot fugus…plus not to mention my plantar fasciitis…which feels like I’m walking on sharp rocks… I love that I’ve seen this so when I get the chance to go here… I’ve been here….done that!
Oh my goodness!!! It's a beautiful landmark, but I'm with John. No way could I have walked down that way. Very brave!
😂 it was an experience to say the least friend haha Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Sou brasileira de Minas Gerais.Cheguei no seu canal pelo outro que vocês estão em reforma na fazenda.Vê a cultura da Índia foi ótimo.E estou vendo a reforma da fazenda.Em breve estarei em Portugal também !Linda família de vocês!!
Amazing. Thanks so much for your support on both channels friend. It means so much to us 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@TheNewbysExplore Adorei o retorno.Que Deus abençoe vocês e seus príncipes lindos!Sua esposa é maravilhosa muita paz, saúde e prosperidade a sua família!!
Just relaxing watching on Saturday morning guys ♥️🌈🌈
Wow, even Crusoe hesitated for a second to step on that glass walkway! No way I would ever do that! I’m with John on that one!
He did Judith! Smart fella! (John)
Tara and John. After reading all the comments, I am really shocked how many of your viewers have not travelled extensively and seen the world like you and I have. They live in their own comfort zones and missing out on the adventures of seeing this planet earth, beautiful countries, cultures, peoples, foods, beauty etc. It is truly shocking & a shame. Hope some will get motivated now.
They are living in their stereotypical western world which was established some 200-300 yrs ago. Its blood boiling sometimes reading their so toxic stereotypical comments about the places they never visited or stayed longer to experience. People judge rest of the world based on where they live instead of having open mind🤦 They don't know they have nothing but privileged life in their rich countries. The real world and oldest civilizations are outside which they consider as backward or third world countries with full of wonderful things n people 🙌🤦
Absolutely AWESOME! What an amazing experience for the boys!
Thanks so much friend. It’s incredible here 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for showing me a little bit of India..it is not on my bucket list of places to visit even though my mum was born there as her dad was in the British army stationed in India.
😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I don’t blame you John for not wanting to walk on that glass cat walk. We have the CN TOWER here in Toronto and they have a glass square at the very top where you can also walk on and see the whole tower structure down to the street. I can’t do it either. Kudos to Tara and Crusoe. You are truly amazing and brave.🎉🎉
I will make a note of that tower Nanda, when we are there we should try it 😉 Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
@nandaabreu5369 I’ve done the edge walk at the CN Tower and loved it but I find it hard to do the glass cat walk. 🇨🇦🇵🇹
coincidentally 😁.
Happy New Year! What a wonderful experience to be in India! I agree, the colors are vibrant catches a person’s eye in all directions. As a parent, I would also be uncomfortable of people asking to touch my child. I am looking forward to the next vlog.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year to you too Irma! Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I’m super impressed as India is definitely a bucket list destination - keep having fun, being brave & enjoying the adventures 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Will do!
God's speed, Newbys! Thank you for the lens into cultures that I will never experience due to health issues. I am blessed to see the world through your eyes!
❤️❤️
India with two toddlers ? ... that defines Be Brave ! Looks like all are having fun, so enjoy. All the best.
Thanks so much friend 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
It was a nice adventure to come along with you all and look at the kids'face and your eyes wandering around with astonishment.
Just landed on a different world of which everyone will remember different things. Crusoe and Sawyer will benefit from the absolutely amazing time they're spending with mum snd dad.❤❤❤
Thanks for watching Luisa 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Wow I loved every second! No surprise those two gorgeous boys take it all in their stride. They are surrounded by love and stability by great parents. Thank you for such an exciting first travel video. Can’t wait for the next one. I have travelled a little but missed out on India.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment friend, we are so proud of our boys. See you next week! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Love this video! Your boys are such a credit to you, they just take everything in their stride and embrace it ❤. Tara your face on the glass walkway was priceless! 😂 So brave for doing it though! Well done
Thank you so much friend. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
So wonderful you are sharing this trip with your boys and virtually with us. Stay well. Have fun
Thanks so much for watching Maggi. We are having the absolute best time here in India!😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
भारत में आपका स्वागत है।

Nice to see .you in india. Just a small advice.hold your kids hands while walking anywhere out . .also let them walk in front of you not behind u...have nice stay in our lovely country.
Thanks for the advice 🙏🏼
@@TheNewbysExploreyes I too noticed that
WoW sawyer is enjoying the show 😃😂Crusoe thinks about bless them both ☕️🌈👋👋👋🥰
He is growing up so quickly on this trip Helen! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much for taking all of us along on your fabulous, amazing and incredible adventure! ❤ Looking forward to seeing your next chapter. Happy New Year Newbys! 🎉 from Arizona
What a great educational experience for the children! Trips like this are not just a cultural experience but an experience of differences and acceptance! Bravo for starting them early in their exploration of the world and understanding !
So agreed friend. ❤️🙏❤️
You truly are brave. I would never ever be brave enough to do Mumbai with little ones. Mumbai is an amazing crazy busy city, with a smell one cannot describe and never get used to. Incredible city.
It is exactly that friend. An amazing crazy busy city and the boys are taking it all in their stride. We are so proud of them! Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Oh my goodness, I would have joined John.that was so scary. Even though it was you not me, my heart was pumping for you. Cruso was amazing, not to cry. So exciting for you.
It was quite an experience Pam! Proud of all my boys. Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Hats off to you no way I would visit India. My father worked there for 3 month in the 60's came home yellow. Even he used the tablet into the water still got sick. To take off my shoes for me a no no. I did that back in Hungary in the 70's picked up some bug took me over a year to get the fungus out. Love to see all but the price to high to pay. You are so brave. 🫂🫂🫂🫂 Keep healthy please and thank you to taking me into a place I will never see in person. Looks like Indian people very caring and kind. 🫶
Thank you Erika!
Oh. I want to go back there now! The cacophonous sounds, the colours..toot toot. Everything is moving. Wonderful, just wonderful. Enjoyment written on your faces. 😮😮😮😮
John you’re a lot braver than me just going up there, Tara, you’re nuts! 😂💩lol , have a great time
Wow, you are braver than I am taking two little guys on a trip like that and Tara, your "near death" experience on the glass walkway...whoa, I wouldn't go anywhere near it, let alone go on that site in the first place! I'm a chicken and detest heights. I applaud you Tara yet I certainly know where John is coming from! Well done folks! The boys quickly enjoyed the ice cream cones, so cute.
Thanks Norma!! ❤️❤️❤️
India is a mixed bag, especially for people coming from a quiet country and still quieter countryside. It overwhelms with sheer number of people and noise and cities like udaipur and Varanasi are noisier. As an Indian living in India, i had tough time handling the nose in Varanasi but the city was magical.
You are being smart about telling people that you are willing to be photographed but not the kids or Tara.
Take a day off from sightseeing to just give rest to your senses. I'm not surprised that kids are experiencing sensory overload.
When in Delhi, check out Carnatic Cafe for a meal and don't forget to order coconut water. It's the best electrolyte for the body - all of you will love it and especially the kids.
Fantastic advice Nashipur! Thank you friend. 🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing this trip to India!
I have been backpaking there on my own, 4 times, but this was between 40 and 30 years ago! So I am looking forward to see the changes.... and I admire you to take 2 little boys with you!
Wish you health and fun
Thanks Patricia. I bet those were amazing trip you made. Probably quite different now, and. A lot more people. Since Johns first visit in 2000 the population has grown by 500 million people. That’s 6 entire populations of the UK.
How wonderful you're in Udaipur. I was just watching another travel couple who were also there driving round India in their tuktuk! You're so adventurous going there with your toddlers. What amazing experiences for them. When I was there we took a boat trip, with massive fruit bats flying around us, out to the hotel/restaurant in the middle of the lake for a scrummy evening meal. Wow, that statue really was 'mega' and the glass walkway was so intense! Well done Tara, you're definitely living up to the 'brave' bit of your slogan.
What an incredible experience Lottie! Thanks for all the support 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
What a wonderful time you guys are having. Stay safe have fun and can’t wait to see the next one next weekend.
Thanks so much friend! We are having the absolute best time here in India! We all send you lots of love and hugs 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Wise not to drink the odd tasting one. Great cultural education for the boys 💕 Thank you Tara for being so articulate explaining the places & feelings. My heart stopped too when you tripped. 😮 they need a big warning by or on that step. Wow! And that statue was huge. Looking forward to your adventures as a family 👍🥰
Absolutely love these videos Tara & John. Thank you so so much really enjoying them. I’ve never flown anywhere and it’s wonderful how you give people like myself glances at the places in India. Looking forward to catching up with the rest of the videos. Love to you all Lisa xxx ❤❤❤❤ Tara my god you’re brave no way would I walk on that glass. Don’t blame u John giving it a miss xxx ❤❤❤
Omg Tara, that scared me haha, l am with John no way, l would feel like l was going to fall.
Great adventure for the boys, awesome vlog xx
😂😂 Thanks so much for watching Donna! We are loving it here 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
PLEASE STAY SAFE PRECIOUS DARLINGS ~ JOHN, TARA, CRUSOE AND SAWYER ❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️🙏🙏
I think it is also the drinking water where you need to watch out for. Also for icecubes in the drinks etc.
I was trembling while you were walking on the glass!!!! John I’m with you and Sawyer. Enjoy your trip! Thank you for taking me along.
OMG Tara! There is no way I would have walked on that glass walkway, you are so brave! I would surely have taken the route John took...lol! Great first episode guys. Before you mentioned that people are coming up to the kids and want a picture or a pinch on the cheek, I noticed in the video how people were really staring at you guys. Enjoy your time in India, be safe xoxo
😂 I think there are quite a few people that would opt to go with John and not with me haha I am proud of Crusoe, he did so well! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
So nice. Children are incredible. Bravo for them ❤
Thank you Anna 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Bloody marvellous! Loved it all, but really, really enjoyed Sawyer and Crusoe's reactions to the puppets. Thank you for taking us with you . Safe onward travels.
When I travelled in India, I took Chlorine dioxide with me and I put a drop or 2 in EVERYTHING I drank. I never got Delhi Belly, but my then husband (Indian) DID! I only ate deep fried things on the street that were not served on a plate. On the train it was exclusively boiled eggs.
Thanks for the tip Heather 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Happy New Year Newby's. I was so looking forward to this vlog and once again guys, you didn't disappoint so cheers for that. We were in Italy with our 5 and 7 year old grand kids earlier last year. Our grand daughter has long, almost white wringlets, quite pale skin and the bluest of eyes while our grand son is fair, green eyed and quite tanned. Both kids got a lot of attention, compliments and people wanting to touch their hair which was a bit annoying at first but afer a couple of days the kids started trying to speak Italian to the people and they had such positive engagements with everyone that it turned into a joyous learning experience for them. The best part was that they are both now going to conversational Italian classes in their after school time. They are also saving very hard for our next family holiday which will be to Canada for a white Christmas. We're in Perth W Aust and it was 37 here Christmas day. I thought it was glorious but will confess to being very excited to experience a cold and hopefully snowy Christmas just once.
Thanks so much friend. We are so happy to hear that! That is very sweet and brave of your grandkids, well done to them! Thanks so much for watching and for the support 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I am not sure if you going to like the cold but try it out. I grew up in -10-20 °C no fun at all. Since I am in Australia (NSW) I am happy as a pig in mud. Yes Christmas was hot 42 and also this time was storm no electricity but still better than any minus temperature.😊
Oh dear, I hope you guys don’t get sick. I was thinking that India would be the last place on Earth I would travel with small children. But then again I really have no desire to go there. I hate crowds and cities so I would rather go out in nature.
Me too
I realy dont understand how they could travel with their boy in such a dirty and loud country. The boys are not interested in temples and statues etc. It is just the parents, who seems to me a bit selfish.
Thanks for the concern Cheryl, we are all still doing well and not sick which is great. It is such a beautiful country and we are loving it! We also love nature and being alone in places but there is something so special about experiencing different countries and their cultures. Thanks for the support friend 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼

Lovely to see the start of your adventures in India! I’m terrified of heights too…even the video of the glass pathway freaked me out! We once went to a zoo in Kerala where there were parties of school children who immediately crowded round us and were far more interested at looking at us and saying hello than watching the animals!
We can’t wait to show you what else we’ve been up to Hilary. It’s incredible here! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
What a super fun episode. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did. That glass walk was scary. Cheers!
Tallest statue in the India itself but that is different. Statue of Unity is located in Gujarat state , not far from Udaipur actually.
Olá Newbys!
Wow... the traffic is insane, isn't it?
It must have been such an amazing experience, when you took off the shoes and the socks to see the statue and Tara.... you are really brave!! And also Crusoe 💪🏻 I wouldn't do it, for sure!
A kiss to all the family 🌿
Hard traffic. To much pollution sometimes. 😅❤️👍
Wow!! Tara, they should put a sign up to say there is a step, my heart literally jumped out of my throat when you gave that ' Ooo' afterwards I had to laugh (sorry). I would not like to walk on that glass corridor either, I am with John on that one. You definitely are sticking to your 'Be Brave, Think big, Explore'. another lovely video. Sawyer with his ice cream at the end and his big grin. What an education for them. I would not like to have taken my shoes and socks off to tell the truth, I mean so many people walking on those mats.
🙏🙏❤️❤️😊
Finally...I was looking forward to this video and I loved it. I've enjoyed so much to see the boys watching the puppet show and all the other experiences you shared with us. It's such a different culture! Thanks for taking us along.🇮🇳🪷❤
🦋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So grateful that you’re able to share this video. Thank you for the time and effort it took to film and edit it and post it for us. Much appreciate it and so so beautiful.
I love your constant good mood, the fact that you take everything as it comes. You never seem to be in a hurry or panicking or feeling stressed. Thanks so much for that fun episode which I was really looking forward to
So used to your quiet wonderful videos of Portugal. This is too loud and busy for me! But I’m sure many of your memberships will enjoy being transported to India. Be safe and God Bless.
It is definitely a lot different compared to the farm friend, thank you for the support nonetheless. It means so much to us 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Tip: when ever you travel to India you should eat yogurt/curd first. It will add the local good bacteria so you will not get Delhi belly.
Wow, what a trip! I like how you always include family activities for the boys to enjoy. Every day is an adventure for them. If it's any consolation my husband too suffers from vertigo. Looking out and down from a higher hotel room and sitting at the window of a high revolving restaurant is a challenge, never mind walking over a glass floor. There are so many other big and brave things you do, John. S.
Thank you! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️🙏
I feel for John, I too am frightened by heights. Recently, I've been having nightmares about falling from very high! Maybe I was feeling for John? I just went forward on the video. I have had to close my eyes to not see her walk on the glass! Shivers just listening to Tara and John!
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Loving your travels so far in India, having been there a couple of times myself, I can only imagine what it must be like with Sawyer and Crusoe. What a fabulous family adventure. Can't wait to see what unfolds for you. The sights and sounds bought it all back for me. Big Smiles.xx
Thank you Linda! A real adventure for sure! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 😊🙏❤️
Tack för en spännande film. Så starka ni är som orkar bära era pojkar hela tiden. En mycket annorlunda resa, jag skulle inte orka med alla bilar och oväsen.
It’s been crazy but incredible Iris! 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I am happy to see you are enjoying your trip. Great to see the boys acclimating themselves to their new environment. I’ve been to India and was soooo sick for almost the whole trip even with eating warm food, drinking only bottled water and peeling all my fruits that it was probably the worse trip I have ever taken and would not go there again. Thanks for showing us what you’re experiencing which helps me see there is so much to experience in that country. Hoping you all stay healthy through your 5 weeks. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Carine! So sorry to hear you were sick friend, so far so good for us! 🙏❤️
My favorite place to visit! I almost came out of my seat when I saw you buying drinks on the street! At least you reassured me “no ice”. But still I will keep my finger crossed safe travels and happy learning together.
We will definitely always get drinks without ice! Thanks so much for watching friend 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
I am thrilled to watch this first episode of your trip to India. What amazing sights and sounds and colors! I am having such a great Newby week, as I purchased your cookbook with the videos and am experiencing it slowly to make it last. Thank you for taking us all along on your adventures. Smiling in New Mexico and sending a big wave (no pinching of the cheeks) to you all.
❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️
Brilliant! Watching you all in a country where you usually only see the pretty parts makes it so much more real. Crusoe's face watching the puppets made me laugh! Great footage in the statue, the thrill was palpable! Great start to your travel channel, I'll be here for the rest!
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed it Claire! Thanks so much for watching 😄🇮🇳❤️🙏🏼
Wow’! Great job traveling with kiddos ❤ they look like they did great! They can feel the calm from mom & dad. Not sure I’d do so well. Love the beep beep from sawyer❤ stay safe & courageous! Happy new year 🎆
