Thank you for visiting india 🙏🏻
With these adventure little boy growing faster and stronger hopefully he will be very happy after some years when he see his old travel blog's.
You should really visit Kerala before leaving India. One can't leave India without exploring South.
Try house boat in Alleppey, Kerala. Your kids are going to love it .
South India is the best. It's safe, clean, warm people and beautiful.
Portable high chair for attaching to table.
Bharat is a massive country compared to tiny uk. You should be fair and show all parts of BHarat where you get real luxuries you wont be able to afford the rich malls where you kids will get what you cannot afford in uk and then you purposely go to smaller places where kids are stronger and well looked after just not pampered because they are not spoilt. DO not give cliche statements this is reality-everything is reality-the reality is you guys stripped BHarat the golden bird bare muurdered people stole the jewels and much more and then come to Bharat and talk condescendingly as if you know everything-such pompous stupidity still exists? Correct your statement by saying if you come here they may nore blah blah blah but all places are not the same-omg western dumb wit-edness.
indians love kids because in our culture we believe that the innocence in a kid is equal to divinity itself.
Whenever you have a wish and in doubt, write the wish say it will be done in another chit wish not fulfilled. Place the two chits in front of an innocent kid. The kid will pick up one. It is a belief in India..
And we believe the experience and knowledge of old age is also divine. It's just in-between that no one gives a shit. Can't wait to get old or go back in time and be a child.
you forgot to mention the HIGH CRIME RATE and the huge number of kids who are kidnapped!!
@@blindship5792India is too big to be stereotyped like that. While most Indians would take care of kids and would love them, there are a small percentage of bad people that you need to protect your kids from. Just like any other country.
In our culture we love kids of white people, and within india kids of certain castes, and nowdays kids of certain religion.
We lived in India for a while. You either hate India, or absolutely love it! It was a sad day when we left.....India has something so special, and yes, the best food ever!!💝🎉
Agreed. Such an epic country. Thanks!
Use to work with a guy from India..We all dreaded when he brought his lunch to work and heated it up in the microwave..That smell..By the way they ended up firing him because he was making sexual advances to all the female employees..Guess stuff like that is ok in India but definitely not in America
WOW thats true i never thought about that...i ( as Indian) thought there will be some middle ground on how the World sees India but your comment cleared it out that's its Black and White. :- ) simple as that.
@@DHARMIK_M👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lots of love from India ♥️♥️♥️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
As an Indian (from the North-East, where the culture is quite different from mainstream India) living in Europe, I have always struggled to articulate what I feel about India. I often tell my girlfriend, India is an experience and that's it. It brings out all kind of emotions. India will make you mad, disgusted, happy, scared, amazed, irritated, melancholic, relaxed, enthusiastic, tired, lucky, shitty.... You stay in India long enough, it will bring the best and the worst in you. Somehow, after getting to know the world better, I have grown to love and appreciate India more than ever. It's not perfect, but that's exactly is the point.
P.S.: I have zero regional patriotism. I also believe in a diverse but united India.
I live in Australia, and I explain the very very same way you do.
Bro every side of india has different culture 😅 i dont know what you consider as mainstream delhi maybe
@@animex8129 He means the way North East gets neglected every time. Wish they got more attention like we get
@@animex8129 Lack of education, awareness and qualitative approach is the result you talk just like your father or grandfather would. How foolish are you to not understand what mainstream & neglected part is?! East Coast & North East.
Assam and it’s culture except the tribal areas in Assam is not at all different from the mainland Indians. Lol. It’s just geographically in the northeast, culturally its similar to the rest of all Indians especially with the Bengalis. Lol
My great great grandmother was from India, she was brought to Trinidad by the British as an indentured slave and my great great grand father was British. I have followed your travel to India and for the first time I felt I know where my great great grandmother came from and how she must have lived. Thank you for sharing your journey through life with us. We see a lot though your eyes and it's amazing 💗.
British colonial rule at that time did unthinkable things for gaining wealth with disregard to humanity. All those perpetrators could not take the ill gained wealth with them, now they are just dust in the wind.
Thanks Michelle, that’s an amazing family history. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
you should visit India michelle
@@sameersawla thanks so much, I will love to visit some day.
Ended one form of slavery to start another.
I miss India so much having lived there teaching for 10 years Only left just before Covid
Those big beds are so Indian as they are for families as are the love of children
If you venture back to India head south to Tamil Nadu and experience the hills stations and the cleaner air
Thanks Robin!
Yes....the hill stations in the south indian states are never to be missed.....ooty... kodai..my favourite destinations..
I loved watching your travels to India. I went to Gujarat and started and finished in Ahmedabad. The pollution wasn’t bad and whilst there was no Taj Mahal the Jain Temples were beautiful and the beach at Mandvi was lovely. I’m a hand spinner and weaver so I booked this trip with this in mind and focused on seeing amazing local artisans. I was humbled by their skill whilst only having basic equipment. Beautiful to relive India thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Janet!
Love love love your travel to India. Visited a while ago and lived there for 8 years. Incredible country. Did not like Delhi, Punjab, West Bengal and Hyderabad but loved the rest of our stay and travels across Haryana, Maday Pardesh, Odisha, Chandigarh (except Punjab influence on it), Daman and Diu, Goa, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Mysore, Madurai and many places in Utar Pardesh. We want to visit northeast next time. Also felt that our media and academia in the US does a disservice in portraying that country. We actually enjoyed visiting temples and exploring Hindu way of life through vegetarian food (such a heaven for anyone vegetarian), yoga and learned about ayurveda. Hope Indians themselves can preserve all the goodness. Did not get used to the traffic and pollution so mostly stayed in places on a bit more upper middle class yet smaller towns. People are very hardworking there and seem to have gratitude. Very close to their families as well. Hope to visit again. PS: Forgot to add. It was surreal to see how welcoming and keen on sharing people are in that part of the world.
We (Me & My Spouse) planning to travel northeast this December may be from Kolkata (West Bengal)... including all 7 sister's states and Sikkim by two wheeler to explore more... Waiting for the fun.. btw.. why you did not like West Bengal.. let me know.. just curious..
Punjab is different, as punjabi were the last ones to be subjugated and enslaved by foreign colonial forces.
There is a martial spirit and sense of freedom which can be intimidating for outsiders.
I went to India for the first time in 2009 and fell in love with the people and country. Enjoy your travelling through that amazing country.
My son (at the age of 6) would only eat buns, eggs, yogurt and fruit when we were in India. Now, as an adult, he has been back several times and is a huge fan of Indian food! All in good time...
Thanks Sara! ❤️❤️
Although India seemed like a lot to handle I do believe their people are friendlier and maybe more open than people in western countries. It's amazing the boys get to see it this young. It wouldn't be my thing to be in a crazy busy city but I do think India is beautiful ❤ I live a hectic life all year, I'd like my travels to be a bit quiet 🤭
Thanks Linda! Next trip will be quieter for sure! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
South of India is very peaceful and beautiful. There are amazing Resorts you can book yourself in.. South Goa. Kerela, Tamil Nadu... Alot of backwaters, tea gardens and beaches...
If u wanna experience a calmer india visit north east and south india unlike the central and north with too many people. Indian is so diverse but is not mostly explored cause people come to see the chaotic places and complain its chaotic. I mean u picked them XD
Goa is west if india, being former city of maharashtra.
Its not south of india@@Butterfly_diaries27
Caruso feeding his little brother is precious! ❤
Crusoe is his name, but Caruso is a pretty cute close up! LOL. I had the same response to watching him feed the watermelon to his little brother 😍
I as an Indian will always be grateful to you and your family and India is ready to embrace everyone
What lovely parents you are while being respectful of other cultures. They learn by your wonderful modelling for sure.
I have always tried to take spices from countries I travel to for work to make food for my homebound children when they were young. I believe as a biologist that creating 'culinary imprints' in the brain of our babies can make them easy to adjust to foods of distant lands when they grow up and travel. I can surely vouch for it now that my grown up kids feel at home when they try supposedly exotic foods for them. You are making your babies world ready by doing this. Thank you for visiting my homeland, India even though I am geographically far from her.
Travelling with kids has to be different to travelling as adults. I took my kids on a 3 month trip around Europe (ages 10, 8 and 3) we took a trailer tent and purposely avoided the cities and stuck to the countryside - it was perfect! Because we drove we could go to places away from transport hubs (cities!) it’s a great way to plant the seed of curiosity- I now have three young adults who love to travel and see themselves as global citizens. My eldest studies international development and we have great discussions about global issues. Don’t hesitate to take your kids travelling - the world isn’t just beach holidays and hotels! I agree that India is a completely different world and has a place in my heart ❤️ (and I’m just back from Morocco - which was equally incredible!)
Crusoe is the most advanced 2 year old I have seen but I’m fascinated watching Sawyer now coming on leaps and bounds and emulating his big brother. No wonder they give you so much joy. ❤
It's more difficult to travel in West than in India. You have loads of transportation options available like auto rickshaw (tuk tuk), bus, cabs, trains, planes, Rented cars, Rented bikes, metros etc. Food is extremely cheap, just that you need to know were to pickup from. Vegetarian food options are plenty hence you would never starve. Yes for First class train tickets you need to book in advance as seats are limited and very few travel as they are a little expensive. Second class with 2 or 3 tier is a good option. If you have a local person helping you, things are sorted else you will have to juggle but if you ask for help people are more than willing to help. Sometimes the problem with foreigners are that, they end up staying and eating at shady places which makes their experience bitter. They go to places were even the locals don't visit. Pollution is definitely there, it's good to use mask but if you stay in outskirts or villages then air is fresh. Pharmacy are available everywhere and even the doctor clinics. You need not have to take appointments weeks in advance to visit them. Traveling alone is adventure if you aspire for it. Always seek locals help whenever in doubt. Have a good stay in India and make us feel proud. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
You have not gone to the West unfortunately. Travelling cheaply is one thing and travelling comfortably is another. Western public transport is pretty cheap for a high middle income Indians. Even taxis are affordable in the West. I myself travelled in fewer cities in France and hired taxis without burning my pocket. It all depends how you want to travel..
@@shivathealmighty he just stated options for cheap and comfortable travel. We have ola and uber too and contrary to what this foreigner guy says , uber and Ola are both way chea per than the local rickshaw.
@@shivathealmighty my office was at a distance of 7 to 8 mins from my home. And I used to take the local rickshaw everyday which costed me 70 rs for a ride. 3 years later I suddenly found out that Ola fare was way cheaper within 37 to 50 rs(i have used ola and uber since years but somehow never considered that as a travel option for my office ). There was a drastic difference in fare charges to other parts of the city too. These auto rickshaw guys are di gg in g their own gr Ave s with their ridiculous tarrif when people have other cheaper and more comfortable options available
There is a cloth type high chair replacement that slips over a chair back goes up between his legs and you can tie him to the chair so he is safe and mom & Dad can relax & eat.
Yes there is! That would have been perfect.
Good tip. Thanks!
Yes I’ve seen that cloth high chair replacement. It’s great.
Yes portable travel options.
When our kids were young, we traveled all over Europe and the UK. We never thought about India as a travel destination but seeing your videos I'm disappointed that we never considered it. What an experience your boys had, one they will never forget. Good for you, carry on with your awesome destinations. I will definitely be watching!
Thank you Joy!!
I agree with you both, it’s so amazing how much kids cope with travel, often better than we do. Our son was 4 when we did our first overseas trip. We did an around the world trip and we we away for 10 weeks. OMG the things he experienced and learnt. He’s a very social person and just like his late father, can hold a conversation with anyone. We travel with a cheap stroller, this allowed him to rest and sleep when needed. Food was never an issue for us, in Asia we didn’t eat on the street, every where else we ate where the locals did. He ate everything and anything, nothing delighted him more than having something new. Kids are awesome travel partners.
Thankyou for your honest feedback, i hope our places become pollution free sooner rather than later because past that india has infinite things to offer & explore depending on how much time one spends. Warm wishes to your lovely family🥰
Madam, you are right. Pollution is high in and around winter time in New Delhi and other cities of North India. You have to plan your travel. Best time should be from mid February onwards when its not that cold or hot and sultry. That's one idea. However the best to me personally is in mid October onwards in North India and then gradually move down to South India just to avoid the pollution problem as you indicated.
It was really nice to observe you people, how you managed to go around India and enjoy with the little kids. Fascinating it was. I really enjoyed your travels and the nice presentations you two gave on You Tube.Lots and lots of love and blessings to the little, little ones.
Thank you Samir! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️🙏❤️
It was brilliant to see such an honest response. Off to India in a month!
Made me remember my trip to India. The colours, smells and history overshadowed the pollution. Seeing the sights and changes to 1998 just makes me smile. PS I backpacked Europe Asia and Canada in 1982 at the age of 19. Just eat local if you do want to risk Delhi belly but carry your meds. I am from SA and also grew up in Plumtree.
Cool trip Toby! Great memories friend
Fortunately you do not need to worry about health anymore. Indian medical facilities have improved so much and doctors are easily available and you don't need to burn your pocket even for a general hospitalisation..
The pollution in North India is particularly bad during the winter season because of the stubble which the farmers burn in that season to prepare for the next crop. Coupled with that is the fact that there are more vehicles in Delhi than in any other city in India. North Indian cities, especially Delhi, should be avoided in winters. The best time to visit Delhi is in summers and monsoon between April and September. In winters south India is safe, including the cities.
I agree. Winter is the time when farmers harvest their sugarcane! This is a terrible time to be on a highway!
I've been loving your India videos, what an experience for you all and the boys have been amazing , youre bringing them up beautifully ❤
Thanks so much friend! what a trip!
Awesome watching your series through India with the boys. I loved every episode and take my hat off to you guys for travelling with your children in such a fun , exploring and relaxed way. I myself was a much more conservative parent when it came to traveling so I have been watching you in awe. Thank you for taking us all on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you friend! ❤️❤️
Tack för en jättebra information om er resa i Indien, ni gör så fina filmer alltid så kul att se dom.❤
Travelling throughout India is like touring many parts of world with different languages dialects cuisines and people. Your taste buds will experience many flavors not seen in other countries. Loved to see your video. Welcome back again.
So true! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
I am Indian from South(Kerala),I never been to Delhi or any other northern state.After hearing about about pollution in Delhi,I feel I am fortunate that I born in Village of South India.With green and fresh Air
So wonderful to see the summary. And your advice about Delhi and Agra are of course, right on. Which is why I skip them you both as well as the boys are just the most fun caring and warm people I’ve ever met. Thank you, Karen.
Thanks you!
This really touched my heart. It would be so wonderful to go back to India with my 19 and 11 year old children. India is in my heart and you gave me a peek. Also Goa, such a relief from the big cities! wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Touching and relatable.
After all these years, I still miss the curry, the chapati's and the chai.
If you want to see temple architecture please visit Meenakshi temple tamilnadu. Temples in South India is amazing. For forts you can visit udaipur, Jaipur Rajasthan. For religious places you can visit mathura, Varanasi, rishikesh. North East is also amazing. For hills Ladakh, Spiti valley.
Chai! Chai!! Yummy!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Foreigners should start adding north east and himachal in their plan.... These are very beautiful places 😊 next time try to visit
Thank you for taking us on your journey. I’m jealous as I would love to do these travels. I have New Zealand a year from now on my bucket list and like you I will be doing vlog for my friends and family. Looking forward to hearing all about your next travel plans 😊
hello , my name is Greta i have found your page , i live in Australia , i have travelled extensively In India , but my heart filled with love so much when i saw your family in Goa . i have my partner in Goa and unfortunately haven't been able to get back for the past 5 years .
i thoroughly enjoyed the videos of you all in India , and i take my hat off to you those you chose to share India with your young children .
you are correct , most people actually underestimate children's ability to adapt to different situations, but it was also because of your incredible parenting style that they were able to also enjoy what you showed them .
they seemed to just adapt to anything that was put in front of them on a daily basis .
i will look forward to the day i can also return to India and go to many of those places that you showed on your travels.
and i will continue to watch your family on the videos , kind regards Greta Martin
Hi Greta! Welcome to the channel friend! We will have more travel videos in a few weeks time, first we are back at home on our farm where we are growing our brave boys. Lots of fun and plenty of adventure too! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Thank you for this truthful and realistic account of your wonderful family experience! I find it great to see the kids so free and able to explore their surroundings! It must have been amazing busy time to film all that! Kudos to you both for your creativity, as the videos are so fun to watch from my senior chair!🙏😁
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😊
you had an incredible adventure in India! Thank you for sharing with us! 🥰
Newby's, I for one think you are incredibly brave for spending five weeks in India! India is a magic colorful place, but the fact that Crusoe and Sawyer did so well is simply down to you being amazing parents!! The wonderful things they saw and did will be with them forever! Sawyer's going to need more travel to get the experiences that Crusoe has had but he's catching on just fine! 🐪🐫🐊🐉🐶
Thank you Linda! That’s so kind friend. 🙏❤️🙏
I never travelled India Much , Although its my home , Due to less time and opportunities ,Now seeing my country through your Experience ..Thank you ,maybe someday i will go back and revisit my country
These boys will have tears in their eyes when they look at these videos in about 20 years. And can appreciate how well their parents have raised them ❤.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Great video Tara & John! You did great traveling with young kiddos and loved seeing all the adventures you experienced including the rats! Way to go to have open minds and open hearts. Crusoe and Sawyer are turning into really cool and well adjusted little humans. Keep on going you two, you're doing fantastically well with all of it. Don't let negative comments determine the path you take.
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic video! I love seeing Crusoe fed SAwyer!
It's been a wonderful series, and you made so many memories, which is what it's all about. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankyou so much for sharing those travels with us xx
As I see the blossom on the fruittrees in the backround - oh man, please show us the garden. 😊❤
I think we will have a lovely episode coming about the garden soon. Not Sunday though, I think next week sometime. It’s looking fab, we have both been working so hard in it. Great fun!
Good on you. My son is now 23. He's been all over the world with me starting at 9 months.. Could have used some of your info many years ago. Would have been fun for me to do a RUclips Channel way back then like you are. Just returned from 2 months in Europe yes it's so much easier to do trips on the fly making reservations the night before for the next place these days than years ago. How exciting to see your travel adventures. Hoping to get back to Portugal again in April. I don't know how I survived the long flights with my son back then now I am older and the flights and airports are becoming more tiring...Carry on. See you on the Portugal side. Hugs my friends. THANX FOR SHARING. Lots of Editing don't know how you keep up Tara?
❤️❤️❤️
So happy to have lived vicariously through you and the boys! You will have truly a lifetime of memories, sounds like pretty amazing parenting to me! Love you guys!!
Great vid guys, I admit I think my wife and I would have baulked taking our kid/s at the age your little Sawyer is at, only because there would be a lot of effort and the age might be too young to remember later on but I was very excited to see how much Carusoe took in, how much he was looking around and helping to look after his little brother. And he can talk about it afterwards and you know he has his memories stored. But what a great trip and those curries, and the smell of them would be heaven on a stick, we love curries and would have them with every meal….especially breakfast (nice veggie curry).
Thanks Anthony, those curries are being missed for sure, especially for breakfast!!
John, Tara and the beautiful boys l’m so glad you guys had the best time in lndia. Goa is so dear to my heart because l’m from there it’s such a beautiful place, seeing the boys enjoying the beach reminded me of my childhood days. God bless your family. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next. I truly enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing you all twice a week. Love you guys make the world happy with your beautiful channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing your journey through India. I think patience is the number one thing that is so important when traveling with children. BTW, I love your elephant bracelet!!
Thanks Darcy, John picked that up for me in Udaipur for Christmas!!
12:25 you can ask for an extra mattress which you can lay beside your bed and stay in a single room even after your son gets a little bigger ...my dad used to do this whenever we travelled because he did not want me to stay in a separate room alone
Go south of India like Kerala, Kerala is less chaotic, less pollution and very beautiful green nature. Food is more spicy(not chilli spicy) and more tasty.
I have so appreciated your thoughtful and intelligent comments, plans and reflections on travelling with young children. Seeing the boys fitting in with whatever is happening at the time shows how secure, happy and confident they are. The experiences they have shape them in so many ways and it has been wonderful to see. Thank you.
Thank you Sally!
What a wonderful series guys. Thank you for showing us the richness that is India from your perspectives.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful information! Thank you for sharing! I thoroughly enjoyed your trip to India!
Thanks Deborah!
In india if a lady has a kid or you are a family then people would respect and help you more. indian metro cities are crowded and if you go deep into indian countryside you will find real india with beautiful fresh air and space
Next time if you visit India , visit mountains where you won't find that much pollution
Places like Shimla , mussoorie, mukteshwar, Kasauli & other places are a good option to visit in India.
About places to stay plan to stay in hotels or resorts which are expensive
Like ITC & Radisson.
Such hotels will not only cater to all your needs but also offer excellent service In terms of food & other activities for you & kids too.
Places like Delhi is polluted so plan to travel by cab & avoid taking tuk tuk.
Hope you enjoyed the hospitality of Indians & had a great stay.
I would love if you visit Madhya Pradesh in India next time.Here you will find india's cleanest city indore and bhopal and other cities where you can create your memories.😊
Always learn something when Michaels around looking forward to seeing him more, waited a while to see you crack on with kitchen nice one xx❤
You are really smart about traveling with your children! It is difficult to juggle the children's needs with yours! But traveling to a country with such a diverse culture and traditions, the children are learning so much about diversity, tolerance, and manners! Great video!
❤️❤️🙏🙏
you are very down to earth family thank you for your kind words glad you enjoyed yur trip with all the positives and negatives
really liked all the vlogs.. happy journey back home !
Thank you friend!
Loved watching you on your journey through India,very inspiring and interesting.
And on another note love the olive trees you bought , keep up the good work and keep the videos coming,love it xxx
Thanks for your visit to India, watched many of your episodes from India series , pollution in cities , lack ofcleanliness on public places garbage throwing on streets and eco sensitive zones and unorganised traffic are really our major shortcomings ,sorry for that, country is trying to rectify things and we hope situations will more better in future , but apart from that you are always welcome in this land of diversity lot of mouthwatering cuisine,colourful dresses,many languages, history and heritage, great variety of culture and folk ,every type of landscapes from snow capped mountains to lush green fields, beaches and sand dunes of desert and much more ,some of them you enjoyed at your own,much more love to your cute brave babies, wishing you for a new journey to India,from Rajasthan,India
❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Hi Newbys, India seem magical in so many ways. So sad on the pollution level. Love following these videos and looking forward to your next adventures. Stay well.
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I love hearing the reality of traveling. Usually, you get to see the best parts of the trips in pictures.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
You can visit Delhi and Agra during monsoon. Ie between July and August. Air is good although traffic could be bad.
Thank you for your honesty about travelling in India. It is truly an amazing country in many ways, but the pollution is horrifying. It makes me so grateful to live in Australia where I can step outside my door everyday and fill my lungs with clean air. Thank you for the shared experiences of an amazing holiday.
Thanks Sally!
You are welcome again to India visit southern part of India. The health capital also. You can see Mumbai, banglore and also chennai. ❤❤❤❤ Which I live in.
It sounds like you did a great job with helping the boys be resilient. It's been my observation of families overseas that the parents set the tone for the children. Yes, children adapt, but they adapt best when they know they are safe, loved and can watch how their adults handle the good and the bad well. That doesn't mean parents don't get upset or out of sorts! But how conflicts are managed so children feel safe is the best :)
Such a precious family time, and great reflection on traveling with kids in incredible India.
❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
There are some great tips for ppl here.
Thank you for encouraging ppl to travel to India 🇮🇳. It was one of our best and exciting countries to visit.
Well done, NEWBYS!
Can't wait to see what's next on this channel ❤️👏
Thanks Vivienne! A short trip in May! We can’t wait! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥
It is well known about high pollution in Indian Cities. Research is very important before you travel if you cannot follow daily news on environment issues etc. As I said Indian cities are densely populated which is well knows to find jobs to feed their families. Hence Population is dense and emissions from vehicles is outrageous. I am glad John quickly realised that his past experience as solo backpacker did not work well travelling in India with kids. You were brave to rough it out with kids. Although There are better ways to travel within India with more comfort.
Thanks MintLeaf. We mixed it up and had lots of fun friend.
I'm so glad you all enjoyed your trip to India. I certainly did watching each episode. You'll have to share some of your favorite curry recipes with us.
Thanks Patti!! ❤️❤️
Dear friends, Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer. What a challenge and what a blessing you did not catch any virus or turista while there, yes, the curry is phenomenal and other Indian cuisine but as you said you needed to be wise for your little boys. Glad you forgone the pollution and went to Goa, too bad you did not stay longer to visit south Goa and it's historical Portuguese heritage. However, the most substantial and imposing Portuguese mansions can be found in rural areas of South Goa, such as Chandor (the Braganza House), Loutolim (Casa Araujo Alvares and the Figuerido House), and Quepem (Palacio do Deao). These mansions are open to the public and contain a treasure trove of historical memorabilia. Next time on a Tuk-Tuk as Crusoe mentioned. As I recently mentioned, Crusoe slept well because he spent his earlier year on the back of his Daddy John. Well, we love ❤ these little boys because they each have different characters and talents to draw you, like when Crusoe was feeding his brother Sawyer and he kept eating but then stopped by telling him with his head nod he did not want anymore. Precious!!!!😊😊😊 To your next adventure. Many blessings🙏🥰👶👱☺️🏡🌅🇵🇹👏👏👏💕
Thank you Joanne! The next adventure has been booked for around about May time. We are excited!! lots of work on the farm first though!!
@@TheNewbysExplore you will see almost 3 months, it will pass very fast. Can you give us a hint where????
Please visit Northern areas of INDIA like Himachal and Jammu kashmir where there is no pollution and are rich with mountains and devotion.
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us! I loved every minute of the whole video!
Thank you Norma!
Hello, en tout cas c’est un plaisir de voir les enfants manger avec plaisir, ils respirent la santé. Gros bisous à Crusoe et Soya 😘😘
Thank you Cathy!!
My kiddo is 22 but this is great with those with little ones and maybe even those of us with big ones...LOL
😊😊👍🙏❤️
I take my hat off to you both. I remember when our children were Crusoe and Sawyers ages driving from Mutare to Joburg and back on holidays and breaking up hours of sitting in a car by staying either at Beit Bridge or Messina so the kids could burn some energy. The best times to leave were at midnight so at least they were sleeping for the first part of the journey ( but dangerous on the roads, so had to take it slowly). The Beit Bridge border was horrendous to get through (going back 20 years) and couldn't help feeling that my children were going to get ill from all the pollution and flies etc. That was only 1000kms trip one way. You guys, travelling around India for 5 weeks!!! I know I wouldn't be able to cope with that. Well done. Im sure you're happy to be home
❤️❤️❤️ what an adventure!
This was such an excellent episode. The Newby's always keep it real. Thank you for sharing your experience and what you've learned. Very interesting and inspiring. The pollution is so sad. We take for granted where we live to have clean air. 😢. I am wondering what will be your next destination. ❤❤❤
I love your true feedback .Indian govt and people should improve here
I've really enjoyed coming along with you all on this incredible trip Newbys. You seem to have struck the right balance between culture, scenery and keeping your boys safe and entertained. Well done to you all x
Thanks Jacqui! ❤️❤️🙏🙏👍

Next trip to India, I would suggest Kerala, in the very south of India. It is a great way to be introduced to India, as it is not as busy as the north. Kerala has wonderful rivers, lakes, mountains and beaches. A lot less polluted and lower population. It enticed me to return to India, this time I'm heading to northern India, in just three weeks time & looking forward to it!
Thanks Kath!
Thank you Tarra and John & kids I look so forward to all your videos both channels, they are always so much fun .Once again thank you for your kindness.
Thank you so much Steve ❤️❤️🙏🙏
This was very interesting Tara, though I must say travelling with children to India would not have been my choice to go as you say one has heard of the Deli belly. After watching you and John with the boys going there I had very mixed feelings and I guess I would rather go far away from the cities. It was a very interesting vlog watching you in India and I guess I will keep it to that and just watch and enjoy and thank you for sharing this travel in India which I did appreciate and enjoy very much and it was wonderful to watch the boys and how they adapted so easily (as children usually are). I have learnt a lot from your travel in India. I must admit the rat temple gave me the ebie geebies. Glad none of you got sick. Have a lovely day.
Guide in India should be a must or atleast consult with guides for safer and efficient travels. India is definitely not the safest but precautions will work 100%. (Any english speaking driver could also be somewhat like a guide)
You two are an awesome mom and dad! Great family!
Thank you Linda, that’s very kind friend! ❤️❤️❤️

One should avoid delhi in winter to avoid pollution.
Your trip was incredible and I was living the journey through your family, because I am unsure if I will ever get there. Indian people are the warmest people I have ever met ❤
Thanks Catherine!
What a wonderful summary. Very through and thoughtful. Thank you so much.
Thanks Barbara!
My son was a great traveler but we didn't go out of Canada, USA. My son had egg allergies both yolk and whites so we always had to be careful and read ingredients. We always had fun. He was my co-pilot. ❤️🙏🎈
Epic trip, you all looked like you were having a great time. You are the best most patient parents.
🙏🙏🙏
I luv the boys sharing fruit ❤ beautiful 😍 ❤ enjoy traveling further ...can't wait.. ❤🎉 🇮🇳 india🎉❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Clicked! ✅️ I do this every episode now.. since learning how it actually helps your channel ❤
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏 thank you Michelle, that’s so kind friend. We are very grateful 🙏🙏
How lovely to see how Crusoe feeds Swayer . 😋 You have explained this whole trip very very well and in detail. Congrats to you all. I still say, that I don't think I could do it , but kudos to you and to anyone who does. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
@@TheNewbysExploresee again you only replying to white ”privileged” people
All parents must learn from you guys....Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this really lovely video Tara, it feels like you're in my kitchen talking one on one sharing candidly with a close friend. One of the best things about you guys is your genuineness, and it's SO refreshing to follow people like you in a world where there's too much image preoccupation, if I can put it that way. You're the antidote to the Kardashians syndrome LOL. On a travel note, I traveled to several "third world" countries, as we called them, when my son was little, when I worked in international development. It never occurred to me to see if I could bring him on one of my trips abroad, most likely because in the back of my mind I felt the living conditions where I would be visiting were not safe enough (water/food contamination, getting sick from playing with other kids in unsanitary environments, violence, traffic...). After listening to you in this particular video, now I realize that it might have been an important step to have taken him with me on occasions. It would have helped both of us grow in some ways, for including him in that part of my life, and taking the chance and knowing it'll will be okay... Thanks for helping me have that realization. Love you guys.
Hi Claire! That’s such a great comment to read. Thank you! We rather like being an antidote to the Kardashians! 👍👍 more travels to come pretty soon. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
This was a great India guide and it felt like a scrapbook of the whole trip. I must say though, as much as I love seeing you out and about, it is nice to see you with Phi and the chickens, little spotlight stealers 😅
