    Even though I missed your videos, I'm glad you took a breather. It has to be hard to put your life out there and have people criticize your choices. Glad the van is back. Enjoy life!!! And always go for the croissant. Never, ever skip it!!

    I love how respectful you are of everybody's feelings, the part where Megan talks about how stressful this has been for Mike, the paperwork needed to get the van to France. That was so thoughtful and kind.

    It takes a lot of work traveling in Europe, but it is soooo worth it. I live in Morocco, right across from Spain so we go to Europe all the time. Our family of three is hard to travel with, so I couldn't even imagine doing it with 9 kids! You guys are doing really good work. Later on in life all your kids will look back on their memories traveling. They will be very open minded and wise.

      Mariana D. Couldn't agree more!! Some people judge it as a Muslim country, and ask if it's even safe. My response, "it's as safe as America" The people are lovely, and very welcoming. As an American here, lots of friends and family have visited and have been soooo surprised by the beauty and culture. We love it here!

    @parmentier1984 7 лет назад +1

    I'm happy you got your van. I can feel your excitement about having your little island of normal back. When traveling it is important to have those areas of familiar to help ease the culture shock. For example, in China, Sam's Club has the same feeling for me that Costco had for you. It's like walking into "Little America". Familiar brands, familiar set up, familiar cart checking when you leave. Sometimes you just need that.

  • @MsBrunner88
    @MsBrunner88 7 лет назад

    I grew up reading an old Albert Payson Terhune book called "A Boy and His Dog". When I saw the smile on Mike's face when he got out of the van the first time I thought "A Man and his Van" - congrats, folks!!!

    Glad you guys have found a way to adjust to a hurdle. If it is any consolation - the process of feeling afloat and a bit out of sorts is really common, in fact if you didn't go through it you'd probably be seen as a little odd. God speed for the rest of the trip!

    “Your life is not a lazy river at a water park.” One of the best things I’ve heard. I subscribed to your channel because I have a dream of adopting at least one child from China & traveling around the United States full time. It’s so cool to think that we have control over our lives the way that we do.

    Hi Knorpp's! I have been watching your adventures for 2 months now and trying to catch up on passed videos. Got the courage to comment...I just want you to know how much I have come to love your family! ♥️I am sad when your sad, I cry when you cry, and I am happy when your happy, so today I am so happy that everything is going better and your happy!😄 My homeschooled daughter teases me and says "Knorpp's posted a video" and I get all excited, and she says "not really, I just like seeing how excited you get!" I love you channel and can't wait for your adventures!

  • @karadizon4299
    @karadizon4299 7 лет назад

    I'm a new follower of Knorpp family via You Tube, and I'm hooked on the family dynamic & what great parents Megan & Mike are to their kids. Now a day, it's so difficult to raise children properly when social media or technology pretty much controls our children. I've learnt a lot since watching these videos & been sharing my positive comment w: my FB friends and friends. As I parent, I need as much comfort and guidance for on other parents

    Megan said: "Your life is not a lazy river at a water park. You get to decide where you go, and you get to make it happen. And that's pretty dang cool."
    Ah, I am so glad I re-watched this video. I needed to hear that today. You are full of wisdom, Megan; I love it! (Maybe you guys should put that saying on a t-shirt? I'd totally buy it, and I bet others would, too.)
    You are an inspiration, Knorpp family -- especially you, Megan. You're an influencer in the best sense of the word, influencing people to try to be their best selves and try things that otherwise might feel too scary to pursue.

  • @Editproductions17
    @Editproductions17 7 лет назад

    You have a gorgeous singing voice! You should sing more often on the vlogs! :) Costco and a van, two things to make you feel more like home. Drones make such gorgeous videos, especially when used in all the places you will be visiting, including the amazing country side. They give an entirely different perspective and you can have the older kids do the footage as your hands are full taking care of the younger kids. I would be very tempted to get one if I were you. Good to see you feel happier. It's very difficult living in a foreign country. My family and I immigrated to the US when I was 10 years old and it was a great challenge for all of us. My 18 year old brother had the most difficult time and wanted to go back home, but we endured the long period of adjustment and eventually it got better. It helped a lot being around other Russian people, as that's where we are from, so it's understandably difficult for you to be surrounded by people you don't know and who don't speak English. With every change there is always an adjustment period.

  • @islagraham4288

    so glad you guys are feeling better, I'm personally not religious but I think it's quite beautiful how your religion can lift your spirits in times when you're feeling low, looking forward to maybe seeing you come to the uk? Make sure you don't just limit yourself to London though, the countryside is just stunning here!! X

    I just have to say, that you and your family continue to impress me. You are living the life I would love to live. After the last video, the comments that some people left, left me feeling sickened at how people were treating you. I have never even met you. It is unlikely that I will. But I respect you and your family for doing what is best for your family no matter what other people are saying. When my daughter is no longer a minor, hopefully she and I will be able to travel and learn about the world like we have always wanted to do. She wants to serve a mission for our church, but then after that and in between school hopefully we will get a couple opportunities. I wish it could be now and constant travel while "homeschooling", but I am very thankful for all we do have and can do. Count your blessings! :)

    Hey I guess you won't be in France that much longer but they have a system for the tolls where you can buy this device hat you stick in your window which allows you to go through the t line and it automatically allows you through with out cash or having to stop, you just slow down a bit and then the barrier lifts. Its called sanef tolling and can be used in lots of European countries.

    My friend & her hubby who have been to Paris & France 5 times have not had problems with people being rude. This was the same experience for me but we tried to always greet people and be polite. The extent of my French was "Hello." "How are you today?" Then, "Do you speak English?" Lol Most would reply "A little." and tried to be helpful.
    Once, when I was in Paris looking at a map in the subway area, a woman came up to me and went out of her way to help me with directions.
    All I have to say are good things about the French people. And, I can't wait to go back!!!
    My one caution would be the gypsies. Please ask your hosts to explain how to handle them. i.e. don't let them put any jewelry on your wrists.

    If you guys go to Ireland, you should take the kids on the coast near Le Havre before you do, you can go to Aromanche and see the different war beaches from D day or go to Etretat and see the beautiful cliffs but also the bunkers from the war. I've grown up in Le Havre, it was fun to see you mention it...

    • @goodhelloeveryone7313
      @goodhelloeveryone7313 7 лет назад +2

      Also Le Havre is celebrating its 500 years this year and there are tons of celebrations such as the giants walking in town (type Le Havre royal deluxe on google you will see! it's incredible). The city was completely rebuilt after WW2 because the Brits have bombed it to get the germans, it is now part of the UNESCO list because of the city center. It is also fairly English speak friendly because of all the Brits crossing there

    "Le Ahvre" :-) fun to see you guys interacting as a couple ... and it is true that the stops on the autoroute have GREAT food choices. :-) bienvenue à mon pays adopté

    You're making me miss France so much! I was there for a week with my aunt and uncle. Want to go back badly

    Megan, I believe you about the gas station food! We found the same thing in Ireland. There are nice gas stations right off the interstate with some pretty impressive food!
