Not too way back on our Fb net web page I was requested: How does a journey blogger similar to you rejoice a birthday? What a perfect question! And by no means only for birthdays, nonetheless anniversaries and milestones?
I indicate everytime you journey the world day-after-day what do this stuff seem to be?
Wedding ceremony ceremony Anniversary
For our bridal ceremony anniversary Josh and I benefit from to go away yearly. I indicate, everytime you work a 9-to-5 job these are the holidays we appeared forward to celebrating. We honeymooned in Thailand and yearly after that went someplace completely completely different to rejoice.
Then we started travelling and out of the blue there was so much additional stress on making it bigger than what we’d already been doing all 12 months.
I indicate, if by the 12 months you waterslide with sharks, scorching air ballooned over Turkey and lay on a seashore in Greece how do you prime that for an anniversary?
And it hit us.
You don’t.
Our whole life is one enormous journey now and we’re okay with that. It doesn’t have to be one journey, one second, one time a 12 months. We do all of it 12 months spherical. So all 12 months is our anniversary.
Birthdays
Birthdays are comparable. Nevertheless we nonetheless want to be sure that we rejoice each specific individual as so much as we’re capable of to remember the day of their starting. I indicate that’s what birthdays are about. We wouldn’t have what now we’ve with out the people in our lives. And nothing is additional important to us than family.
So how do the travelling Benders prefer to rejoice?
Josh
A hammock & a milkshake
Josh’s favourite technique to rejoice his birthday is in a hammock. As long as I’ve recognized him he’s adored them. We use to have one in our yard. Now he prefers them in distinctive locations like Bali or Greece.
As for milkshakes – he’s obsessed. And there are lots of places the place good dairy merchandise are arduous to hunt out. Boxed UHT milk should not be the an identical as latest milk. And he would pay $10 for a milkshake in Guatemala merely to point out spherical and have a second.
You assume journey photos is his forte? You have to have missed the alternative title on his enterprise card – “Expert milkshake connoisseur”.

Naked & in mattress
We journey so normally and to so many places that proper now in my life doing NOTHING is what’s specific for me. So this 12 months for my birthday that’s exactly what I did. My stunning husband served me breakfast and lunch in mattress whereas defending the children out of my room and the door shut. I watched a movie, be taught my e-book and really did nothing. Heaven.
2013 we visited 28 nations and 2014 we did in regards to the an identical, so you need to realise how specific nothing actually is.
Mia
Explicit places (Disneyland, Water park or Theme park)
Mia’s idea of a perfect birthday is doing one factor specific. And although we visited Disneyland or Moist ‘n Wild or Peppa Pig World as get collectively of our frequent every day life, she nonetheless loves going someplace specific.
In 2014 we made plans for Mia to go to Drayton Manor to fulfill Santa and play at ThomasLand. She moreover requested to go to the cinema, which we not typically get to do since most nations play kids movement footage inside the native language (reasonably than English). Yay for being within the UK on her birthday!

Opening presents
True for most kids, nonetheless far more so for ours. We don’t buy a great deal of stuff since we dwell out of a suitcase. One thing we purchase is often a necessity to trade one different worn out merchandise, which could be discarded. So as soon as they acquired pointless objects just for the pleasurable of match, it truly means one factor.
The right issue about travelling together with your family members regularly is getting a clear understanding of who they’re as a person. The bonding that varieties from years of journey has helped me see each particular person in my family, practically strolling of their pores and pores and skin. And it’s in these moments that I realise if we love doing nothing for our birthday or going nowhere for our anniversary it’s because of I’m already dwelling a dream life.
