    After an incredible 3 years of living, working and travelling in our self converted Sprinter Van we’ve had to make the very tough decision to abandon our tiny home in Africa to take a rescue flight back to Canada. As it has for so, so many of us, this global pandemic has absolutely flipped our world upside down. What went from a virus that seemed far away in China, quickly made it’s way across the globe forcing us to quarantine in our 60 sq-ft in Morocco. And while quarantining was going well for us it became apparent that things would be different for a long while. When our Prime Minister announced that he was sending repatriation flights over to Africa to pick up Canadians who were stuck (due to border closures) we consulted with friends and family closest to us and realized that in this time of crisis we should be back in our home country. The gravity of what we’ve just done hasn’t quite sunk in and we ((especially me (Bec)) are having a really hard time adjusting to our new reality. Having said that we think the most important thing we can all do now is STAY HOME, keep healthy with healing foods & try to look at this as a time that we (and the planet) desperately needed to reset and realign. Sending each of you so much love throughout this time x

    OVERLANDING AFRICA IN OUR SPRINTER VAN has been the adventure we’ve always hoped it would be but it’s hard to predict what happens next. In fact, we are still processing everything that has happened over the last week and continues to happen... No one knows where we will end up, where our beloved tiny home on wheels will make it or for how long this pandemic will take over life as we know but all we can do is try to remain positive and move forward in the direction that feels right for us. We hope you are all keeping safe during this time ❤️.

The people here have been so kind to us and even bought us extra food today. For the moment our around the world drive is on pause but most importantly we haven't lost our sense of humour !!

    Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. So loved, so missed, so very dear.
    Take your time. We lost our son the same way. Not the exact same but the choosing. And to make that choice is something we don’t understand. 11 yrs later & everyone saying it gets easier, no. You just get use to carrying the pain/hurt. Probably as we are meant to after a lot of reflection, being grateful for the little things. Not understanding the choices someone else would make but learning to respect.. Understanding with help how I never had a clue until hindsight. Which will eat you up. Every single hair on your head was accounted for before you were born. The dragonfly in basement stairs got me. It’s the little things that let you know life goes on, beyond us. My heart and prayers go to her family so very much. Hang tight you two and never stop communicating.

You're complete lack of respect and your monumental ignorance doesn't save lives. It endangers them and takes them. They're endangering an entire continent. They decided to go drive around a whole different continent and come in contact with a whole bunch of people for months and months before they decided that they maybe should heed the warnings and make a responsible decision. But at that point that is not all responsible choice at all. They're literally endangering millions if not billions of people. I'm not exaggerating that and I'm not making those figures up they're literally being reported on by global news sources on the hour every hour. It's not my fault that you're choosing to ignore that but it's my responsibility to try to prevent you from acting so recklessly because it's literally my life and my family's life that you're endangering if you're making those kind of selfish decisions. Just because you follow somebody doesn't make them god.

      Bug Features I did not mean ‘home’ as a physical building but ‘home’ as in the place where you have equal rights to food and healthcare. The question is where do you want to get sick (and possibly end up in hospital) and where do you want to possibly run out of food? In another country where you have little to no support or in you ‘home’ country that has a responsibility to assist you? Also, it’s one thing to get sick in for example London if you are not from there and it is a whole other thing to get sick in Africa if you are not from there - I say this as a South African...the healthcare systems in most African countries where struggling before the Coronavirus, I don’t want to know what the pandemic is going to do to them
