Thank you so much, Sarah and Steve! You're absolutely right- house sitting with Theo definitely gave us that cozy, 'home' feeling, which, as you know, is so refreshing after being on the road for so long. It’s always nice to take a breather and enjoy those little moments that make it feel like we're settled, even if just for a while. We really appreciate your support, and it's great to connect with fellow full-time travelers! Your travels look incredible! All our best, Menekse and James
Thank you so much, Jori and Austin! Your support means the world to us, especially knowing how much we admire your own house sitting adventures. We’re so glad you enjoyed the video, and it’s always a joy to connect with fellow house sitters who truly get the experience. Can’t wait to see where your next sit takes you! Thanks again, Menekse and James
Thank you so much, Sarah! 🧡 Theo really is such a fun and energetic boy - he kept us entertained the entire time! We're so glad it shows how much fun we had together. House-sitting with him is always so much fun, and we feel so fortunate to spend time with him! Hope you enjoyed watching the video as much as we enjoyed creating it! Thanks again, your support means so much to us! Menekse and James
Thanks so much, Jon! Your support from day one has meant everything to us. We're so happy that you enjoyed this stop on our journey-there are plenty more adventures to come, and we're glad to have you along every step of the way! 🚀 All our best, Menekse and James
Felt like we were on your journey with you- well done👏🏻 but just wondering who hit the golf balls into the plant pot! Some stunning architecture too- such an interesting place
Thank you, Sarah and Steve! We’re so glad you felt like you were right there with us-that’s exactly what we hoped for! 😄 As for those golf balls in the plant pot, let’s just say our aim was a bit off that day! 😂 The architecture in Suwon really is special, and we’re so happy that you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks for coming along on our adventure! Menekse and James
Thank you so much! Your support means the world to us. We're so glad you’re enjoying the journey with us 😊 We’re definitely loving yours!! Happy travels to you both!
Your journey is one of a kind! For some reason this one hit me hard, and no I'm not cutting onions but I'm truly tearing up.. So heartfelt, beautyful and gripping! Love it!
Hello Brian, Wow, your comment truly touched us-thank you so much! It means the world to know that our journey resonates with you. We pour our hearts into our videos, so to hear that it moved you is incredibly special. We’re so grateful to have you with us on this adventure.

Ohh! What a cute, quaint little coffee shop. The food looked delicious 😋. What a beautiful place to visit. Thanks for taking us along on this journey 🤗🩵💎
Hello Crystal! Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed the glimpse into that charming coffee shop-it was such a cozy spot, and the food was absolutely delicious! 🥪😊 Suwon is indeed a beautiful place, and we're thrilled to have you along on our journey.

Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir unser Video gefällt. Wir werden auf jeden Fall so weitermachen. Liebe Grüße und bussi 🥰 Menekse und James
Thanks so much, Jon, it really was a blast! There aren’t many full time residents on Udo Island, so there aren’t many cars, which made our e-bike ride even more enjoyable. It felt like we had the whole island to ourselves! We know somebody who would love to ride his bike here! 😉 Thanks again, Menekse and James
Vielen Dank, Gretel und Dieter! Es freut uns sehr, dass ihr unsere Erlebnisse mitverfolgt und euch mit uns freut. Eure Unterstützung bedeutet uns sehr viel. Liebe Grüße nach Deutschland!
Thank you so much! Koh Samui is such a beautiful place to explore, and we're so glad you enjoyed the video. Have you ever visited Samui, or do you have a favorite spot in Thailand?
What a great idea to rent scooters, much easier and I cant wait for us to get home to get the motorbike out again! Great video and now on our bucket list - thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much Sarah and Steve- Koh Samui is a tropical paradise, and has a decent golf course as well 😀 Let us know if you want to trade Andy in for a couple of scooters 🤣🤣 All our best, Menekse and James
@@putteringaroundtheworld Sarah’s been to many states and traveled around each one but not as a complete journey- not sure they will let Andi the land in there though!
@@putteringaroundtheworld that does sound amazing- so many good golf courses played already but just a mere drop in the ocean compared to yourselves I’m sure
Like yourselves, we consider ourselves very fortunate to do what we’re doing! We are kicking around some ideas for next year and throwing our golf clubs in a van and touring the UK is high on our list 😀
Thank you so much, Jon! We love discovering and sharing these incredible places, and it means so much to us that you're enjoying our adventures. 😀 All our very best, Menekse and James
G’day Sergej, The wildlife in Australia is truly one of a kind- and Kangaroo Island is a beautiful place to see both koalas and kangaroos in the wild 😀 Cheers mate, Menekse and James
Hello Sergej, Thank you so much for your feedback, we sincerely appreciate it! We are new to RU-vid and are always looking to improve our videos. We’re hopeful that audio has gotten better in our more recent videos, and would love to hear your thoughts mate! Cheers, Menekse and James
Hello Sarah, Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Newspaper Rock is truly fascinating and is absolutely worth a visit while you’re at Canyonlands. When you get the chance to see it in person, we're sure you'll be amazed by the ancient petroglyphs. 😀 Happy travels! Menekse and James
Thank you so much, Jon! We love discovering and sharing these incredible places, and it means so much to us that you're enjoying our adventures. 😀 All our very best, Menekse and James
Otherworldly! I've been to many parks in Utah, but not this one. I'll add it to my "want to go" list, thanks for the tip! Have you been to Goblin Valley?
Hello Sarah, Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video. Red Canyon truly is an otherworldly gem, and you'll love it when you visit! We haven't made it into Goblin Valley yet, but it's definitely on our list too! Utah has so many incredible state parks, and we couldn't agree more - it's worth getting a state park pass to explore them all. We'll definitely be back to experience more of what Utah has to offer. Thanks for the tip, and happy travels! All our best, Menekse and James
Thank you so much, Jon!! Red Rocks is truly an incredible place. We had an amazing time there and are glad the video could capture just a little bit of its magic. You guys need to add Red Rocks to your travel list 😀 All our best, Menekse and James

Oh wow, thank you SO MUCH Josh!!!! Even though we didn’t do much of Angles Landing, the entire hike was incredible, and we’re really proud of us for trying! We’re not promising to do it again though 🤣 Thank you so much for your comment- we are huge fans of your travels and channel and your encouragement really means the world to us 🙏🙏 Yours in travel, Menekşe and James
Hello Pops! I must say that I have a big fear of heights. But watching you make it up Walter’s Wiggles with Josh gave me the confidence I needed along the trail to complete the hike. Thank you for being the inspiration I needed to make it to the top ❤️ Yours in travel, Menekşe and James
Wow, that’s really awesome!! Did you name him after the Canyon? It must have a deep meaning to you 👍 Thank you for sharing your story! Menekşe and James
The Peekaboo in combination with the Navajo Trail is beautiful, and you and your family will love it! Actually, all the National Parks in Utah are stunning and we hope that you will be able to go explore them all!! Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏 Menekşe and James
So true!! Our plan was to drive across the US, and then we made it to Utah and stayed- it was simply gorgeous there!!! Thank you so much Layne for all your support, it means so much to us 🙏🙏 Yours in travel, Menekşe and James
It was a fantastic trip, thanks Jon 🙏🙏🙏 There is a string of 4 or 5 holes at Cape Wickham that are just outstanding- you would love them!!! Thanks so much, Menekse and James
We really look forward to that too- we have a great list of courses in Denmark that we want to play!! Thank you as always for all your support 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Yours in golf and travel, Menekse and James
Hi Manal, We’re not residents of Australia, and therefore aren’t qualified to comment on local or domestic issues. However, for us, Kangaroo Island is one of the most beautiful places in the world! Thank you for watching! Yours in golf and travel, Menekse and James
Hi Simon, Even worse, I tripped and fell just walking down the street 😝 I better stay on the golf course, so if I fall, at least I fall in the soft grass 🤣
Hi Angela, Wow, 4th generation KI- that is wonderful!!! You live in an amazing corner of the world!! Thank you so much for watching 😀 Yours in travel, Menekse and James
You would absolutely LOVE the golf course!!! And, we might have had the entire course to ourselves because we didn't see anybody else out there!!! Thanks so much for watching! Menekse and James
Thank you Les and Bernadette- we haven't played Whistling Straits yet, but hope to in 2024. We'll meet you in Sheboygan!!!! All our best, Menekse and James
The cars are packed in there that’s for sure! But the staff directs the drivers one at a time during the loading process, so it isn’t as difficult as it looks 😄 Thanks for watching!! Menekse & James
Thanks for including us in your review Meneske and James! We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Lonsdale Links. We look forward to having you back again one day!!
Hello Lonsdale Links, Thank you so much for your hospitality! The golf course was in pristine condition and we were treated like life long members by your wonderful staff every step of the way! Yours in golf and travel, Menekse and James
It's a couple of yes's from me, James and Menekse. It's a yes to your question and a yes to the quality of your review, great stuff. Keep on puttering!
Thanks so much Tony!!! it's definitely a big yes to the question from us as well 😀 Looking forward to getting back down and playing some more golf together mate 👏👏👏
