Why traveling has made me an atheist

We should be at Kuala Lumpa airport right now on our way back to China. Instead, we seem to have embarked on an impromptu digital nomadic life.... this Coronavirus stuff is scary, really scary. I won’t put my baby girls on the front line. They are my world and I will protect them with all I have. For now, that means staying away from China. Right now we are still recovering from flu on the beautiful Langkawi Island (not that we have seen much of it- more in my stories). Next, we plan to travel north into Thailand stopping first for a couple of days on Koh Lipe and then finding a suitable work-from-home accommodation on Koh Lanta. #coronavirus #expatfamily #expatinchina #hangzhouexpat #digitalnomad #familytravelblogger #wuhanvirus #stayingawayfromchina #prayforwuhan ...

This is China, the place that we have called our home for the past few months. This is where Isla became the confident little girl that she now is. This is where baby Saya has spent more than half of her life. This is the place that we have made our home. I am very sad to see the panic amongst fellow expats and locals who live there right now. I am fearful that the economy will crash. I am worried that more people will get sick. This is a sad time. Fortunately, we were not in the country when news broke of the new Coronavirus broke. We were in Malaysia. Even here many people are wearing masks. People cross the street if they see a Chinese person walking towards them and people have a look of panic on their faces when we tell them that we live in China. This is not a time to ostracise people. This is a time to team together and to beat this virus. Today has been marked as the deadliest day for the virus. It’s scary, yes. BUT please don’t believe everything that you read, because there are many fake facts being shared around social media etc. There are almost 10,000 cases of the virus that have been identified now, predominantly in China. There are 65 cases reported in our home, Hangzhou. My heart goes out to those who are stuck in Wuhan and other areas with limited healthcare facilities and supplies. China, we love you, but we cannot bring our babies back until it is safe. For now, we will be working from home in Malaysia. For all those in China now, stay safe xxx #china #coronavirus #wuhanvirus #wuhancoronavirus #staysafeeveryone #prayforwuhan #expatinchina #hangzhouexpatlife ... See MoreSee Less
