One family of five who call themselves ‘wanderlusters' have been travelling the whole world as they are focused on adventure and travel to all of their bucket list destinations. “We are a family of five, Jolene (Mum), Andrzej (Dad), Katie-Lee, Lily Anabella and Avalee-Rose (our three daughters),” they told us. The family shares their journeys on their Wanderlust Storytellers blog that brings enthusiasm and excitement back to family-focused travel.

With so much hands-on experience and knowledge of various cultures, Bored Panda reached out to them to share their impressions of Europe and how it differs from all the other corners of the world they’ve visited. “Europe is a world in itself, full of culture, music and friendly people,” they said and added that “It is filled to the brim with history, delicious food, fascinating architecture and extraordinary sight-seeing.”

After stepping in the box, the sow lost speed and dropped the bag reuniting the man with his laptop and providing mankind with some really hysterical pictures.

Most likely to discourage German bomber crews. It didn't protect them completely though as Dublin was bombed (accidentally).

Most (upon their personal assurance and personal guarantee that they wouldn't do a runner) were allowed out of camp - even down to the pub in the evening! How civilized!
