Always Be Changing description on YouTube:

We’re the Lockwoods. And we’ve been traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

We loved every second of every adventure and expedition and excursion that we did on this trip. And my mom actually has experience with other Alaska cruises where they're just kind of a sail and see.

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

this is now my favorite experience so far that we've had on the ship was taking that hike and getting the ice on the way back

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

I am really really impressed and Blown Away with how much of Antarctica and how much diversity that we're seeing

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

this is my favorite vacation it's hard to beat

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

I really like the feel of HX's ships. It's this kind of Nordic or Scandern kind of thing. It's a huga style that just feels so warm and inviting.

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing
The Watch-outs

we were victims of fraud there was a fake website created and it mimicked it almost identically so we were fooled

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

i was terrified brooklyn was terrified we were getting sucked in by that current so hard

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

the current was way strong i can't believe what just happened yeah that was ridiculous

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

that was a bit scary um i felt fine until we got on the floor now and now i feel shaken up over it

🥉KnowledgeableAlways Be Changing

it didn't feel cold it was painful you got in it feels like your whole body went numb and then you get out and it feels like there's needles pushing in your skin
