Away We Go
2009 · Film · 98 min
Directed by Sam Mendes
Verona and Burt have moved to Colorado to be close to Burt's parents but, with Verona expecting their first child, Burt's parents inexplicably decide to move to Belgium, now leaving them in a place they hate and without a support structure in place. They set off on a whirlwind tour of of disparate locations where they have friends or relatives, sampling not only different cities and climates but also different families. Along the way they realize that the journey is less about discovering where they want to live and more about figuring out what type of parents they want to be.

Just curious, which family in the film are you referring to? I only have a vague recall of them.
We've been traveling the world since May 1st 2010, and have used it wherever we can (Vancouver, Melbourne, Thailand, ...).
It's a great idea, love it, and don't want to say anything too negative (it has far more going for it than against it). However, the one problem is that it's quite difficult to leave negative comments about anywhere. One of the places we stayed in... well... the room was great, but the people we shared the place with were NUTS! If you've ever seen the film Away We Go, well, one of the families in that film were the spitting image.
Anyway, we couldn't leave negative feedback for them because then they could leave negative feedback about us! (Although we'd been the perfect guests...). So you just end up leaving no feedback at all, which is what I have to guess all other previous guests of these people did: they talked about many previous guests, but still had 0 reviews / feedback.
