I became a member of VFMW early on! As a RN, concerned about my patients, family, and friends in the early days of COVID, this group gave me an escape. Something to enjoy, smile, and dream about as COVID really began to change our world!! Thank you to all the people that posted from all over the world, it’s been wonderful looking through your window!! And thank you to the admins, for are your time and effort, to get the posts out to share! I will miss VFMW, you helped to get me through the pandemic! But I purchased the two books, so will always have the memories!!

Thanks for giving us a peek into other parts of the world. ❤️

Traveling the world through everyone’s eyes has made the world feel a bit smaller and full of incredible humanity. Thanks to all who shared.

What a wonderful experience this has been. To see the world through everyone's eyes and hear the stories, has been a joy. Thank you for all the good you have done to show us how alike we all are.

I really loved this page. Sorry to see it go x

I joined when VFMW first started. I loved the connection to other people around the world who were going through the same thing - the pandemic. I have loved “traveling” the world. I will miss this exceptional site. Thank you so much for providing VTMW.

I have loved the posts in this group. I wish the admins had allowed responses to those from Russia - you could have been a rare way for Russians to learn the truth about what their country is doing and how they are perceived. A missed opportunity.

I will never forget the feeling of warmth and inclusion on VFMW. We were connected by Covid, but in a positive and supportive way. You took me all around the world to homes, backyards and scenery I would never have seen otherwise. Sharing something worldwide will always leave a special place in my heart. Thank you Barbara.

Mille mercis, Barbara, de nous avoir tenus éveillés pendant 3 ans. Juste au moment où nous nous sentions si seuls. Qui aurait pu croire que, moi, petite Belge, j’échange rais des paroles avec des gens du monde entier? J’ai adoré visiter (c’est le mot) la Nouvelle Zélande, l’Australie, l’Afrique du Sud et tous nos pays du nord de l’Europe. J’ai acheté les 2 livres, téléchargé le résumé. Le souvenir qui me restera toujours est ce dialogue, en plein covid avec une infirmière londonienne qui avait pris un appartement juste en face de l’hôpital où elle empêchait les gens de mourir. Elle voulait être plus près d’eux. Encore une fois, merci encore, Barbara ainsi qu’à ton équipe. Nous sommes tous fiers de cette expérience. Je t’embrasse.

I looked forward to all the wonderful views throughout my day. Everyone was so kind, it always brightened my day. My post included our most loved pup Annabell and was liked over 10,000 times. Thinking about it always made me smile, we lost her in December 2022, I'm so glad I was able to share her with all of you. Thank you for all the hard work that went into letting us share our views with the world. You have been so much appreciated. I hope your next chapter is as rewarding for you as this one has been for the thousands of hearts you have warmed.
