Interviews: Christmas with the Gumbis: Part I

The ZAlebs team got to hang out with Trevor Gumbi and his family to find out what they will be up to this festive season. 

The Gumbis are not your average family, so it makes sense that they would not celebrate Christmas the traditional way. 

They have spent the holidays abroad over the past few years, and gave us the scoop on what they will be doing this year. 

The Gumbis will be spending Christmas in the Philippines, and will visit four amazing countries in total during their holiday travels.

So what is it like travelling with the Gumbi clan?

“Travelling with the whole family is chaotic. I am a very organised person, and none of these people are organised – at all,” Trevor told ZAlebs. 

“I am never late; I don’t know where he gets that,” his wife Lucille said. 

Their son Jodie chipped in: “When you (Trevor) need to go to work in the morning, you’re just too lazy, and just carry on sleeping. The last time you said give me 10 minutes, and you were already late.”

Oh dear! 

Christmas beds, family onesies, and swimming with the dolphins; find out what else is on the Gumbis’ exciting festive season itinerary.
