Life is just one big ad-venture...well, that’s how we see it!
Join us as we start our next venture - exploring in our own ‘backyard’!! Having drawn so much inspiration from fellow travelling families, we got a taste of the diverse and jaw-dropping places Australia has to offer. We both grew up camping and caravanning in the UK, and with myself (Sarah) working in the industry, we knew we just had to ‘lap up’ this amazing country in a caravan! We’ve come a long way since 2003...
Flashback to a young, early twenty-something couple, who believed their paths were destined to cross, leading them to explore everything life has to offer and squeezing every drop out of it! Since that night 16+ years ago, we have packed in a fair old bit. After hanging up our boots in various roles including a trans-Atlantic flight attendant and cabinet maker, we’ve travelled the world together (well, a good chunk of it) with our trusty back-packs, moved across the globe from the UK to sunny Pottsville in Australia, and had a complete change in careers. Soon to follow were two full-of-beans little unicorn/skateboard-loving girls, our Aussie Citizenship (hurrah!) and then the project of building our wonderful home from the ground up. Life was good, so good, and we loved Pottsville, our wonderful community, friends, friends-who-are-really-family, and having actual family back just around the corner - yeeehaa!
Fast forward to 2019, still soooo happy, but needing a change, a rest and reset, and a chance to peel back and experience more with our little girls whilst they are still small and still WANT to! We’d always dreamed of travelling this beautiful sunburnt land when we retired, as the grey nomads do, but a few things this past few years got us thinking....tomorrow is promised to nobody and we are just not the type to take this life in all it’s glory for granted. I for one, sure don't know if I’ll be able to tackle some of those off-the-beaten-track, must-see sights when I’m in my 70’s??! You’ve heard the saying ‘You can make more money, but you can never make more time’ and this is one that has always stuck with us. Don’t get us wrong, a Lotto win would be right up there (and we still hold out hope, and I am still in the work syndicate (thank you North Star!)), but you could be the richest man on the planet, and sadly be oh-so-poor in experiences and time. I could try and explain in a couple of paragraphs, but just can’t, and this is why we’re setting up a blog to catch my life time’s worth of ramblings!! Anyway.... in pursuit of fulfilling this dream a little earlier than we anticipated, we sold up and, before embarking on making another house our own, we decided to travel this amazing country we have called ‘home’ for the past 11 years. And we are SO. DAMN. PUMPED! “
Off-road Caravan - check, 4WD truck - check, Distance Education registration - check, oodles and oodles of man and woman-hours spent on planning the ‘perfect’ road trip experience - check! And aren't we lucky that this style of travelling is so widely embraced as an amazing education in itself for our children! We are still pinching ourselves!
