Wow @dardi. Sounds like you guys must be having so much fun. So much better then being stuck in a classroom

It has been an awesome adventure! It was a big decision to leave it all and hit the road...Left the Nursing career of 23yrs, hubby his 2 businesses, rented out the house, moved into a caravan and 2 yrs later the kiddies have experienced and learnt so much! It is almost time now to return to school and home, and a career change lol..

That is amazing....so many people don't do the things they actually want to do as they think they are tied down to school, work etc but we can make changes that let us experience some of the things we want to do....and you can always come back, right. We are pretty keen on the homeschooling scenario too :)

Our kids are going back to school the begining of next year. Yrs 4,6 and 11. Having done homeschooling while travelling, I now wouldn't hesitate to HS again if for eg. bullies become an issue.
Work will just be tricky :)
I heard a saying ages ago..If you don't like where you are 'leave' you are not a tree! Lol...Travelling is not something everyone wants to do, but we did, so we did it why our health enabled us too, time and time again you hear of retiree's not making their trip..
