    Hey team, followed your journey and what a journey it has been.
    One thing that surprised me was the honesty in your financial situation planning your trip. What an inspiration this is for many viewers.
    Enjoy your travels with your little man who has grown up so much since departure day.
    God bless you all and maybe our paths will cross one day.
    Regards,
    Mike " Old Fella's Travels"

    What a sensational mini series guys, Ep1 is ticked off for me however I’ll be kicking back to rewatch with the wife.
    We’ve made the decision that it’s time for the travelling life for our little family of 3, with our son just having turned 3. We’ve got 6months to plan as we’ve just listed our Melbourne home in the market then Jan 2023 we’re on the road. Our new tow vehicle arrives this week and we’ve secured our new 19.6ft home.
    Makes me feel even better that all my planning to date lines up with your advice…so far…however I’ve certainly picked up a few extra tips from the first ep already!
    May see you guys out there!

    Thankyou so much, can't wait to watch more. Im in my two year planning phase and am focused on being debt free before I go so I am going to take your ideas and go and get my self a white board so I can tick off my little steps towards my goal. I am currently taking the steps but don't have anything to tick off, I think this will make a huge difference to my level of motivation and happiness. I am also going to live my life as if I was in my motorhome. Thanks again

    Have you "ICE'd" your phones? The Police have a way to access locked phones so, in case of an emergency, they will look for the letters ICE in front of the names & numbers of people you would like contacted. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency & makes their job much easier.
    A handy Ap is: Emergency Plus which gives you information which you may give to the emergency services to locate you.

    Another Great Episode and some Great Tips for Planning my Big Lap, i Decluttered some of my Van before my Last Trip and unfortunately some items i removed i shouldn't have. Ie- Jack Stands, i Set of Wheel Bearings and Spare Wheel Hub , Leaf Spring Holder Spare Brake Line. Lucky the NRMA helped out but in hindsight it was my mistake (You need plenty of Spares when towing a 1972 Wood framed Van around especially on Dirt Roads) cant wait to see next weeks Episode

Tbh I won’t be buying a renovators delight most require way too much work and are leaking messes. These leaky vans are selling for over 20k which is just not good investment. So I shall wait it out for now. Hopefully closer to the end of the year things may look better and I would have saved a lot more.

You are an inspiration to be doing this on your own! I remember looking at our debt and thinking how will this ever happen…. those small daily steps really do add up in the end 🙏💙

      @@TheFeelGoodFamily oh yes it’s those baby steps. I think if anyone is doing this you need to remember to cut yourself some slack. I paid down 25k in credit card debt 8k car loan and have now saved 28k in 2 years so I always have to remind myself of that. It’s hard when you feel static that’s when you need to give yourself a pat on the back to keep focused on the big goal. I have no doubt we will get there it’s learning to be patient that’s the hardest part. In the meantime we will just go on mini holidays with our tents which we love btw
