Who we are and why we do it?
Well... once upon a time we found ourselves living what was the great Australian dream. A house, good job, kids but something wasn't quite right.... we wanted more and wanted to explore more. We didnt want to be stuck in the house, there was always something to fix, a lawn to mow, a job to do and it never felt like anything was complete. Not to mention, all this time was spent doing these things and not spending time with the kids.
Around this time I had watched the movie "Minimalists". This definitely got my brain thinking about how much "stuff" we had. The crazy thing is it wasn't that long prior to that moment that we had been backpacking for a year, we had gotten home owning a 65ltr backpack and a laptop, now we had filled a house with so much stuff it was bursting at the seams. This stuff was cluttering up our lives and felt like it was suffocating us.
We decided that was it, let's live a version of the Minimalist lifestyle. We brought a Caravan and proceeded to sell everything we owned and took it down to a caravan. The goal "sell everything and travel australia". We got around a year into this plan and decided that travel in South East Asia would be a better idea. It would be cheaper and we could go further.... thats where it started
