All of a sudden our dream is becoming a reality and our to-do list has extended to a mile long! We are not just selling the house, but practically everything in it too! Plus the cars (to buy a 4WD), and we are yet to buy our caravan! We need to de-clutter the house, photograph and advertise everything, ...& then it is a waiting game until it sells! Oh, and then there are all the autumn leaves to collect from our garden! We regrettably didn't get on top of them before winter hit and so now we have a garden of WET autumn leaves to pick up!
We met a bunch of real estate agents and all of a sudden things feel very real! It is exciting yet daunting! Tony has a little over a week left of work, and then it really will be real! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
When not talking house and the practicalities of getting ready to leave, we distract ourselves with places to visit and pinning red markers on our google map! It is nice not to have a set itinerary. Hopefully we'll get to see as many of those points as possible, but no matter what it will be so liberating to just travel a little way at a time, and to extend our stay at the places we like and move on from the ones we don't! Then there is just finding work! I hope we will gain some farming experience in addition to learning how to self-build a house too.
I forgot to mention it, but that was a major reason for us finally deciding to go on this trip too - that we want to build our own house (ourselves) when we get back! With the view of living a more sustainable, environmentally friendly, chemical free & simple life. So that helped us make the decision to sell now. It is exciting to have goals to work towards & to look towards a bright, comfortable, happy future that is debt free (hopefully, or almost at least!)
