Life as a Traveling Family

In 2024, Brad and I started living fulltime on the Road as we took our 4 kids around Australia. Here is a sample of the life we’re living.

Support On The Road : The Local Church

I am so grateful for the people, inside the churches that we have visited so far on our travels.

I wanted to share this because churches can be a great resources for travelling families. There are a lot of misconceptions regarding Christian Churches and I wanted to set the records straight so that others can benefit from this amazing resource we have in local towns that we visit across Australia.

What I wish I knew before we did the Dinosaur trail in Winton.

I must admit, during my time researching about the dinosaur trail, I found it hard to locate the information I needed and I spent a lot of time online trying to plan our days and piece together the must see activities at each location.

There was so much that I wish I had known when I arrived at each of the attractions that would have been helpful to know beforehand to make our day more enjoyable.

How much does it cost me NOT living on the road?

I see a lot of posts that ask how you can fund living on the road full time?.

I also see a lot of social media post that ask for the breakdown of cost so they can get a visual on what expenses there might be whilst travelling full time.

This is ALL very important research and I definitely agree, that planning to do such a huge lifestyle change needs to have careful thought, planning and consideration….

However…..

can I challenge you to look at things from another angle?

Rather than looking at the costs that COME WITH living full time on the road, maybe look at the cost that YOU WON’T HAVE anymore, once you hit the road full time.

We can’t do this… Can we?

I can almost guarantee that there is not one family on the road, who casually strutted into this lifestyle with little to no worries about whether it was the right thing to do.

We had 4 kids under 10, a beautiful home we had just spent 5 years renovating, great job, our kids were in a fantastic school, why on earth did we up and move into a caravan???
