From an office to the open road
We are Paul and Annie. In mid-2020 we were living happily on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. We made the decision to sell all of our possessions and chase a fulltime travel lifestyle in a caravan. Unlike many other travellers, we didn’t seem to spend a lot of time deciding and researching. The decision seemed almost a natural change to us, as we both love travelling and sharing most of our time together. Fair to say though, some ongoing work pressures helped bring forward our decision!
Annie has country hopped a few times
Annie was born in Uganda, & stayed there until she was 3 years old. She moved back to England with her parents and spent her youth years there. Another country change resulted in almost 20 years living in her beloved South Africa.
Annie definitely enjoys the three Fs in life. FAMILY – FLOWERS – FUN. All with lots of smiles & energy.
She has a long work history in financial management. This brought the pressure of long working hours, but also rewards & success. The chance to escape those pressures & enjoy full time travelling was a great choice!
Paul emigrated from England
Arriving in Australia as a young lad, he spent his childhood years relocating regularly around Queensland. He is constantly chasing the fish “that got away”, but loves the challenge.
Paul spent 40 years with airline & logistic companies ( TAA and Qantas mostly) based in Brisbane & Wollongong. His operational management roles involved 24/7 shift work & interstate travel away from home. A travel background made this lifestyle change a perfect fit!
A simple recipe that works for us.
So what do we like to do? Spending time with family and grandkids, definitely. ( this is harder as we travel more) Getting outside and walking, cycling or 4wd driving – yes. Love to travel and explore – yes again. If it’s fun, active and healthy we love it. Choosing a fulltime life on the road is allowing us all sorts of new experiences and rewards. We keep our approach to life simple – no real secrets to our happiness.
This lifestyle we have chosen is a simple recipe that works for us. Nothing fancy really & no real secrets to our happiness.
Maintaining positive mindsets is very important to us, & understanding that we attract what we think.
We are grateful for the simple pleasures and rewards in life. No time for negative influences here!
We look forward to sharing more travel experiences & tips with you – Paul & Annie 🙂
