I'm a middle aged accounting tutor looking for my own mild adventures with my other half before it's too late..... I took the plunge and organised a year long sabbatical in 2017 (a year with no pay!!), sold the house and my car and am ready to go :) Towards the end of my year off I decided to give up full time work completely and go freelance to enable us to travel more :) So far, so good!

‘Never go on trips with anyone you do not love’ – Ernest Hemingway

So true!!

The latest update in our travelling life is that we are currently incapable…. :(

We have sold our van!! It now lives in Ireland with a new family.

We thought that we would be able to find the van we wanted relatively easily (and certainly before we were meant to leave for Scotland). However, this has not proved to be the case – much to the amusement of many of our friends and family!!

We’re still looking but refuse to over-compromise as we expect to keep the van we buy for up to 10 years – so it matters that we get the right one.

Therefore we are resigned to the fact that we will probably not get to Scotland this year and may not actually managed to get a new van until September/October time. (If the right van comes our way in the meantime though we will be off!)

We will most definitely be setting off for Europe at the beginning of November, and I will be continuing to update the blog in the meantime :)
