Home on the road away from home

Yes we are back. The smell of fresh air, the chillaxing back and taking in different scenic views. We restarted our vanlife off locally, our beautiful Whangarei. I've lived here since 2012 and there are still places I've never seen. So for the last two weekends we packed up the van and just stopped where we wanted, then we took a trip to Auckland to drop off Shaun for the holidays, so van life the weekend away.  Here's a little snap shot of the local area πŸ˜‰ Waipu Matauri Bay Stayed the nigt out at Te Pohe Whangarei We also cruised it down to Auckland where you'ld expect that to be the last place I'ld want to travel, but we made sure we stopped and visited places where it kept it exciting.

Back to Van Life Part Time

Kia ora All So it's been a while since I have been living in the van or even out and about. We moved into a rental, 1. Because my son wanted his own room and comfort of a house and 2. I wanted comfort of a home over Winter. We moved into our home in January by the beach. Beautiful home but notice the difference in paying rent. Still I did say we would van life till my kids said enough. But now we have the luxury of living next to the water and weekend get aways in the van. Exciting News, we will be doing weekend getaway every fortnight out in the Camper, traveling our north doing the freedom camping where I will document everything here. Capturing our beautiful natural country. With the van just fixed we are getting set this weekend to have a night away. Life of well-being is now the focus where I will still be saving for our own piece of paradise but travel our weekends on a budget. Van Life is so Freeing. Stay Tuned :)

Farewell 2017 & Kia ora 2018

I would just like to acknowledge and say Haere Ra 2017. You have given me strength, taught me about living in the moment and  appreciation. What I'm grateful about 2017 is living on the road, then moving onto a site during winter, creating memories, letting got of stuff, having $0 debt, becoming independent and having my family around me. 2017 you have been pretty awesome considering I was scared in the beginning, but we have ended the year in the most care free, awesomeness, true to myself, confident way with a vision of 2018 looking very bright. How did I enter 2018, well take a look at the pics. Freedom camped it - Happy New YearπŸŽ‰πŸŽ†πŸ’™
