In reply to A Cook Not Mad (Nat). It's definitely a mixed bag. I love Washington, and in some ways being back in the US would be very nice. However, compared against the other things, I'm honestly sure how much of US life I can handle anymore. It will be interesting to see.

Maybe a house sit in WA is what you need to decide whether you want to be there long term. I thought I wanted to be back home and after 16 months we left again.

In reply to Katie @ The World on my Necklace. SO complicated, and I think the more places you spend time in the more complicated it gets.

I definitely understand about the downside of long term travel and leaving bits of your heart all over the place. I yearn for Vancouver and the British Columbia Coast as well as New Zealand (my home country) and London (where I lived for 6 years) – it is hard to be away from them but then I love my life in Sydney too. It’s complicated for sure!

In reply to Steph (@ 20 Years Hence).

I definitely agree. That’s one of the most beautiful parts about this lifestyle. If we decide something isn’t working for us, then off we go! It’s as easy as that.

I’m sure things will feel better once we’re not bouncing around every week and can stay in one spot and unpack. You can’t feel settled when you’re still living out of your bag and changing addresses every week!

Glad to hear you guys aren’t done, just recharging batteries and the bank account!

In reply to Aleah | SolitaryWanderer.com. That could easily cover your perception of a place for sure. The nomadic life definitely isn't for everyone. I think you have to be wired for it to be able to enjoy it really.

In reply to noel. The physical location changes aren't so bad as long as they aren't so dang fast. Really do much prefer slow travel. That burst we had for 9 weeks was especially exhausting. I am looking forward to being back in WA for a time, though. That's for sure.

In reply to Viv. I don't think it's a grass is greener type of thing so much as it is the more places we go, the more places I love. It's a side effect of this kind of travel. LOL It will be interesting to see what happens after our time in WA. I'm kind of curious to see what unfolds really.
