In reply to Stephanie. Living out of the suitcase sure can get old easily. We didn't really care much for Spain. We have to go back and explore some new areas.

I’ve been travelling for over 7 months now and I can empathise with you. I love travel but I’m just tired of living out of a suitcase and starting over every couple of days. I appreciate that I’m lucky to be able to do this but it would be great to just spend some time living a normal life with friends ect then continue travelling.
Have you ever considered Spain as a base? It has seasons and depending on where you live can be very good value for money!

In reply to Meagan. I'm not really cut out for living in the States, but if we were to live there again, the Pacific Northwest would be high on my list.

In reply to Michele. Surprisingly, once we got out of Asia we realized we just needed to get out of there. In Europe, we're still prepared to be nomadic. Guess we just needed a major change in location!

It’s a catch 22 isn’t it. I have being a military wife and relocating constantly, but yet we’ve seen more and done more than I ever would have dreamed possible. I’ve been to places I never even considered going. We’ve been in one place now for over a year and a half and it’s nice. Maybe you should move to Portland too!! Our beaches are cold though.

I found this post really interesting we are heading off to begin our trip in a few months. I have been wondering about the impact of long term moving and lack of having friends around. I hope you find peace somewhere

In reply to Sam. We will continue to travel, both locally and internationally, from wherever we base. We're definitely not done with travel. We just need to slow it down more than what we've been doing and to have a sense of community somewhere. I was VERY excited to do Chrismakah and NYE in Japan, but in the end I decided my mental health was important so we have cancelled the sit.

Although we’ve not been on the road nearly as long as you guys, we also struggle with the pull of all the places we haven’t seen yet and wanting to slow down and stop for a month or three. It almost seems like the inevitable result of long term travel…it seems very few bloggers who’ve been on multi-year trips keep going past, say three or four. Hope you’re able to find a place/way to do this, and I’m looking forward to seeing where you choose. Also, Chrismakah in Japan?! Super exciting!

In reply to Fran. The great thing about living like this is that you can steer your ship in another direction without too much trouble. ;)
