What I mean is; How/Why do people sell up everything and go on the road 'full time'? What happens when you need a base? What happens if you get too ill to travel anymore? We 'toured' Oz for 8 months last year but were so glad we had a home to come back to (we rented it out whilst away). We can't imagine selling E...
