Thanks for the responses. I'm glad I inspire someone to do what they want to do.
Sometimes it's all about a simple thing called self-confidence, and faith in your own abilities.
We can all do it, but I've met people, particularly women, who can't, won't or refuse to do the simple things such as putting the garbage wheelie bin out, or mow their own lawns.
One woman I met used to get her son to come around to do those things after her husband died or left. (I can't remember which)
Was she so dependent, or was she keeping the umbilical cord attached?
Being dependent on others can really retard our progress of self development, and theirs. Do them a favour and let them get on with their own lives.
I've had blokes borrow my tools. (Just tools) It's a sort of "smug" feeling I get when I hand over a hammer or a shifter, or a open-ended ring spanner, or a 3/16 socket.
Only you hold yourself back, while using other things/people as excuses.
Blokes do it to. "I'd love to travel like you do, but I don't have anyone to go with me", they say.
"So what!" I say. "Just do it!"
Baby steps. Just drive out the driveway first, point the grill toward your chosen destination, be it 10kms from home, or 200kms from home. Once you get the feel of it, you won't want to stop, I guarantee it.
Do it in the car with a suitcase in the boot. Make up your mind how you want to do it. Which way will suit you best, be it camper van, mobile home or towing a small or bigger van.
I hope our paths do cross out there somewhere. It's very small country when you have wheels under you.
