For those that travel full time or long term,

The three things you love the most about nomad life and the three you detest the most.

1 following the nice weather

2 not having to plan ahead

3 being able to live where you want, when ever you want. FREEDOM.

Three things we detest,

1 Tenter campers on the next site that enchroach all their crap onto our site.

2 noisy uncontrolled kids anywhere near us

3 wizzbangers with sliding doors that for some reason need to get in and out of their van 20 times a day more than normal and slam the door. Either get in or out. 

As full time nomads, I like (I won't speak for the boss!)

1. Seeing new places, especially beautiful scenery or historic buildings

2. Not having to maintain a house and garden

3. The freedom to go where we want, when we want

Dislikes:

1. Litter and rubbish anywhere

2. Noisy, inconsiderate people 

3. Wet, cold weather

Wow! People where do you go to holiday and not find things that P you off, your own backyard. All the dislikes listed are part and parcel of holidaying away from home and most of us while not liking all the things others do have adopted the attitude that recognizes the rights of others to live their life the way they chose. Don't sweat the small things in life just go for it Life to short and no one ever escapes alive

 I don't sweat the small stuff. I did say dislike, not hate. Although dogs roaming loose is closer to hate.

Gday...

I try to always remember to not sweat the petty things ... and not to pet the sweaty things

Cheers - John

I don't mind the dogs....just what they leave behind.

 I"m with you wombat 280,you have hit it on the head,  chill baby!!!!!!

Like getting out there and seeing this great country

Dislike intolerance.

Let's face it, we're not going to be on the same wavelength as everyone we meet or camp near, so just try to give others the space to enjoy their trip in their way, and focus on enjoying yours in your way.

The question was asked in the first post for 3 likes and 3 dislikes. It doesn't mean we are complaining.

 My thoughts exactly!

Despite the risk of being labeled a winger or Grumpy Old Fart (actually, I am a GOF)

As a part time nomad who doesn't free camp :

Like ..

1. A quiet campsite near 'kayakable' water

2. Views from the campsite

3. The Australian bush

Dislikes ..

1. Noisy neighbours.  (I try not to fall into this or the next category myself)

2. Unfriendly neighbours

3. Poorly maintained places (this includes paid CPs as well as 'self maintained' free stops)

But I do what I reasonably can, to change or ignore the annoyances ...  The dislikes are the same whether at home or on the road.  Funny that.

Good morning G Ns I now realise I will never be be a full time Nomad as I just get itchie feet, Love my small home in the suburbs, coming home to it and now with one month to go we will have the freedom of going almost when it pleases us.

With that freedom if I don't like something and can't help to change it I will now move on. I will not be locked in.

I believe I am still nomadic even if I am not on the road full time but I could change. Ralph
