Now a full-time Nomad
Permalink  

Woohooo, I'm now on the road full time (apart from a short break over Christmas/New Year with family in Brisbane). However, excitement is tinged with sadness at leaving friends Sue and her son Tom, and Gayle (Sheba) in Cawarral, and also the loss of my friend Peter (Ontos45) a couple of weeks ago to COPD. He never did get to fulfill his dream of travelling full time, but I know he'll be riding with me.

Stay safe, and I wish all GNs a very Merry Christmas and a happy & healthy New Year. Looking forward to crossing paths with you in my travels.

Cheers

Joe

How exciting for you Joe. Am sooooooo jealous. Stil trying to get David to retire.
Give us a Pm when you are in our area. Plenty of room for you to park up if you wish..
Hope you have a safe trip down the coast.

Sorry I wasn't up in time to see you off Joe.  Have a great Xmas and New Year, and enjoy your travels, where-ever you go.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Terrific news Joe - you will love it - take your time, smell the roses, or the wattle, or the gidgee trees (if you can smell them, it is going to ..rain) - be flexible, if you find a place you think you would like to explore - spend some time in the area. Read Rocky Lizards meanderings - he does it the right way, as done John (Yeoeleven) of course.

Enjoy your travels - but most of all be a happyamper.jpg

Good luck to you Joe we sometimes think full time Nomad would be the lifestyle but to date have not made the move, travel safely take your time and we hope you thoroughly enjoy the big playground.

Wishing you a great Christmas and a terrific 2016

Good luck Joe, we hope to join you in May 2016, as selling up and becoming full time traveller, a little scary, but something we have always wanted to do, hope to see you out there sometime, safe travels.
Cheers
Jackie

Thanks all for your good wishes, I'll be relaxing on North Stradbroke Island for a few days after Christmas, then I'll be heading south to catch up with family & friends in Sydney and Melbourne. That's as far as my planning extends at the moment.

Cheers
Joe
