The big lap of Australia is waiting, and the freedom I imagined is already beginning. But I’m starting to understand that the true joy will come not from racing to the start line, or finishing every task before the first mile, but from embracing the journey itself — and carrying a calmer, steadier mind into the adventures ahead.
The big trip around Australia still has to wait until I hang up the work boots at Christmas, but in the meantime, we’ll be living in the van full-time. It’s not quite the grand departure we imagined, but maybe it’s the perfect trial run before we officially hit the road.
Life has a funny way of nudging you forward, even when you think you’re not quite ready. So here we go—one step closer to the adventure of a lifetime, just a little sooner than expected!
