Global Lifestyling - Our Story

LIVING BEYOND NORMAL
​

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller

​How would you feel about selling up, giving away and throwing out all of your worldly possessions?

Downsize from a large 3 bedroom apartment & a lifetime of stuff, to a backpack of clothes, phone and a laptop?

This was that task, and what I found the most challenging was the change in mindset from trying to buy happiness, to one of being happy with less. It was going to be a journey of minimalism and it sounded tough, however it was that or kiss my early retirement goodbye before it began.

So let me ask you… Does that sound exciting… or frightening? Maybe a little of both!?

Because let me tell you I was terrified!

Making a decision for slow nomadic travel lifestyle is one thing, but having the courage to make it happen is another thing entirely!

In 2011 this was not trendy for the veteran & boomer generations.  Yes there are the Grey Nomads, but full time House & Pet Sitting was in its infancy. Downsizing was unthinkable to generations brought up on a steady diet of whoever dies with the most wins, and going nomadic before retirement meant you had better have millions to live on.

We were talking budget travel, which meant doing things differently and making it up as we went along...

    About

    How and why we got started on this Nomadic Travel Lifestyle and how it has unfolded as we travel within Australia and globally.

    How house and pet sitting has provided us with a wide range of life experiences, with the characters we meet, both two legged and four legged and the places we go.

    ​Also how house sitting has provided us with a minimalist, inexpensive and simple lifestyle, which enables us to travel full-time.
