Correct indeed!
The difference is I'm not married & I don't have kids to support. So seems silly not to do what makes you happy in this crazy worldOnce again best of luck with it, and wish I had the guts to just upsticks and go like you.
Not at all jealous
You say that, but having lived in the scenario you describe for 15 months, whilst rebuilding a house, Id not recomend it, unless its a modern well insulated caravan, with a log burner. And I spent many of the nights in a hotel for work. When it was wobbling about in the gales, it was not nice.
The problem is I'm not getting any younger and wonder what my family will do with my accumulated stuff.
Having been born and brought up in a tenement in Edinburgh in the 1960’s, with no central heating, and frost on the inside of the windows, a caravan is nothing.
Anyway, I have planned this ‘other life choice’ (ok, daydreamed), and have worked out the most efficient way to insulate that caravan.

My mate has just gone to oz, he’s had two weeks sightseeing and advertised his cv online.
2 days later he had 3 job offers and is on more an hour than he was here and it’s cheaper to rent out there
If I ever broke up with my missus I would be off to Spain in a heartbeat
My dream.Brave move, but best of Luck with it.
I’ve got a mate who sold his house to live on a narrow boat. He’s having a blast
My dream.
