Madame Maracas asks Jun 24, 2008 05:23PM have you seen the blog about the 4 guys that walked from Chicago to California from a few years ago? Yes WALKED. I'll see if I can it
kchealy says Jun 24, 2008 05:23PM my husband and I talk about it quite a bit, but we haven't done it yet. If housing prices go back up, there's a better chance that we will.
Snorkelbuddy says Jun 24, 2008 05:24PM once sold everything I owned (except clothes) & my 9-yr old son & I moved from MS to CA
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:25PM bloggeries I did not sell home, but I packed my backpack and went on 7 months travel in 2006. It was a great life experience.
Madame Maracas Jun 24, 2008 05:25PM www.youguysarestupid.com/ that's it ... they documented it, rather interesting.
ejcooksey says Jun 24, 2008 05:26PM that is one of my favorite daydreams...then one of the kids wake me up and I am back to reality...
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:27PM he went to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is thinking to take a new trip to Australia or Europe.
GemStar38 says Jun 24, 2008 05:38PM we didn't sell everything, put it in storage, quit jobs and went backpacking in Europe for 3 months
spigot says Jun 24, 2008 05:40PM The wife and I up and left for 7 months in New Zealand. Best time of my life. Check out WWOOF.
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:41PM his friends has sold everything and went on travel for 7 years. They have visited over 80 countries ..
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:43PM I'm in the process of selling home etc... It's crazy how it's liberating and exciting yet totally terrifying at the same time.
BitchTude says Jun 24, 2008 05:43PM I would LOVE to do that. About as close as I came was driving from WA to FL
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:46PM you don't have to be rich to travel for a long time. Just do casual backpacking .. especially in China.
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:46PM his friends wants to do that for a long time, but she can never do it, because she is sick now. **So do it while you can**!
LindaZ Jun 24, 2008 05:47PM you might want to follow Mari Smith on FB or Twitter... she is living the RV life, has a blog about it too
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:47PM TerrenceChang Good advice. I"m thinking of bringing X$ and it lasts as long as it lasts. Kinda like strarting fresh with only X
phoenixbird likes Jun 24, 2008 05:50PM to follow Mari's travels on FB LindaZ, & thinks Mari's FB marketing is great too.
marylynn3 says Jun 24, 2008 05:51PM We have a friend who is doing that in August. Just picking up and moving to Hawaii. He visits there all the time and decided to live there.
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:52PM docblade it takes guts I'm not going to lie to leave everything when you've already kinda "made it" but life is about growth not routines
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:54PM Raven if you think you own your stuff it owns you. You're just the janitor of your stuff. You can truly never own anything.
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:56PM thegypsy Thanks for reminding me. It's just a matter of a few phone calls. If you are free next week email me and I'll get wheels turning.
TerenceChang says Jun 24, 2008 05:57PM he only works hard to support his next travel plan. It's exciting when you are ready for the next long vacation.
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:59PM I see stuff as bondage. You worry about losing something you don't really own. Are we free or asses whose back bows to truck along our junk?
bloggeries says Jun 24, 2008 05:59PM Freedom is paramount in my life. Freedom to choose, freedom to be.
