Our little trip had been planned for months (or years, if you go back as far as dreams). The idea was to take off around Eastern Australia in a camper trailer, creating a once in a lifetime experience for our family of four. So we bought the camper trailer, and time out of ‘real life’, to do just that. Some wise and well-traveled folk tell me that the precious memories we make will have no expiry date or price tag.
This trip was also a chance to press pause – to re-connect with my family, my body, my heart, my soul. Feeling creatively barren and totally stretched, I’d lost touch with my own magic and the ability to fully enjoy even the most precious moments. I needed to escape the treadmill, and the persistent feeling of ‘never enough time’. It was time to call ‘time out!’ on life before it called time out on me (again, and again, and again).
Our ‘half lap’ around Oz will take us through the bush, beaches and barns of Eastern Australia. On Trailer and Zen, I’ll share our experiences and photos, along with my (sometimes) deeper musings on moving closer to a state of mindfulness and (where possible!) peace.
I hope you enjoy!
