We describe some of the ways that people fund long-term travel and we specify our own particular financial means.

 Nearly seven weeks in my family home in Eastern Canada went by in a flash. That’s because they were full of family, food, and friendship. This summer will go down in the history books as one of my favorite all-time. And so, here is an ode to that summer, in photos.
 In between ten-month stints of travel, discovery, and a different view out the window each day, it’s nice to get a bit of stillness, comfort, and routine in my life. That’s what I appreciate most when I return to my parents’ home in New Brunswick, Canada.

Kat - Hi just came upon your website and am excited to follow you. We are from California. We have walked portions of the Camino Francis in Spain and plan to complete it in sections so we can do it slowly. We are not into rushing through it. The whole area that is passes is fantastic. I urge you to do the first section over the Pyrinees from St. Jean Pierre de Porte, as it its beautiful and gives you a good but short experience of the Camino experience.(weather permitting) You can just do a few days and it can be very cost effective. We also took the train North up from Burgos to the coast and saw such dramatic and varying terrain I really think that you would appreciate that. We love all of the areas of Spain we have visited. you will love it.
The website I gave you is the one for our charity The Heart,Mind & Soul Project- http://www.hmsproject.org. We primarily work with schools and support students in the rural village area of Bali. We dream of someday being able to live there part of the year and travel other places on the way there and on our return each time.
Look forward to following you.
Brittany - Hi Kat, thank you SO much for your message! First of all, for taking the time to share useful information on Spain and the Camino, and secondly for sharing your dream and website! We will definitely keep your tips in mind as we plan our trekking – we think we’re going to walk in the Pyrennes in both Andorra and at least one Spanish national park, and we’re hoping to do a bit of the Camino del Norte along the coast, so it sounds like we’ll be doing some of what you suggested!
We wish you all the best as you begin to plan a new location-independent life, hopefully with a part of the year in Bali doing what appears to be some very excellent work. You can do it!!
Please do stay in touch, we’re happy to have you here.
Kat - May your travels be safe and all of wonder.
Brittany - Thank you Kat for taking the time to wish us well. We really appreciate your wishes, and will do our best to open our eyes each day with the wonder of children!
We wish the same to you.

Brittany - Bonjour Guillaume,
Oui, on se rappelle de vous, et je pense que vous avez recemment envoye un mail a Bruno? Je sais pas s’il vous a repondu… il est en train de faire beaucoup de petits travaux sur le Toyota en ce moment. Nous allons partir lundi pour Andorre, Espagne, et eventuellement le Maroc, et on a des soucis de rouler en France avec la voiture, donc on ne passera pas pres de chez vous. Mais ca sera notre plaisir de vous revoir encore sur le continent africain! On a une page sur ce site “The Road Thus Traveled” qui montre nos points GPS, ca pourrait vous server pour voir si on est proches l’un de l’autre.
Restez on contact et a bientot!
