Be the change you want to see in the world. We are starting another chapter in our lives. From nursing to campsites. First stop the Highlands 8 months of scenery dramas dog related activities and of course going into battle with the local midges!
HOW IT GOT STARTED
The Roots
Welcome to our trials and tribulations as we leave for the next chapter. We are swapping careers and moving from house to 4 wheels as we set off for the Highlands. The plan is to become nomadic working in the UK for the summer and then much like the birds heading as far south as possible in the summer. Otherwise no real plans so both exciting and a little anxiety provoking. Whatever it is or will be it will jolt us out of any rut we may havebeen in.
A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving!
