AUSSIE caravanners Kym Leech and Lyn Hutton, who have been full-time
working travellers for six years, have published
a book to help others wanting to follow in their tracks.
Be an Australian Nomad Adventurer – Confidently rove and fund your
lifestyle while on the road is written with humour and in an
easy-to-read style with over 130 illustrated pages.
It costs $12.50, with a dollar from every sale being donated to the Royal
Flying Doctor Service.
Topics range from having a multi-employability mindset, ideas on how and
where to look for work, accommodation and communications.
The authors say the "one day" people (those still to negotiate some of
those early decision-making processes and give it a go) and those already
on the road will enjoy relating to much of the content and will likely
pick up some new ideas.
Kym and Lyn, whose
No Boundaries website
has a popular following, describe themselves as a working class couple who started
their nomadic lifestyle while in their mid 50s and after their children
had fled the nest.
"We have been part of this ongoing migration of working nomads for over
six years," they told Caravanning News.
"We have experienced Australia and so much more ... with the advantage of
younger energy than we ever could had we delayed our caravan travels to
post-retirement."
With what they say was "a money pot with a shallow bottom", working and
travelling their way around was the answer.
"Our adventures on
the road have largely been financed by finding
work in an ever-extending trail of places and work situations as we travel
throughout Australia," they said.
Kym and Lyn explained they are like the "proverbial slow racing turtle",
towing their caravan and all their basic comforts along with them.
And they stress that their time on the road has been far from all about
hard work ... it can be paradise, as one of their
photos show.
