That's pretty brave and inspiring. I am not sure I could do that again, I've 'rebooted' a couple of times and it takes a long time to find a new path. And inevitably you always end up with lots of stuff again, it has a way of creeping up on you.

Emigrations are a good way to realize what you can do without.

And then a few years later you look around and wonder how it happened again.

Yeah, the maintenance part is possibly the hardest aspect. It's also killed typical socialization in my own home, except for people that genuinely enjoy just sitting, sipping tea and talking.

I was pretty stuck anyhow (progress wise), so if it takes a couple of years to gain new momentum, I feel it's time well spent.

A few people asked if I was heading overseas, the more people that do, the better an idea it sounds like.

[jacquesm]

So, are you heading overseas?

[momotomo]

To travel, yeah. Baby steps, it'll be my first time offshore (at 28 years of age)

Is sitting around a TV socializing?
