Are you wondering how you’re going to get your laundry done when you hit the road, and thinking about getting a small washing machine for your caravan? Ahh, laundry. Never stops does it? And especially once you hit the road. I’m sure you end up with a lot more laundry actually… until you realise that it’s …
Back in 2011 Ben and I moved to Christchurch, NZ. The day after we arrived, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch. 185 people were killed, and thousands were injured.

Well… I use the word ‘review’ lightly, basically it was just me gushing over this Australian made compact motorhome to my mostly American audience. Now that we’ve been on the road and know what kind of travel we’d …
We’ve made Dubbo our home-for-now as we save for a caravan and work on our online businesses. Situated just 5½ hours drive from Sydney, in the central west NSW, it’s the largest town in the Orana region and I love it, cos it’s got everything I need. (Oh, except a beach :-/) We’ve been here …
