Trip Preparations

The decision to take this trip was easy…. A no-brainer really! The planning and implementation, however, was a little (a lot, actually!) more involved. There is a lot of research and preparation involved in completing a journey such as this. Our plan is to travel for 12-18 months (but, really, who knows!) – so there were a few key decisions that we had to make initially… How would we fund a trip of this magnitude? Was our current car suitable, or would we need to upgrade/modify? What is the best type of accommodation – caravan, camper trailer or tent? How would we school the kids?

After much research, investigation and soul-searching, we found our answers….

1. Sell our house and assets

2. Modify our 4WD

3. Camper trailer – hard floor

4. Homeschooling
