Next New Zealand – September 2019

Our priority was to be financially set up first. Isee alot of people
selling the house, selling everythingthey own or spendingtheir
house deposit to go travelling.I’d say don’t do that –get your home,
rent it out, and then go away. Obviously,that’s apersonal opinion.
For other people, the experienceof going away would outweigh
that financial security.

The hardest thing Ifound was just to be in the moment
because it goes so fast. Iencourageeveryoneto appreciate
where you are right now.

Instagramhas been areally great way for us to meet people and
we’ve connectedwith afew other families along the way. I’m always
happy to answer any questionsand share what we’ve learned –reach
