well we haven't settled down yet, we are trying to, but haven't found our place yet! I think it has been great travelling with a child (we have an almost 4 year old), but I feel ready to settle down for a while and I feel it would be good for him too. But honestly? It scares the shit out of me too! I am scared to get stuck! Knowing all those nice places out there that I still haven't explored! Maybe that's why we haven't managed to settle down just yet!

I think there's always a "right time" to settle down. Some people find it earlier in life, some later. I am still in the "want to get out there and at them" stage and probably have a couple years left of that before settling down fully.

But then, the universe can chuck up a storm and throw any plans I had in the trash can!

I'm sure you will not just be stuck in one place though. You can still go on vacations once your kid is at school etc, just maybe not for as long as you could do previously. And that's OK too, makes you appreciate things a bit more and you have already lead a life full of adventure, more to come 🙂

yes I know, we are even talking about "worldschooling" (either do homeschooling and travel once in a while or do "normal" school half the year and travel the other half, (probably winter - some friends of friends are doing that), so I'm pretty sure we don't end up settling for some conventional life no matter what, but the fear of getting trapped in the treadmill is still there ;) At least I know how it is to be free, so I probably won't be easy to catch! haha ;D

Well, you can use that fear to drive you forward and think of ways to stay away from the proverbial rat race. You have already got a head start in many ways because you've been used to that way of living for a while.

Stay as free as you can, the "world schooling" sounds like the best option there as you can literally have a home anywhere? But having half a year to travel does also sound good so either one of those is a good option :)
