What shall we do?
A question that often plays through our minds. We are now on the road for over 6 weeks and have seen and done so much. We have already crossed 9 countries and drove a lot of miles. Scandinavia felt like a holiday. We enjoyed the splendor of Norway, the good company in Sweden and the beautiful Stockholm. Sweden comes slightly higher on the list of potential residential places thanks to this city. We crossed Poland a little faster than planned initially as we felt an urge to go to the sea. We miss the sea. In the vicinity of the meditarian sea we were shocked by the crowds at the coast and the price for a nice camping spot by the sea (if even available). We decided to stay away for now and found a beautiful and especially quiet place in Croatia.
But what will we do?
Are we going to push on to Greece through all the beautiful countries in between and then via Italy to Spain and Portugal? Are we going to Italy and then to Morocco by boat? Or to Spain? Or maybe along Zurich, Switzerland our home for 5 years? Or do we stay in the mountains with it great views and trails?
So many questions so many answers.
We do not know for sure. If it where the two of us, we would travel endlessly and if possible go all the way to Singapore or South Africa with Bloomie overland. But it’s not just about us. It is also about two little girls. Which one finds the most good. But of which the other person sometimes finds it fine, sometimes difficult, sometimes delicious, sometimes difficult. The restlessness in Anna is great. And therefore partly for / with us.
Holiday is nice
Do not get us wrong, vacation is nice! But after 6 weeks it is time to get back to work, to look for, find or create opportunities. To settle down after all the travelling done. As long as Anna does not find peace, we do not. Last week in Croatia we were close. What a wonderful place. We would have liked to stay longer, but unfortunately it was already booked. The disadvantage of not booking everything in advance.
So what are we going to do now?
We do not know well. Some parts of us say just go on, stay on the road and continue to Portugal where we thought we would go. But another, now larger part says stability first. And therefor we are going to pursue the latter. We are going to see where we can stay somewhere for a week or 3-4 (or more). A place where we can introduce rhythm and regularity again. Hoping that helps 😊. And in the meantime start up work related activities again and search for work or business opportunities. In Australia or Canada or in the Arab world or if possible South Africa? We do not know yet.
Do you know?
Do you know a nice place where we really should go for a week or 3 (or life)? Or do you know a beautiful place in South Africa or Canada or Australia or in Oman or something? Let us know! And if you happen to have a boat with space for Bloomie to take her (?) along: let us know. Preferably we would like to keep Bloomie in the family.
