We have recently returned from a six month backpack travel adventure around South America after having sold our house in Canberra.
All the cliches and more would describe Helen and I...mature (obvious), responsible, handy etc.
We have done house sits in Canberra (2 weeks-dog) Hobart (3 months-dog) Bermagui (4.5 weeks-2dogs) and currently back in Canberra for a month (2cats)
Essentially we have decided to travel and experience this new found freedom before settling somewhere permanently.
