I spent 2 years running overland tours in North Africa, The Middle East and Central America saving my meagre pay and living on about $14US a day -I even saved a lot of that ! - then as soon as I finished I spent 6 months in Canada and the next 6 months in West Africa in a Land Rover - I've never owned a place to live or rented a place - currently living in the roof tent on top of my Rover and saving up to ship it to South America....
My Girlfriend and I are currently into a 'Work a year travel for two' routine - she sold her house in Canada and works a year contract in healthcare - I work a year and can walk back into the job I am in no problem, I work outdoors and its very chilled out - then we are off.
Like a lot of Overlanders 'The Road Is My Home' - Its where I am happiest - The whole work all year for 2 weeks 'fly and fry' holiday is just scary.
Also planning a 'short' West Arica trip to keep my eye in on 2 wheels - when I get a replacement for my Sazook... ;-(
