If you’re thinking about doing a lap of Australia then congrats! The hardest part is making the mental leap that it’s something you and your family can achieve. Once you’ve made that huge jump out of your comfort zone the rest of the steps are easy in comparison. Realising that you can live a life less ordinary and challenge ‘normal’ expectations of how we should spend time with our kids is freedom in itself – and the feeling of driving away on your big lap is like no other!
The kids will learn so much just from the journey alone, and every day will be an adventure! But figuring out how to make the dream a reality takes a bit of work. Every family is different so there will be lots of things to consider – but we’ve put together a free course – ‘How to Plan a Family Lap of Australia’ to give you a head start on all the things that you’ll need to think about.
From making that jump the new mindset to the more practical side of things like what to do with your mail, we’ve covered all aspects of the early planning stages.
Lesson one will guide you through the initial steps to make your dream a reality – the first steps you need to take even when your trip still seems a long way away.
In lesson two we talk about how we chose our vehicle – there are so many options out there you might have no idea whether you should buy a caravan, camper trailer, bus or motorhome. We’ve put together the pros and cons of each and there’s also a fun quiz you can do to help you.
