Full-Time Caravan Life: What They Learned (and What They'd Do Differently)

What does it actually look like when you stop planning and start travelling? In this episode, I'm joined by Mel from Neighbours to Nomads. Mel and her partner Scott sold everything, shut down their businesses, and set off to travel Australia full-time. We talk through how that decision came about, what their first six months really looked like, and the biggest lessons they've learnt since being on the road. This is a practical, honest conversation about what changes once you leave, including how quickly travel can turn into a race if you're not careful, why slowing down is harder than it sounds, and how long it actually takes to explore Australia properly. We also cover setup decisions, making money on the road, and how they've handled the unexpected along the way. If you're planning your own lap, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what to expect and what matters most once you're out there.
