TheLifeLessTraveled presents Family Downsizes Life to a Camper, the Open Road and Adventures Rich in Simple Pleasures posted at The Life Less Traveled, saying, “Tired of the daily grind in the UK and in search of a better quality of family life, the family Smudge decided to embark on a drastic life-change in February 2008. They sold their UK house, put most of their possessions into storage and with a handful of clothes, cooking utensils and a computer, moved into their folding camper in the back garden of a family member. 3 months later they gave up their primary income left the UK altogether and set out on the road to France in search of a new and unknown destiny. To begin the journey, the family allocated some savings to pay for a few months travel and continue on income earned from freelance writing and graphic design work. “We don’t have much, but we are getting by and learning to stretch what we do have.” So far this trip has taught them to follow their hearts, live with less, cook family dinners on 2 rings and embrace every moment that life throws their way. Their journey started in France where they experienced hillside breakdowns, picnics at the beach and life on a horse-farm before heading over the Pyrenees to Spain for fiestas, siestas, olive farms and life in a rural village in the Andalusian mountains. Find out how the family Smudge embarked on their own life less traveled…and how you can, too!”
