Yippeee! Welcome to the club. I am going on the same route as you are and I have already taken the big step. of course, I will start with my own country and then move on. I might not be going the usual way nomads do RTW( round the world. I want to touch base. So, I now plan to go to every nook and corner of India --where I live -- coz I believe it is a country in which every state is another country...lol. Then move to SE Asia -- a logical step, ain't it? Next US, Canada, Latin America. Europe and finally Australia and New Zealand. We must cross our paths some time :-) Monika…

So, I now plan to go to every nook and corner of India –where I live — coz I believe it is a country in which every state is another country…lol.

Europe and finally Australia and New Zealand.

We must cross our paths some time :-)

Frankly the the thought of working like this until I'm of "retirement age" and beyond is very depressing. Having a chronic illness makes it 20 times worse. I have been away from my day job for the past week and a half on holiday (some of it unpaid) and I have never felt better in a long time. I've only been working for 14 years (only 30)and I already feel burnt! It would be my dream to retire completely at 35. I hope everything you worked hard for come true in 2009! I love your attitude.

I'm sure since you've set this goal, you won't have ANY problem paying off that pesky mortgage and hitting the road! Glad to hear your night hire is working out!

I look forward to 2009 with excitement, to see where you will be going and to hitch a ride on your coattails perhaps ;) as I too have big plans for travel - first, a big geographical relocation, and then lots of travel, down in your neck of the woods. Writing Nomad looks like it will be a great site and I'll be watching it closely! You are so right to follow this path - I decided a couple of years ago to do that myself, because we can't assume that we will make it to pensionable age, or that there will even be a pension fund when we do get there. We have to live *now*. You'll do well with this! -Brett Hi Monika!

Activities are springing up over where I am... very exciting 2009 and I hope the same for you. Great to be reading your writings again. Certainly love that touch of motivation in your words. You changed your theme, looks really neat and I like it. I had a switch in theme too but I am barely half done. The new year is coming. I wish you, your family and loved ones all the best in 2009.

Cool. I am a nomad at heart also, but am bogged down for at least 4-5 more years. Frankly, I am tired of winter as I look outside at the near zero visibility weather today. Only 3-4 more months of winter! Monika,

I think I am an intermittant nomad - I thought that I would launch my online career while we drove 35,000km around Australia LOL Saw a lot of Australia, discovered just how bad internet access is out there! Didn't get much work done! I've done a lot better since we've had a base in Perth. I had no idea you were a traveller at heart Monika!
