single mom traveller

[sylvester39]

<p>I'm about to start living full time in my camper with my son who is about to turn six. We have a dog and a cat and family everywhere across the country. For now we'll be staying local while the two of us finish school. I have my college and he has his kindergarten year. Then we will be moving on to our several destinations. I have dying relatives that want to see their great grand child one last time, cousins I haven't seen since I was five, aunts, uncles, and brothers all waiting for me along the way.. <br><br>My son wishes we could walk with our backpacks and travel the world. Before I had my son I was a permanent van dweller with my two dogs and couldn't have been happier. Now, we'll have a camper. An 18' camper but, still... All of the differences are unknown to me. <br><br>Regardless, I'm taking the plunge now while it's still a choice so I can be a little picky about my set up, as opposed to waiting until we're just out and have to resort to car living.. I feel like the luckiest mom ever that as we are about to become 'homeless' my son is excited and looking forward to losing most of his things for a drastically smaller living space. He's separated his things into what he's keeping and what he's selling MONTHS ago. <br><br>That's it really. No questions or concerns. I'm just sharing. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/cool.gif"></p>

Good for you. You'll never regret the adventures you and your son will have together. I took my two sons everywhere with me and we are still close. Now they are both in college, so I don't see them as much as I would like, but I'll always have those memories -- so will you.

Make sure you post your travels! Best wishes!
