Glad to meetcha, darlenegrone.
It's not clear whether you're considering genuinely abandoning the rat race or not. For instance, are you contemplating selling your house and living out of a small vehicle?
My wife and I are thinking of giving our house to the kids and going nomad. And we need to be careful about getting too enthusiastic and doing something rash. Our plan, for 2019 and hopefully 2020, is to just go tent camping (decently appointed setup) while deciding on and preparing a more substantial living vehicle. We'll probably do it mostly at a local campground. The destination will be less important than the practice.
This might sound as though I'm counselling prudence. But it ain't necessarily so. I say those who really and truly want out of the rat race ought to do it quick. In our case, though, we're just not certain that we want to give up the life we have now. It has it's advantages and we need to ponder the matter.
