Love this concept so much!
I do hate paying rent and was seriously considering a tiny home, but my partner just couldn't really work with the idea... she needs space, and I respect that. Your bus is going to be amazing, but it'll be tough at times.
My partner seems to have no problem with credit though, and that's a struggle for me. If it was up to me I'd never buy anything unless I had already saved up for it... which is not how most of the world operates.
Like you though, we up and moved from Melbourne (to Portland Oregon) and the process of selling everything and moving was amazing. We basically moved our whole lives with two bags. So good!
Hey mate! Yep, fair enough about needing space. It is certainly not a small adjustment to make!
That's a pretty huge move. I'm from Sydney myself. What was the reason behind the move?
A few different things... I always wanted to live in another country, just to see what life outside of Australia was like... my partner was always in bands and so moving always seemed like it might be impossible, but then a couple of her bands kind of imploded and she wanted to get away from the scene for a bit. We moved to the US because it was the easiest visa-wise, and accidentally found ourselves in Portland and I love it here.
How about you guys? Just wanted to take upside yoga photos in the Northern Hemisphere light?
Interesting place to settle! Never been there myself. Sounds like you guys have some cool interests.
I moved over here on some US & Canadian work visas. The mrs is from Canada so we're just chilling in Toronto right now. Definitely want to explore a lot of America I the bus we figured would be a fun way to do it :)
If we ever find ourself in Portland i'll give you a shout haha maybe we can all train together!
A bus will be an awesome way to do it!
Do it, come on over... we've got 5 acres and a guest bedroom so you could hang in your bus or sleep inside... we're easy.
Portland is so much like Melbourne, great food, fun active people... it does have amazing snow-capped mountains though which I'll never get used to.
Can you have a quick squiz at this post? You've definitely got high quality posts and I'd be crazy not to put you forward for a Curie vote, but there's a few guidelines I'd love you to take a look at... should help you get more exposure on this platform.
That's very kind of you to offer! I'm sure we'll swing by :)
Checked out the post and it sounds interesting. Thanks for thinking my writing is good enough! Are there any specific guidelines you'd like me to hit before submitting?
I try to write as authentically as myself as I can otherwise I find I get a bit consumed by trying to 'make money' on Steemit which isn't the reason I started writing.
Of course i'd love to be put up for a vote - I checked out the guidelines but were there any specific ones you were thinking of?
Great!
Of course, I absolutely wouldn't want you to write specifically to be curated, that becomes very obvious the longer you're a curator... but your writing is definitely great quality, and I figured if there's a couple of little things that'll change you from ineligible to eligible than why not?
It wasn't super obvious if you took these photos or if they're from somewhere else. Absolutely no problem sourcing photos, but if you could put a link to the source so the creator gets credit that'd be great.
Your Instagram link isn't working, and if you wouldn't mind adding your Steemit link to your Instagram that helps verify that all your work is your own. Unfortunately since Steem does pay, a lot of work gets plagiarized.
I couldn't tell if you have another blog on another platform, but if you did the curie reviewers would find it, so I guess try and create content exclusively to Steem. The whole point of the curie vote is to help newly starting creators and help expose them to new followers.
Hope this makes sense,
Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know about the Instagram link and for these tips. I'll make these adjustments on my future posts and we'll see what happens :)
Thanks again!
