Life is too short to stay in one place!
July was a wonderful month of friends, good food, and saying a long goodbye to the United Kingdom. From a spending perspective we were helped tremendously by the kindness of great friends and people who trusted us to watch their homes while they were away.

May was rough on the budget and the figures clearly show it. We went way over budget after 7 straight months of doing so well, but of course it was to be expected when we landed in Europe. Starting in South America was a gentle way to slide into our long-term travel lifestyle and now [...]
