Life Happens When You’re Busy Making Plans.
That is exactly what was happening to me when I realized I didn’t like it so much.
Hi, I’m Nora Dunn. In 2006, I decided to take the plunge. I sold my financial planning practice in Toronto Canada, my boyfriend Kelly wrapped up his life in Ottawa, and we both got rid of all of our belongings in order to free ourselves up for the adventure of a lifetime.
Since then, we’ve been on the road, traveling slowly through eight countries and three continents. We have lived a variety of lifestyles by working in trade for our accommodation. My location independent writing career takes care of the rest of the expenses. As such, I can travel in a financially sustainable manner like this for as long as I wish.
And I plan to.
From traveling across the vast and magnificent Canada, to falling off the grid in Hawaii, to spontaneous Cyclone relief in Asia, to Australian adventures and even some (horrific) bushfire action, we have seen – and been a part of – a lot so far.
But there is so much to come. I update this blog every Monday and Thursday; feel free to subscribe (by RSS or e-mail) in the right-hand corner of this page. Poke around up there while you’re looking at that corner – I’d love to see you on Twitter or Facebook too.
As a frequently published author, I also provide regular Roundups with links to other works I wrote that you might be interested in. Please visit my Writing & Publicity page for more information where I’ve been published.
As for where I’m going….we’ll you’ll just have to keep reading, won’t you?
