The end of living in a tent

Well, have certainly "scratched that itch", been on the road for about 2 months, car and tent. Posted videos to YouTube:

I have been closely watching others who are permanently on the road; they have camper-van/motor-home/caravan, certainly much better than a tent. But I'm not convinced they are all happy being constantly on the move. There is of course the underlying worry about a breakdown.

Might consider a van in the future, but for now, moving back to the city of Perth.

Rather like the idea of reducing belongings to just about nothing. Wayne is an example of that; he has a backpack with all of his possessions. He grew up in Perth and has a sister here, where he stays when back in Perth. His YouTube channel is "Fiasco da Gama":

Wayne was in Perth recently, for medical treatment, but has just gone back to India. Chennai; I like his $10 per day hotel room!    

There is a catch for an Australian age pensioner to live overseas; more than 6 weeks, lose the Pensioner Concession Card. If permanently overseas, lose the Pension Supplement. That leaves a base pension, which is still pretty good in many Asian countries. Lots of Aussie seniors doing it.

Not that I will, just thinking of options.

Oh yeah, regarding those "MeanderingLight" videos; had the idea of combining inner-contemplation-journey with an outer journey, but decided that doesn't really work. So have deleted some of the inner-contemplation videos.
