RV FEATURE
My friend also remarked on just how many people were there at the same time as him . In some places , they had so many vans and campers packed together that he couldn ’ t use his awning . Again , if you travel the northern half of the country from May through to July , you have to expect there to be hundreds , perhaps thousands , of other travellers at the popular places .
My advice is to look beyond the enhanced photos on social media and research your trip thoroughly , especially if you intend to go offroad and visit Australia ’ s iconic locations . Remember , we all have differing opinions on everything , from the condition of a dirt road to the value for money of a caravan park . Read reviews and traveller stories but take everything with a grain of salt . And if you want to avoid the crowds , consider touring out of season . You may have to put up with some extra heat and humidity , but you would be surprised how quickly you can adapt to the conditions .
GETTING BORED
When you go on holiday , the idea of sitting around and doing nothing may actually be appealing but , when you ’ re living full time on the road , finding yourself with endless days having nothing to do can become very tedious very quickly .
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have some activity you enjoy doing to occupy your time . It can be almost anything and it doesn ’ t need to be an expensive hobby .
We have always travelled with dogs and they love nothing more than going for walks , playing on a beach or visiting a local dog park . Honestly , if you take your dog with you , you will always have something to do as dogs need to be kept active and entertained as much as their human owners do .
I also believe it is important to have interests that you can enjoy as individuals , just so you can have some time apart from each other . I like fishing , photography , flying my drone and metal detecting . I also have this writing gig that keeps me busy a few days each month . My wife took up diamond dotting and crocheting , things I never thought she would be remotely interested in but she found satisfaction in them after giving them a try .
