Interesting blog. I've never felt any qualms at major life changes, though I know many people find change of any kind difficult. So many rich experiences came as those new doors opened. One key, of course, is to be debt-free as early in your adulthood as possible...build a solid base of savings you don't touch...and let go of the mindset to overdo it buying more shiny new stuff as you discard the old.
We spend a few months of each year living in our 22 foot van (bought used) and exploring the US and Canada. We've also had enough life experience to avoid buying things we don't really need, like fancy barbecues our fellow RVers want to sell us on their blogs to finance their own dreams!
Seriously, full timing works for some, but not all, of us. We like having a home base to return to...and during the months we are there, we work a little and have fun planning and anticipating the next great adventure.
