Are you ready to 'ctrl-alt-del'?

Imagine a life where you weren't influenced by fancy pants companies, creative colourful marketing strategies or engineered dopamine hits screaming at you to buy more more MORE!...A place free from "keeping up with the Jones'" and a place where you had the opportunity to breathe, relax and just exist. A life removed from the mainstream and where you were deeply entrenched in the daily routine of Wake. Hydrate. Nourish. Explore. a life rich in purpose not products.

Sounds appealing right? Sounds too good to be true?

We're currently living this life and I can assure you that removing yourself and your family from the ridiculous-ness of western culture 2025 is more simple and easier to achieve than you might think and it may be the best choice you ever make.

But before we explain how you could possibly 'ctrl-alt-del' from your current entrapment within modern society, you first need to identify the problem areas within it.

Here's the checklist:

1. Are you spending money just to feel better?

2. Do you feel like you need to upgrade your possessions?

3. Do you have a lot of projects on the go or more hobbies than time to do them?

4. Are you working just to enjoy the weekend?

5. What is your current credit card balance looking like?

6. What is your relationship with money?

7. If you were to lose your job tomorrow how long would you be okay for? A week, a month, a few months?

OK. Did you honestly reflect on your current life situation? Well I'll tell you something...it doesn't really matter what your answers were. The point was to get you thinking about your current situation and how deep you are in the matrix. Are you open-minded and willing enough to take the red pill and see behind the veil?

A quick interjection here, we both took the red pill many years ago and are now fulltime life-schooling our kids whilst we're currently travelling around the Balkans...and that has really opened our eyes!

When we began travelling and life-schooling our girls we had our own internal expectations but we discovered the following very quickly:

1. Because we can only live with what we can carry we only have a limited number of possessions. Therefore, we have to be extremely conscious of what we have and what we buy.

2. We don't fill up our emotional cups with possessions but rather with love, gratitude, acceptance and body movement.

3. Our weekends are marked as only being another day, not something we work towards and live for.

4. Our accommodation is well equipped so there's no need to buy anything.

5. When living abroad, we began to realise that possessions previously deemed a necessity are now considered completely useless and surplus to needs.

6. Money is just energy. Ready to be exchanged and is best used to gain access to experiences and nourishment. It shouldn't be burnt on short term fixes and self worth gaps.

7. Financial security is more important than we realise and working location free has given us more freedom than we imagined.

We now live day-to-day, exploring our surroundings and immersing ourselves in different cultures. We travel slowly across the landscape, interacting with the local residents and learning as a family by moving with the rhythm of life. Some days we might hike a mountain and other days we might just picnic in a park together. Some days are busy and other days are slow and cruisy.

Travelling long term whilst also living in the moment will awaken something within you that'll rip open your gaps and expose your flaws. The real opportunities are in how you rise up and meet yourself, how you shift from living as a distracted being to becoming a more present and truly grateful present person.

Our next blog we will touch on the value and the hidden cost of choosing cheap. Especially when it comes to travelling with kids and life-schooling.
