Well, one day we&#8217;d had enough, decided life was too short and took the plunge to live our dream.<\/p>\n<p>We are both in our mid to late 40&#8217;s and been together for 30 years doing normal stuff like working, paying off the mortgage and finding hobbies to help us chill at the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0 We don&#8217;t have any children and up until June 2015 we had a mini dachshund called Peanut who sadly died at the age of 15.\u00a0 Both of us love to travel and we&#8217;ve done the spectrum from cheap bargain bucket flight to all inclusive with cherries on top.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, we went through a period of nothing but bad luck and it really made us reflect on what was important to us and what we wanted out of life.\u00a0 The rat race, the material things, the fine dining suddenly didn&#8217;t appeal any more.\u00a0 When faced with losing each other and the people you love, it makes you realise what is important.\u00a0\u00a0 This was our turning point.\u00a0 Like Jay and Ju we worked hard and we&#8217;d invested our money.\u00a0 We took a long hard look at what we had, made a few tweaks and decided to take early retirement and&#8230; live our dream.<\/p>\n<p>We spent a full year putting things in to place and planning what we would do.\u00a0 This involved working 6 months notice, which was one of the hardest things we&#8217;ve done.\u00a0 Both from a financial and mental point of view.\u00a0 By this stage in our lives, we were enjoying a successful career with large salary and benefits.\u00a0 Handing in our notice took away our financial lifeline and giving that up was hard.\u00a0 All of a sudden we had to think about our money in a very different way, yet all around us were our friends, still enjoying the benefits of a normal life.\u00a0 But the hardest thing was was working 6 months and having no desire or motivation for the job.\u00a0 Of course, your professional side keeps up the appearances but inside it was torture.\u00a0 At this stage, we felt trapped between two worlds and even though the new world was unknown, we never questioned our decision.\u00a0 In our hearts, we know it was right and that kept us going.<\/p>\n<p>It was at this point, we discovered Jason and Julie&#8217;s website.\u00a0 Now we are not just saying this but their website provided us with so much information and support during our planning stage.\u00a0 Not only that,\u00a0 but their daily updates provided us with the motivation and inspiration to keep heading for the dream.\u00a0 Their website is like a sweet shop for travellers!<\/p>\n<p>We bought our first Motorhome and did the usual stuff like going away at weekends. Each week we would do something new to the Motorhome like fit solar panels then spend the weekend trialling the gadget.\u00a0 We spent hours researching what we needed and then spent the same amount of time installing it.\u00a0 Craig virtually took the Motorhome to pieces and rebuilt it, so he could understand what to do if anything went wrong.\u00a0 We optimised our storage to a fine tea and whittled things down to essential stuff except for my clothes, Craig would say.\u00a0 By spring of 2014, we were ready for our first adventure.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Motorhome<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-17411 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_2D0E28DE-EE40-45CA-AE81-BA9391459A9A-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"!cid_2D0E28DE-EE40-45CA-AE81-BA9391459A9A\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_2D0E28DE-EE40-45CA-AE81-BA9391459A9A-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_2D0E28DE-EE40-45CA-AE81-BA9391459A9A.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>We purchased a 2007 Hymer 694SL, a handsome chap and named him Homer.\u00a0 In April 2014, we set off and that year we travelled around Italy, Sicily and a little bit of Austria.\u00a0 We had a great time but the challenges of living in a poorly built Motorhome combined with an newly acquired itchy skin condition took its toll and within 6 months we were back in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_68749DBF-16E8-4EDD-837D-2D740507ED6A.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-17412 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_68749DBF-16E8-4EDD-837D-2D740507ED6A-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"!cid_68749DBF-16E8-4EDD-837D-2D740507ED6A\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_68749DBF-16E8-4EDD-837D-2D740507ED6A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_68749DBF-16E8-4EDD-837D-2D740507ED6A.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once again, we questioned what we wanted and still came up with the same answer, so with that we sold the 694SL and bought a 12 month old Hymer B590.\u00a0 By early December 2014, we were back on the road.\u00a0 The B590 named Vin, is completely different to the first motorhome and we love him.\u00a0 Firstly, it feels more stable and nothing falls apart when you touch it.

We keep it real with stories of our adventures including the good, the bad and the ugly.\u00a0 We live our dream and we love it but at the end of the day, we are still a normal couple, so we have our ups and downs, so we share all.\u00a0 Like being one of the first couples to walk El Chorro after being closed to the public for over 15 years.\u00a0 To heartbreak of losing our best buddy, our dog, Peanut, who we miss like crazy.\u00a0 At first, we just emailed a few people but over time the list has got bigger and now we issue Our Bumble to a few hundred people.\u00a0\u00a0 In addition, we keep a list of all the wild camping spots, the GPS position and a few photos, so we can share with fellow travellers. We&#8217;ve attached a couple of our bumbles, so you get a taste of what we get up to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-17418\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"!cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cid_56034565-05C2-44C2-B86D-FAF6C10CDDBD.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Our plans&#8230;keep bumbling around, enjoying the freedom to learn new things, discover new places, meet fascinating people and to live our dream.\u00a0 Hopefully one day we might bumble in to you!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like any more information, receive our weekly bumble or if we could be of any help then please email us at <a href=\"mailto:ourbumble@icloud.com\">ourbumble@icloud.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve been following Joanne, Craig and the sadly late Peanut for the past months as we await another turn on the road.
