Wish i'd done that when we were first married - wanted to the
home & 4 kids bit back then and now want to travel, but too old to do just any work. My daughter and her boyfriend travelled when
young - got an old "fold up" style caravan that progressively fell to bits as they went through central Oz, down through the Eastern States, then on to Tassie. Abandoned the van in Tassie, and set up a mobile
home out of the back of the Troopy. She worked a winter on the Pieman River - included working the car ferry (jokes about who pays the Ferryman er ferrywoman in a few travel articles). Then from Tas up to Qld before stopping to work again. So long as one of them got work, both if they could, they'd work for a few months with a bit of local sightseeing, then when they'd save up enough, on with the travels. They found work easier to find "off season" eg winter in Tas and wet season far north Qld - less competition. What a life! Good luck with the travels.
