The Plan

In December 2008, Justin, Zeb and I took some time off from computers, TV and video games to focus on each other during the holiday season and in hopes of accomplishing some tasks. During that down time we were able to focus on what it was we wanted for the future and subsequently birthed The Five-Year Plan.

The Goal

.
Our goal within five years (by the end of 2013) is to ascertain land within an established and sustainable community, build our own sustainable, self-sufficient home and live off our land. We have thoughts of a hobby farm, a woodworking shop for Justin, and possibly a massage studio for Tara.

The Current Plan

.
Our original plan (linked below) was to stay in Las Vegas while saving up money, in hopes of making the move debt-free but Justin’s work dwindled out faster than expected. After some deliberation, we decided to go on the road for awhile first. Despite serious reservations, we feel this is a one-time opportunity we don’t want to pass up.

We bought Benny the Brave and are currently working on refurbishing him. By the time we hit the road, we hope to have him solar-powered, running on waste veggie oil and remodeled to make him a suitable, long-term living space.

.
We plan to travel the country, following work and our passions, and exploring communities. We hope to visit with people we’ve met online or in various places, intern at organic farms, and learn more about places we might like to live. We are assuming we’ll be traveling for a year but we’re open to changes.

It’s pretty fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants to some but we prefer to look at it as a lesson in Trust and Love. Not to mention a Grand Adventure!
