Preparations


The preparation for this project was NOT to know what to pack!

That is definitely the easiest part as there are very few things that you need to bring that are critical.

The challenges are how to handle work, house/apartment, pets, car, bills (yes, some do not disappear), insurances, memberships, children and family relations, things etc. The biggest challenge however is the mental journey before you make the decision to “let loose” of the grip of the safe, normal life!! There are more than 40 theoretical arguments why it could impossible for you to “let loose”!!!

If you manage to break through the mental barrier it is like any project – the better quality of the planning – the better project.

So, the first recommendation is to start having this “crazy” thought active in your head and think what you have to take care of and what changes in your priorities you need to make to make it happen.
