We’ve been living on the road for a while now and while we already had a lot of simple habits we continue to find ways to be even more simple every day on the road. Here are some ways that living a simple life, which for us means living on the road, has made us better people.
- We have a better relationship because we spend more quality time together.
- We spend a lot of time immersed in nature & that proves good for our physical & mental health.
- Our “problems” are pretty much basic needs – where to sleep, eat, & find water.
- We seem to be more thankful for the “little things” – sunshine, fresh air, even rain.
- It’s made us authentic people, which leads to better relationships & happiness all around.
- We have more interesting conversations with people & appreciate the diversity of people we’ve met.
- We’ve learned such a mix of skills that our ability to find work has expanded greatly.
- We’re better at “getting stuff done,” “DIYs,” and “cheap or smart solutions”
- We’re better parents (to our dogs). Our dogs have a better life than they would being otherwise.
- We understand the world better because we’ve seen so much first-hand. Each day we seem to get a new lesson.
- We wake up with the sun! Seriously, it shines in the windows or tent.
- We’re like kids. We explore, goof off, get amazed by the world around us.
