Crazy weather, Melbourne Road trips and a few Black Friday deals that seem cool!

Hey Reader

I'm sitting here writing this email in our home in Adelaide... and it's bucketing! We've just got back from a great trip to Melbourne to visit some family, and we plan to stay put for a few weeks while Jas finishes Kindy.

Crazy!

If you're new to our community, I homeschool Alex our eldest, but Jas is attempting Kindy when we're at home. We'll see how things go - both kids are Autistic with great talents, but also some struggles. I don't share much about their struggles as I'll leave it for them to disclose in the future if they choose, but I don't want to add to the stigma that Autism is a superpower... they have exceptional skills, but also large challenges.

Anyway, back to travel and exciting stuff...

I've been revamping our website to make it easier to navigate. We love sharing stories of cool places we find, Tim enjoys writing the technical side of caravanning, and I have a large section all about Freelancing, as I know there are some of you interested in working on the road.

If you would like to receive emails specifically about freelancing, click here and I'll add you to the list if you're not already:)

Yep, it's coming up to Black Friday deals again!

If you've been dreaming of proper off-grid power for your caravan or campsite, now is a beaut time to check out the deals from BLUETTI. They're having a big Black Friday Sale with some crackers, like their popular AC180 unit at its lowest price ever.

This is the gear that'll keep your fridge cold, the lights on, and all your gadgets charged when you're miles from a powered site. It’s a great chance to set yourself up for real off-grid freedom before the next big trip.

4. Freelancing Fundamentals for Travellers

Ever dream of funding your adventures while you're on the road? We're always asked how we make money while travelling, and this is a big part of it. If you've got basic computer skills, you can build an income that travels with you. I created this course to show others how to work as a freelancer online - trading real time for real money.

I can't offer wild claims of making money while you sleep or anything like that - but I can offer the chance to have an actual job while travelling - one that you can pick and choose your own hours. It's pretty cool!

Our "Freelancing Fundamentals for Travellers" course is the no-fluff, 6-week guide to turning your existing skills into a legit remote income. We'll show you exactly how to find clients, what to charge, and set a real business up - specifically written for Aussie travellers.
