We find ourselves at something of a crossroads.
In the last 18 months we have worked at some wonderful places - and most places we've worked at more than once. There's something special about getting to know the people and feeling you're becoming part of a community.
It would be easy to build up a 'work cirucit', returning to the same places and jobs year after year.
But is this really why we gave up our 'regular' jobs and built a home with wheels?
This time three years ago we were at Outward Bound - an experience we credit with helping us find the courage to make such a big change to our lifestyle.
Having proved wrong our fears of not finding enough work to fund our life on the road, do we now have the courage to let go of our safe options and find work in other places? It's like making a continual series of fresh starts.
One thing we have learned, though, is how much work there is around for people who are willing to ask for it - and just get stuck in and do it.
The South Island beckons. We realise it's not going away, but we'd really like to get there this year. So planning and the job search has started - we'd like to have something organised before taking such a big step.
