At least I don't have a car to worry about, but hey, selling the ute will bring some more much needed money in for the trip, right? My brother has kindly agreed to hold my important and sentimental things until my travels are over, I've spent the last few weeks taking bags and bags of clothes I've barely ever worn to charity shops. But there still seems to be piles and piles of stuff that I've just no idea what to do with. I guess a few "cover of dark" excursions in search of local skips I can make use of are on the cards! .-= Brendan´s last blog ..Lessons learned on the road #1 =-.

Alas I need to sell it to cover the loan I currently have on it. It will pay itself off when sold but would be nice to have that money go into my pocket but it can't be. I've now got a lot of stuff at home with the parents and this weekend I intend to get myself organised and bundle up clothes and other items for charity. The fact I've now been living in a shoe box room for so long makes it easy for me to make the final step back home for 2 weeks before I depart australia.

I'm currently renting a bedroom for a bargain price off my sister so I can save more. Its not about where you stay or the like, travel is our goal and we do what it takes to get it. I can see myself returning and looking at everything I stored and thinking WTF did I keep all this for. Travel gives you perspective I think.

I stayed at home with my Dad to help save up money. Even though it was lame, I didn't have to go through this process. But it's amazing how many things a person accumulates. I was starting to pack the other day and I think I am only bringing .5% of my belongings. I looked all all my shoes and they already seem pointless! Last trip I went on was 9 months-I got home and totally forgot I owned all these things. It makes me sad, because all that money on possessions we inevitably don't need, could have been used on traveling. Wow-now that’s sacrifice! I stayed at home with my Dad to help save up money.

Mind you I'm loving the work on your blog as well so win win for both of us. Yes I can always buy another ute and I'm sure I will, this one just has sentimental value :) Hey Candice, thanks for following along nice to know I’ll be able to help someone out on my journey.

At the moment the important items are stored back home on the family property. All I have with me currently fits into the room I rent. Motorcycle I can see why your keeping that. I put off getting one when I decided to travel figure it can come later. The ute has to go as I need to pay the loan out on it and I don't want it just left sitting in a shed.

Although honestly, I own so much "precious" stuff, I'd probably just store it in a locker somewhere. You can always buy another ute!
