We always lived on John's salary, and whatever I earned was put aside for remodeling or for traveling. That's how we can afford to do this. We've been very conservative, lived very frugally. We were almost self-contained, raising our own fruits and vegetables and rabbits. About the only thing we bought was milk.

The thing to emphasize is that we're on a journey, and it's not for the destination. It's where we are, what we're experiencing, rather than trying to click off this place and that place. It isn't getting there, it's the process of being there.

Our goal in life has been to see the world. As a kid you said you wanted to dig to China. Well, I wanted to see what China looked like, so that was one of the first places we went. We raised our children, got them through college, then we climbed the Great Wall, did the whole thing. And we gutted the house.
