What nomadic life looks like when it stops being an adventure and becomes your actual life.

Five years. Seventy-plus house sits. Four vehicle configurations. More kilometres of Australian road than we can count.

Five Years and Counting is the book for nomads who are in it for the long term — or who want to be. It covers what happens after the learning curve flattens:

• Finding your rhythm — slow travel, seasonal patterns, avoiding burnout

• Long-term financial health — tax, superannuation, building wealth on the road

• Health and wellness — medical care, mental health, staying fit, ageing well

• Equipment evolution — what you actually need after years of real use

• Lifestyle adjustments — when to change course, how relationships evolve, major decisions

The final chapter — The Five-Year Perspective — is a direct, honest, unreserved case for doing this life while the window is open. Not someday. Now.

Because the fears are real. But they were all smaller than the life waiting on the other side of them.
