I love that Steiner quote and it seemed apt!! Oh yes the ax wielding friend was the first time I had a panic attack. I ended up in hospital. I was fine and knew that he wouldn't hurt me but boy my body told me otherwise!!!!!!

Yes, they were given a bad rep that's for sure. Ironic considering the rise of the tiny house movement now!!! There was definitely a big push to get rid of anyone anti-establishment. When I met Jamie, he lived in a truck, so he'd been part of that movement and lived on a few sites. I used to go visit him when he was parked up on site in Brighton, so that was my first taste of that world, which really took my fancy to be honest!! When I moved over we lived in a house for a few years so that we could give our relationship a head start without all the stress and complications of site life. Then we moved back onto one for about a year whilst we saved to come back to Australia.

There's quite a big history and quite a lot of stories that come out of the new traveller movement, that's for sure. Still miss it. It's not as common now - its harder to do I think. And people get sick of being evicted. It's hard. Yet there's that hankering back to the days of old where you could live on the land without being forced into homes and walls you don't acdtually want to be in.
