An Aussie family has been traveling all around the country for the past five years, and counting on the income from an investment property to make it possible.
Amy and Jack Bell, 30 and 31 respectively, and their three kids, originally from the Gold Coast, have been living the life for the last half a decade – all while escaping the rat race during which so many others across the country are currently stuck.
The Bells don’t work a stable job and are mortgage free, using the money they make from renters of their investment property to fund their lifestyle. Additionally they land odd jobs along the solution to top up their bank accounts.
“As we work and travel, we pick up opportunities for work all across Australia,” Ms. Bell said, based on 7 News.
“As an alternative of Jack needing separate accommodation for work, all of us travel together in our caravan — eliminating the necessity for a mortgage payment. This recent lifestyle has opened up incredible possibilities for our family.”
The couple have travelled greater than 150,000 kilometres across Australia of their caravan, visiting every state and lapping the country.
Their three young kids have been in tow the entire time, aged 7, 5 amd 3
The Bells share their nomad lifestyle with their 74,000 followers on Instagram.
It wasn’t all the time like this for the Bell couple, though.
They’d been grinding away of their jobs for years and took a leap of religion to trade all of it in for a life on the move.
“We had been managing a mortgage since we were 18, a full house renovation, working full-time, getting married, and raising two children. It was time for us to enjoy some quality family time after years of exertions,” Ms. Bell said.
In order that they sold their primary home and took to a life on the road, and haven’t looked back since.
They’ve an investment property in Brisbane which they said is their “backup plan.”
Mr. and Ms. Bell have invested in higher vehicles to make their recent lifestyle more manageable.
In addition to owning a caravan, in addition they have an Izuzu truck, which is stuffed with equipment they need for Jack’s work as a shopfitter, and a ship.
“We also upgraded our caravan to a spacious 23-foot Lotus, which handles off-road adventures like a dream,” Ms. Bell said.
“Downsizing to a caravan has modified our perspective on life.
“We now have realized how little we really want. Once we eventually quiet down, we plan to go for a smaller property that requires less cleansing and maintenance.”
