Over the years I had amassed loads of stuff, most of which was dead weight.

Jeanine your hair is beautiful. Your such a strong beautiful woman. I don't think I'd be willing to part with my sentimental things. My mom's jewelry etc. She died years ago.

I've been trying to declutter my space lately, so totally understand how tough it can be. I cleared out all my old toys from when I was a kid, that was tough but memories and future adventures are always better than stuff. I did keep a couple of sentimental ones though😊😊. Well done you two, onwards and upwards to your next big adventure 😀😀, can't wait to see where you end up next😊

It's really tough isn't it, especially toys from childhood 😔 But as you say, onwards and upwards. It's time for freedom and memories 💚 thank you Nikki

I admire your dedication to van life but I've never understood why owning possessions is a bad thing and something to be scorned. It seems to very fashionable now, I hope you don't regret it.

@@ThoseHappyDays that's interesting, I guess it's a very personal thing. I love and hate my possessions in equal measure but having a family makes it impossible to get rid of everything
