We...Yes, we think this is a beautiful area as well. We have enjoyed our time here.<br /><br />We do generate some money from the blog in the form of advertising but unfortunately it's not enough to survive on. In the past we have worked during the summer and one winter back in Canada and we will be doing the same this summer as well. Actually Kevin talks about our job at a new campground in the very next post. We work from May 1st until the end of September. We have also learned to live fairly simple lives when we are traveling and don't mind making our on meals by staying in hostels or small self catering places to keep costs down.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-11482886975373959022014-02-23T15:09:39.129-05:002014-02-23T15:09:39.129-05:00Hi Kevin/Ruth, just started to read your blog, ins...Hi Kevin/Ruth, just started to read your blog, inspiring (by the way, we also were last year at Graaf-Reinet and the valley of desolation, beautiful). Just wondering, as we are approaching 50 years of age, and want this lifestyle as well, what income do you generate, it seems you get partially paid for travel, or what do you mean that you sometimes work? Just curious how you generate some cashflow while being on the road all the time, thanks for a reply.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102012293238025616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51234358815450333292014-02-22T05:42:42.257-05:002014-02-22T05:42:42.257-05:00Thanks Paul and Marti!Thanks Paul and Marti!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51162278329140817682014-02-22T05:39:04.379-05:002014-02-22T05:39:04.379-05:00Yep, but we still have a couple of months before t...Yep, but we still have a couple of months before that happens. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-49630609908500080762014-02-22T05:33:35.996-05:002014-02-22T05:33:35.996-05:00We agree Bob, we have done quite well in terms of ...We agree Bob, we have done quite well in terms of our expenses, especially if you look at what Randy above mentioned that some people pay for a safari per day!
