Good !
But I hate the feeling of spacelessness, being up in the air,

I guess I just have an over active imagination,
but it feels like I cannot stay inside my skin when flying,
like out of body experiences,

and that worries me.:)

(when the children were very young, and we flew over the Atlantic at least twice a year, it was much easier, as I was busy mom, feeding and entertaining them.)

when I took my children there for a few days before we walked around Loire

(when we returned home my childrens' father was not that happy, as I had phoned him and begged some money...:) what happened to me ? I used to be so proud and conservative ?:) almost boring housewife ? :D)

With the years, I have learned to trust my own intuition,
and it says that this the next step..and I am really BORED here in UK, last winter I was really depressed with all that cold and rain, so no more that!

I am very devoted mother,
whatever I do I put my heart into it,
so I try to educate my children also myself, giving them experiences of different ways of living etc.(so they won't be that judgemental etc.) and the best way to learn new languages is to live in the country where it is spoken.

I guess I am doing fine, as my children have always been in the best set in their forms, whichever country we may have lived.

(my daughter is finishing her GCSEs in a week.)

It is not my way of doing things.(though I am very practical person, not a risk taker, quite realistic.)

I get a work, and put the children in the local school,
and live in a tent until we have money to rent an apartment...(so we need to move during the summer before it gets cold.)

(I am hard working.)

Yes, we love walking, the journey starts with one step...
(Summer 2007 we walked most parts from Land's End back to Scotland...)

IMHO getting in a strangers car with two daughters and crossing a country is a risk. Dont get me wrong I have done a lot of Hitchhiking used to enjoy it no end, But I have come across a fair few oddballs. Advertising it openly on a Forum magnifies the risk. But that is my opinion.

You are absolutely right with it ! :thumbsup:

as I wrote before I am not a risk taker, I have learn my ways with people,
(worked with many different kind of people)

if you are honest, others see your honestly,

but there are those "oddballs" who do not play by any rules...
best to be avoided.

I have that inner born intuition,
and if I get any negatives "vibes" out of anyone, I do not take any risks,
I keep away.

I am very aware of that!

But, I do not let fear , or "oddballs" to make my life small, full of fear.

Life is about freedom.
