We are Angie & Damo, nomadic travellers and vanlifers.
We decided to jack in the rat race and create our journey of life rather than living a more conventional lifestyle, going to work to pay the mortgage or rent and our bills, stressed out and not necessarily enjoying our work!
We hatched a plan and now our home is literally where we park it!So – this is us – no more rat race anymore. No more going into the office or into school to teach. That is not to say that we no longer work – we do – but on the things that we enjoy, on the things that do not bring in a steady income – that is a scary thing for a lot of people.
For me (Angie) I spend a lot of my time writing articles and planning trips. Travel is my big love in life – after my children! At this point in time, I have travelled to around 70 countries – and with my life on the road – I expect that to start increasing. Not Quite North allows me to share all my/our experiences with you and my mum and kids know whats happening too! I still travel solo as well and I like to maintain that level of independence.
Damo is a film maker (which is handy!) creating lots of the material for ‘Not Quite North’, and a composer (yes, we have a music studio in the moho!), www.sticklebackmusic.com, writing music for TV and corporate clients.
Follow us on our journey – share our knowledge, our lessons learned, our research and our experiences on Not Quite North – and if you bump into us – say hello – we would love to chat.
