Matilda on Tour - 75 Days In — And Home Is Starting To Appear On The Horizon

As we reach 75 days on the road and home slowly starts getting closer, I’ve noticed something shifting a little.

It’s strange really — almost like the brain quietly starts preparing itself for going home again.

There are lots of positive thoughts about it. Seeing family and friends again,. Slipping back into familiar routines, getting back to golf, cycling, walking and all those ordinary little weekly things that somehow disappear while travelling.

But mixed in with that is also the thought of what “real life” will feel like again after living this completely different rhythm for so long.

Out here, life becomes much simpler in some ways. Weather forecasts matter more than dates, plans constantly change, and little things like finding a quiet lakeside café or a good overnight stop become part of everyday life.

There’s definitely a growing sense now of wondering whether we should slowly start edging a little closer towards home.

And yet at the same time, this trip has been amazing. So many countries, different cultures, cities, mountains, lakes and rolling countryside — far more variety than I ever imagined when we first set off.

For now though, we’re still here… still exploring, still moving, and still collecting moments along the way 🚐
