Most people travel in their 20ies and settle down in their 30ies. I'm doing things a bit differently. We settled down in our 20ies. We bought an old house and renovated it completely with 2nd hand and ecological materials (for pics look at www.mier.be/gebouw). We planted a food forest to become self sufficient in our food and heating. We set up a non profit organisation called Mier (ant) which designs and plants permaculture gardens, food forests, green roofs all over Flanders. I give workshops about wild edibles and soap plants.
But now it's time for me, time to get out of my comfort zone, time to discover the world and rediscover myself, time to set out my own track.
