I have for SO SO SO long wanted to start a blog. I’ve wanted to do it. I’ve even tired out a few free options, but they have basically not lasted.

Last year when we decided to go for our big travel, I thought to myself “ok, this is it, such a great opportunity to start a blog”. I set the date that by the time we left Finland (September 1, 2018), I would have a blog. When that happened, I put the deadline to a few weeks later, that it would be started by the time we were leaving Europe (September 11, 2018). And still nothing happened!

After this I decided to put it on the shelf for a while… After all, we ended up spending a huge chunk of our savings to buy our campervan which will be introduced in another blogpost. Working what the only option for us to do in order to travel some more later. How exciting is housekeeping to blog about? So I put it on the shelf again. And just before new years again, it felt like  I “had” to do it, as a part of “New year, new you”. But that time it was the domain name not being available. So again, I postponed it.

And then I turned 28. We have less than 6 months left of our visa here. And the urge came back, to start a blog, to write about what we do. I felt like I came to a crossroad. If I am ever to start a blog about our travels, the time is now, and not later. Because later wouldn’t make any sense. Already trying to remember details from the first part of our travels have lost some of the details. So definitely felt that this was somehting I needed to make a decision on, no more stalling and only dreaming about it.

We had an afternoon planned at the library in Timaru, and I decided to go for it. The domain name was available, there was enough funds on the credit card, the decision was made. And here we now are, we have a blog!

What’s something that you have dreamed about for a long time and finally made a decision on acting on? What helped you reach a decision? Let me know in the comments below!
