2017 is upon us and – like many Australians – grey nomads will be busy trying to survive their first few days living up to their ambitious list of New Year’s resolutions.
Happily though, the freedom of the open road tends to make achieving even the most demanding of those resolutions more realistic.
While conventional wisdom has it that 25% of people will have given up on their New Year’s goals within a week of January 1, the odds should be much better for grey nomads living a dream lifestyle without the stresses and strains of everyday working life to constrain them.
According to researchers, the most popular aims are to lose weight, be more organised, get fitter, make more effort to develop a better relationship, and simply to enjoy life more and be less stressed.
For caravanners and motorhomers cruising across the country without tight time restraints, with endless opportunities to explore new places and meet new people, with the choice to move on from places and neighbours that don’t suit, with the option of changing any plans or schedule at a moment’s notice, and with all the time in the world to plan and organise and dream, the year ahead promises to be one that delivers all the items on that New Year’s Resolutions List … and a lot more besides.
What are your resolutions for 2017 … and are you going to achieve them?
