Description

What would it take to leave everything behind and start again? For Karen and Vince, known as Chasing the Civellos, the answer was simple: sell the house, sell the business, and set off in a motorhome to discover what they call big lap freedom.

In this episode of Big Lap Chats, they share their raw and real story of moving from burnout and disconnection to a life of reconnection, simplicity, and slow travel.

From shedding possessions and realising how little “stuff” they really needed, to discovering the joy of free camping, working seasonal jobs, and exploring Australia at their own pace, their journey is full of practical insights and heart.

We talk about:

  • Why they decided to sell everything and hit the road

  • The liberation of downsizing to only the essentials

  • How slow travel saves money and deepens experiences

  • Favourite free camps and hidden gems along the way

  • Advice for couples and grey nomads dreaming of their own lap

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to step away from the grind and embrace a simpler, more connected way of life, Karen and Vince’s story will inspire you to design your own lap, your own version of big lap freedom.
