Are we homeless?

Cecilie Conrad·Feb 15, 2021

Technically we are homeless – But the abundance of freedom, the beautiful sunshine, the adventures, and the peace is amazing.

A milestone in our travels was to sell our old home in Copenhagen. Before that, we could reverse the whole project and go back to a lifestyle closer to the mainstream. Before that, we could dream of “coming home”. Before that it was temporary.

After the first year, testing out the lifestyle, we clearly wanted to go on. Living together 24/7 was and is the best part of this lifestyle, and being location independent was such a relief. Moving with the sun, and with our hearts to wherever on the planet we knew to be right for us, was liberating, and we did not at all want to let go of all that beautiful freedom.

So, we sold the house. It felt wild, and we needed to talk a lot about it before we did it, but when it was actually done we never looked back. It is such a relief to not have a house to worry about, no bills, not maintenance, no tenants. And no going back. If we would like to live somewhere it would be a new chapter, not going back to the old one. It felt right.

Technically we are homeless. We have multiple #TinyHouseOnWheels (an 11 meters bus & a VW Multivan – It might not sound like abundance. But it is. The abundance of freedom, the beautiful sunshine, the adventures, and the peace is amazing.

And we know we are always at home when we are together and following our hearts. Our home is not a place, not some walls. Our home is our dreams, our family, our language(s), our connection, our vibration.

May the sun shine on you.

Unschooling and Parent consulting, conversations, blogposts, and podcasts on family life and learning

Hi, I'm Cecilie Conrad. I'm a trained psychologist, mother of four, radical unschooler and full-time traveller. I have lived with unschooling for over a decade and help other families find their own path – whether it is about homeschooling, unschooling, or the bigger question of how you want to live as a family.

I offer guidance, conversations and talks. I call my work grandmothering – not coaching in the traditional sense, but presence, professional insight and concrete help navigating motherhood and finding your way home to your own values.

Am I the right person to help you? You can book a free discovery call, and we'll talk and figure it out.
