Sophie and I left Austria on September 30th as programmed with our van filled with personal belongings and equipment just as border closures began. We left behind a mountain of ‘stuff’, some of which we sold but mostly we just gave it all away. And yet, despite our best efforts to be as ‘light’ as possible, we found ourselves driving away from Austria with a floor to ceiling packed van that had barely enough room for us to drive. The van (that we were going to live and work in) didn’t even have a place to sleep.
