Hello and welcome to Finding Farkas! For those of you who don’t know us, we are a family of four (five with Socks, our cat). The big news? We’re planning a major lifestyle change. We’re downsizing our possessions to upgrade our lifestyle. What does this mean? We’re selling our almost 5,000 square foot house in Minnesota (officially on the market as of TODAY) and going to purchase a 450(ish) square foot 5th wheel camper, which we’ll use to travel the US.

Are we crazy?? Yes, possibly! We’ve become burned out with our traditional lifestyle and want something more for our family. More freedom, more travel, more time together. We also want less… less stuff, less space, less stress. While preparing our house to hit the market we’ve had the pleasure of selling, donating, and trashing SO MUCH STUFF. It’s been a huge weight lifted off our shoulders and we were surprised to learn how little we actually need and use on a day to day basis.

You may be asking, “how in the world is that going to work with two young kids?” Well, I will continue to work my corporate job (now fully remote instead of hybrid) to finance our dream. Dustin will continue to be super dad while he steps into the role of Teacher to homeschool Kai and Reya. As for the kids, they’ll get more time with mom and dad, and the adventure of a lifetime. Oh, and they’re super excited about the bunk beds, of course.

Stay tuned as we document this journey, the good, the bad, and the ugly!
