【定年後の選択】旅の途中で迎えた、年の終わり|感謝をこめて/Boleroで日本一周『北海道周遊編』番外編
At a turning point in my life after retirement, my husband and I decided to buy a camper van and travel. It's been six months since we changed cars. How was it actually traveling? We discussed lithium batteries and plumbing in cold climates, ride comfort and ease of use, the pros and cons, and whether this was the right decision. Although we're still in the middle of our journey, we took a moment to quietly chat and express our gratitude as we approach the end of the year. Thank you so much to everyone who watched the Doumin Couple's videos and supported us with comments and messages this year. We hope to continue this channel next year without overdoing it, cherishing our travels and our lives. We'd be happy if you stopped by again during your travels if you have time.
