Mail while on the road
(Preview)
We are just getting organised to become Grey Nomads. We have sold our house and have no contacts here that we can use as a mail address. One option is to rent a Post Office Box and then get mail sent on from that to whereever we happen to be. Does anyone know of other options ?.
