text: It’s no secret that Australians love to travel. The thing is, we also love to own our own home. Can you do both? It turns out most people can!
  There’s this myth that once you take out a mortgage you’re locked down in Australia for good. Or at least for the foreseeable future.
  Research just out from InsureandGo shows most people (55%) go on at least one overseas holiday within three years of buying their home.
  More interesting still, 21% of home owners travel overseas within their first year of buying a home, and 39% within two years.
  Then there’s the 10% who are super keen to scratch that travel bug itch and go jet-setting within six months of buying a home.
  Nowadays you can get ahead of the pack and receive free email notifications when a jaw-dropping deal is going through services such as I Know the Pilot and Scott’s Cheap Flights.
  They’ll send you an email alert when they’ve found a cheap airfare that matches any airports you’d like to depart from and arrive at.
  We take it for granted sometimes, but don’t forget that 8.8 million people travel from all across the world to visit our beautiful country each year.
  The first few years of your mortgage may serve as the perfect chance to join them in exploring our vast continent.
