I wish I could have participated. My husband and I uprooted our two teens 3 years ago. We’re now going to help one move back to the states and then we don’t know where we’re going yet. Our eldest is following our lead. She’s in the UK for 3 years of university and then, who knows? We do it by owning very little, and relying heavily on our computers and phones and Skype. My husbands clients don’t mind he’s not physically where they are. If he needs to be, he will goes. We’re 53 and 59. We just didn’t want to be bound anymore by cars, houses, bar b ques blah blah boring blah! We’ve never been happier and our kids have really grown from the experience.

bore da Rolf?, wow ive just come across your site, i am a Welshman living in Arbroath, Scotland. i did a trip from Portugal around Spain then across france in April/May 07 with bugger all cash on a cycle out of the refuse with no brakes. Hell for first few days, but i grew to love the struggle. i lost two stone in weight and it was the single best experience of my life. looked like a tramp at the end. Ive since reversed the trip with money and it didnt compare to the first trip. skint again now and happier

Interesting, thanks! Didn’t know there was a term to describe, the living situation toward which I’m patiently preparing myself for in my work and personal life (I’m on a 4 year plan).
