I absolutely hear you. I came in from the cold 13 years ago and although settling a long way from home, I'm still tied to a fixed location, albeit a beautiful location. Sadly, the location itself matters not and I still find myself drifting to sleep with thoughts of living on the road again in my old van, or more recently, thinking of buying a boat and just drifting to wherever my heart, or fate, took me once more.

This feeling never leaves you.

Luckily, here in Samui, my wife kinda understands why I cant stay stuck in the house and even if its a 10 minute ride around the block, need to simply get out.

You're also right about the cost. With a house, there's always something to fix,buy or pay for. Its never ending!

You'd suit vanlife perfectly, Mac. You have your own safe space with walls, but can move wherever you choose! Whilever you've enough money to fill the tank, of course!

TAke care and be safe and happy, Mac :-)
