I’ve been reading some of the blog posts of the Location Independent Group Writing Project and really enjoying them.  I especially enjoyed Cody McKibben’s entry on his take on it.

Work-life balance and (attempts at) self-management are two of the most important elements of how I live my life. It’s important to me to spend my very limited time here doing things that make a difference and that make me happy, rather than simply sinking all of my time into a job and playing the normal game of “delayed gratification” like a majority of people do (I think they call it “retirement”).

The Challenges and Rewards of Living Adventurously

While I’ve come to terms with the fact that this is not something I can do right now (kids in school, wanting to give them stability and financial security) it  has made me think about my dream a lot today.  When the kids are grown up and (hopefully) out of the house I want to buy a mobile  home and travel where ever the mood takes us (me and my hubby) and just live a nomadic lifestyle.  If I’d known that people could actually live that kind of life 20 years ago I dare say my life would be different.  But then I wouldn’t be who I am.

I have this thing about water – I want to be by water all the time and right now I’m not – so I want to travel in my mobile home and park by water all the time.  Lakes and oceans all over the States and Canada.  I guess we’ll have to travel inland to see family a couple times a year but … that’s my dream.

Having read some of the Independent Location post, I’m inspired.  I think I really can do it.  And I’m really looking forward to it.
