After finishing my recent fantasy book, I’ve turned to another kind of fantasy, a non-fiction book called Home Sweet Anywhere. It is written by a couple who, after retirement, sold (almost) all their worldly possessions, and used their retirement nest egg to travel very slowly to different countries around the world. They didn’t just visit, they actually lived in different cities for at least a month or so before moving on.
By using the internet and different connections that they made along the way, they were able to experience a completely new lifestyle. All this while both of them are over 70… very impressive. The author is a first time writer, and it shows, but as far as travel writing goes it is really entertaining. It makes me think about our eventual retirement and consider what we would like to do.
Tonight after work we have a plan to do a Costco run, and then head home and relax. Hopefully we’ll be able to pick up something yummy to eat as we’ve been eating burritos for the last three days. A nice quiet evening putting away the groceries sounds great.
