Nomadic lifestyles?

Cali Cat said:
I would love to travel at will. I mean backpack style, just walk out the door and keep going.

However, my responsibilities prevent me, and I'm way too fond of daily showers and indoor plumbing in general. Money would be another obstacle.

If I ever won the lottery big time and found someone I trusted to take care of my cats, I'd be willing to give it a go though.

I understand. I don't have the desire for much interms of material thing. Things I do want I want to be things worth owning, things of high quality. I think that is why I like the idea of living nomadically. Since the more you have the harder it to travel.

As I always say: "You don't own stuff. Stuff owns you."

I prefer owning things of high quality too, and they must serve a utilitarian purpose. I don't go in much for useless bobbles sitting around collecting dust either. Of course, I live in a two-bedroom, 625sf house, which is smaller than most one-bedroom apartments, so I don't really have the room to collect junk.

Clothes are another thing. I like to have a minimal wardrobe of interchangeable items. Only enough so that I do laundry every week. Unlike most women, I have about half a dozen pairs of shoes, including my house slippers and wellies.

I'm a minimalist, but I love to be comfortable. I want to be able to grab what I need when I need it.

I understand completely as I live a travel trailer. I don't own many clothes infact I own 2 pair of shoes both of witch are boots. Practically everything I own is somewhat utilitarian it has too be considering my lack of space and my tendency to be hard on my things.

Why do you say that? I'm not sure to reconcile that either. LOL :)

Well as a missionaries son and ministers son I am used to moving to strange places and you get to feeling after a few years it is time to move again and do something new. But as a auti/aspie I do not like new stuff causing overload much either. So my auti side wars with my adventurous side...maybe my sailboat is a good compromise as I can explore and stay at home at the same time.?:)
