Came across a new book in the sell-the-house-and-hit-the-road-and-write-about-it genre:
Going Gypsy: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All
According to the reviews, the book is mainly about the empty nester aspect, which -- since I don't have kids -- is of limited interest to me. Some of you may already be familiar with their blog, which focuses on their travels.
I'm not sure there really is a growing "home free" or "gypsy" movement, although obviously some folks are doing this and it's generating a good amount of media coverage.
To me, it sounds like an exhausting existence, particularly when combined with the pressures of maintaining a blog. Travel adds a lot of spice to life, but you can't live off spice alone. I like to have a home -- and community -- to come back to.
