The most i've ever been able to do was half a year. How can you choose to be without a real home that long?
- peteretep 6y ago> How can you choose to be without a real home that long? Depends what you mean by "real home" I guess. I have a tiny apartment in Bangkok, where we would normally spend ~ 8 weeks a year in total a year, and then we rent ad-hoc or stay with family the rest
- seppin 6y agoAh ok you are married. Do you have long term friends locally ? Is your wife your anchor to a local community ?
- peteretep 6y ago> Do you have long term friends locally? Not really sure what that means, but most places we go we have friends we’ve known for many years, and those are often other nomadish types. > Is your wife your anchor to a local community? No, she’s from even further away than me
- seppin 6y agoRight but actual roots / connection to a local community, besides fellow travelers / tourists? I personally never felt more than a temporary resident in most places i've been.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoI've travelled single and as part of a couple. Doing this as a couple is hands-down easier. Cheaper, less stressful, and a lot less lonely. Not only because constant companionship, but also because striking up random friendships is easier if the whole "is he hitting on me?" thing is off the table because the girlfriend is right there too ;)
- moltar 6y agoI didn't say I was homeless :D I have a home base, but I spend 6 months or more outside of my home country.
