Anyone from the UK?

There is something about simplifying life that really appeals.
Some years back I had a six month “hillbilly Thoreau” experience, living in a derelict camper on a small farm I owned, and it was pretty damned satisfying tbh.
I have given serious thought to the canal boat thing, but the numbers would have to work financially. Seems like a lot of narrowboaters have done what I describe, sell all their landholdings, leave their job, buy a boat… then struggle to get by. Plus, I don’t think any country in their right mind is going to long term visa a 60 yo reprobate such as myself… and I doubt my daughter would come visit me 🙃
I’d be the one flying back and forth… it is a very nice dream though.

I love travelling as it gives the sane feeling. Backpacking with a few friends and seeing where you end up.

Crack on mate, mainly non judgemental thread. The only thing we judge is deft...
