Getting Stranger Every Day

It’s been a dream of mine for a few years now to experience living all over the country, and possibly even the world.  There are so many places I want to try out — Maine, Kentucky, California, Seattle, Portland, Virginia Beach, and New York City, to name a few here in the United States.  Abroad, I would love to experience living in Canada, England, and Australia.  Born and raised here, never having had the chance to try out anywhere else, I love the idea of staying in one place for a year or so, and then moving along to a new spot.

Of course relocating is not cheap.  Even with the best deals on movers, it’s just not feasible to move every year.  Not to mention the work of packing and unpacking in each new place!  Being a nomad is just not affordable for the average person — and while I’m anything but average, financially, I’m stuck here for awhile longer.

Once we sell our house and save up some money, we are going to make a local move for a couple more years.  Then, we will finally be ready for a cross country move.  At least I’m no longer a business owner — corporate relocation is probably far more costly than residential moving. 

I have been investigating areas for our next big move and it looks like my top choices are out for now.  We are seriously thinking of finding a big plot of land in Idaho, where some friends are from, and we have found some great properties online at landandfarm.com.  I suppose we will have to make a few trips out there first to make sure we like the area — and if there’s one thing this nomad girl loves, it’s traveling!!
