I know it may sound crazy but I have been thinking lately about whethe having a small house on wheels will tie me down to living in one place. If I have the desire to travel outsode of the country I will need to find a place to park it and soemone to watch it. This could cost money, which is something that I have little of and the little I do posses I try to spend on things i need and not luxaries like a parking spot. I have the desire to live without a mortage, rent or utility bill and paying for a parking space feels very much like having to pay rent. The thought of it Depresses me.
A new thought has entered my mind and that thought is to buy some land in the middle of nowhere for a few hundred dollars and build a house on it to serve as my base camp from where I can take trips and have a place to lay my head when I return. The thought of this is comforting to me, but the practicality of it is still hazey.
So many ideas and dreams are circulating through my head. Only one month until I graduate from college and I have no idea of what life will look like. I know no one looks at this blog but if you do keep your opinions to yourself. Three/fourths the fun of an experience is the unexpected. it will all work out. My faith is anchored is Christ.

Geoffrey,
ReplyDeleteSomeone is looking at your blog. It's fun to see what you are doing and your idea about buying some land in the middle of nowhere sounds like something Uncle Robert would want to do too. We look forward to the continued progress and news of where your "journey" takes you.

Actually, I look at your blog, too. : ) I'm one of your coworkers this summer in NH. This is super cool. You don't have family that would let you park at their place while traveling? My other idea is finding some people that live on a bunch of land and trading some manual labor for parking your house at their place for a summer or winter or whatever. Kind of like workamping?
