A previous post considered what it would be like to live in a tree house. But many of us dream of living on a boat. Here’s a 42 ft. boat that may fit your dream. Living on a boat would make the entire globe “local.” Like a turtle, your home goes with you, wherever you are.
Actually, because our true home is within us – our home actually does go with us wherever we are!
While most of us may not be able to actually live on a boat like this – we can look for the great ideas of boat-life living that make good use of small spaces.
Clean lines, comfortable fabrics, sky lights, dual purpose furnishings and multi-level storage are the order of the day here. Although, it seems to me that the cabinet knobs would be intrusive or poking. However, I don’t live on a boat, so maybe the knobs work better. Of course, the amount of stuff is kept to a bare minimum. How much stuff do we really need?
Have you ever lived out of a backpack or small pilot bag for an extended period of time? I have. You realize how little you really need to live comfortably day to day. Author Rita Golden Gelman lived out of a backpack for fifteen years and wrote about her experience in her fascinating book, Tales of a Female Nomad. Experiences and relationships filled her life rather than stuff and shopping.
Engage your creativity. What will move us out into the world? Living on a boat is fun to imagine, think about, dream about. Ahoy!
