As I mentioned last week, this is a significant time of transition for me. Specifically with regards to living conditions and location. In a search for a new place to live, I have started to re-define my understanding of “home.”
I have the luxury of working from anywhere there is good Internet access. This means that something as out of the ordinary as living in an RV for a couple of years is actually “in the cards.”
