Would you consider living life on the road?

I seems that the number of modern day nomads is increasing due to the economy. What are the chances you might consider something like this, or do you need a home and a stable community?

Life on the road has always had this strange sort of appeal for me. Maybe I'm just a hippie at heart. Maybe I'm just overworked. But there's something very nice-sounding about the prospect of picking up and going somewhere, who knows where, and then somewhere else. It's freeing; it's interesting. It's not a desk for the rest of my life.

I would have to have a few stipulations, though. As much as I wish I didn't have to say it, as a woman in today's society, safety is much more of a concern for me than it would be for, say, a man. So I'd hope I would have places to stay that I knew would be safe. Comfortable places, preferably, but it's about safety. And I'd definitely need a laptop and wireless Internet. I'm just that addicted. Otherwise, sign me up! (Perhaps...)

Yes, actually - I think I would consider life on the road. I'm a freelance writer and as long as I can get an internet connection I can work. I imagine it would be pretty interesting to be able to just move around and stop wherever I wanted to at any given time.

I'm not 100% sure everyone would agree, though. There's a great blog called Life on the Road which is about the life truckers live as they travel. I imagine their experiences must be much different.

I definitely would, if I could have a nice small camper to sleep in, and set myself up in campgrounds along the way.

If I can build up a residual income to where I can afford it, I will definitely consider doing this in the future. I can type from anywhere, and it's usually easy enough to find a library or a signal to upload your stuff online. I think that if I could be guaranteed an income, and safety (only camping in safe campgrounds), I would love doing this. It may actually be the only way I could afford to do it, as I can't really afford flying and motel rooms.

this sounds like the perfect lifestyle for me after the kids leave home. As a freelance writer I can work almost anywhere. If the 'flow' is not good in one area I could pick up and move to the next town. I would also escape the cold winters her in PA if I went south in the winter, and return in the summer to avoid that awful heat down there..

good question,

My other half and I plan to go on the road as soon as the kids are grown. We are putting money away for our RV. As a freelance writer I can work from anywhere I can get an internet connection so with a wireless card I can make a weekly paycheck while we see the country.

Our choice is not due to the economy so much as because we have been tied down raising our kids and unable to afford regular vacations. We will still have a house, and cars, and plan to spend the Holidays at home each year, other than that we will be on the road. I am looking forward to it.
