Ok. Look. I admit it. I'm a freakshow.
But I'm wondering if anyone has made a life (a complete lifestyle) of being on the road constantly.
I mean: No house. No car. No wife. No kids.
No life.
Except, The Road.
More than ever, thanks to the internet, now a person can lead a virtual "life". You can bank on the internet; communicate with friends/family/work on the internet; even, um, 'socialize' on the internet.
Ok, I'm not talking about working constantly for 30 days. I'm talking about working your normal schedule but spending your "days off" somewhere different every month.
Spend your days off visiting friends that you haven't seen for years. Spend your days off visiting family that you haven't seen for years. Spend your days off visiting countries you've always wanted to see. You would be able to spend your days off *exactly* as *you* wanted to.
You wouldn't be saddled with home improvement projects or "honey do" lists, or visiting in-laws you detest or anything else you didn't want to do.
It's almost perfect.
And yet, so freakin' weird--almost dysfunctional.
Have you ever done it? Known anyone that has done it? Would you choose it for yourself if you could? Or is it symptomatic of something else that's totally wrong and defective in one's character.
Be honest.
