I kinda already do. It's weird; I think it's a big part of the reason why I go out and get all these nice things to stuff inside an address I never see. Television, The Couch, motorcycle, girlfriend, etc. I want to feel like I have an anchor somewhere. Living out of a backpack gets old at times. My next big goal is to find a job where I can have things like friends and hobbies because I'm not stuck on another planet long periods of time doing nothing.
As far as I see it, the way Modern Society (TM) functions isn't conducive to this type of lifestyle for more than a few years. You have to start with an address and end with an address, even if you have to fake it. The popular white person habit of traveling the globe without the burden of such a thing is fun and all if but whimsical. When is a good time to do this sort of thing? After college? Before kids? Things like having a decent-paying job and saving for retirement and relationships come into play and you realize that a home of record is just as important as your social security number in many ways. It's not that it can't be done, just that the way that many normal life goals would make it incredibly difficult to do. Having kids on the road? They gotta go to school somehow. That and if you don't have anywhere to store all your consumer-society things where you can access them regularly (such as in another consumer-society item: the single family home), you can't own a whole lot because you're limited to whatever you can carry. That changes a person.
Very Atom Smasher-y, Bagatelle. I approve.
And I don't envy your lifestyle, G~man.
