Location independent living has always held a certain appeal for me. Traveling around somehow seems - romantic. Or adventurous.
The problem for us is we have a pretty strong social network where we live. We have great friends that we depend on, and there are plenty of people who depend on us. This inter-dependency is what has prevented us from being mobile like this. I would feel like we're leaving part of ourselves behind, and we're also taking something from someone else.
Inter-dependency has it's advantages, but mobility is not one of them. It would be interesting if you could address this in a future column.
