Tiny Houses and The Great Wanderlust
From Mega Yachts to Tiny Houses.
This blog all over the place.
But if you’ve read at least three posts here, you already knew that. Besides, I wouldn’t know how/where to categorize this whole blog, given the limited options provided by Google and Yahoo.
Whatever. Their loss.
Actually, “Whatever” might just be the perfect category.
But I digress. Yet again.
Lately I’ve had this sense of unrest, this sense of needing to GO. Go where, I don’t know, but just to GO. Somewhere, almost anywhere, really.
I have a bad case of wanderlust. This happens to me quite regularly. I do love my wanderlust, it takes me to the most interesting places, on some interesting journeys, and fun adventures.
But it won’t be ignored. Like an intense craving, or more like being pulled towards something. I HAVE to go. I can stave it off for a month or so by spending a day or three at the coast, either Monterey or Santa Barbara. For years that has been enough.
But not anymore. It seems my wanderlust has grown stronger. A trip to the coast only seems to stave it off or a week or two rather than a month or two. Now it calls to me ALL. THE. TIME. Three months ago it was already calling me constantly when I mentioned it in Panic Much? FEAR = F*ck Everything And Run. I still want to get a motorhome, pack in the cat, and all the shit that will fit, and hit the road. I have a list of places I want to see, most qualifying as what I affectionately call Cheezy Americana. And then there are the places like the Grand Canyon, which I have yet to see.
I don’t own a home, so this would be easy to accomplish. Recently, I saw these…
Tiny Houses from Tumbleweed Tiny House Company
They’re so cute I can’t stand it. I want one! OMG What a way to see the country. They’re beautiful inside and have many mini amenities. Now I can’t decide if I want the charm of the tiny house, or the full functionality of a motor home.
Having lived in fairly large homes, and in really tiny ones, I learned having a massive place in which to live, but no one with whom to share it makes for a hugely empty home. As long as I have my cat, a nice bed, a comfy chair, decent closet, bathroom, and kitchenette space, lots of light, internet, cell phone, TV, and peace and quiet I’m quite happy.
Being mobile with all that would be a huge bonus. And it seems an excellent cure for my wanderlust.
We have a 16 foot tow behind RV. Of course its been over 100 degrees here in Tex-ass for the past 30 days, so until the daytime highs stay under 92, we stay out of it, but soon, mid september, we hit the road. Even if for just a 4 day weekend, or a longer 8 day week, its home away from home to just do NUTHIN.
We are planning a driving vacation next year, head up north, see some places we are thinking of retiring to. Great thing about an RV, you can always change your view from the porch, and if your neighbors are too much like yourself, move to another spot LOL.
Nice! (the 16′, not the heat). I have wondered about a motorhome or tiny home’s ability to maintain a decent interior temperature during heatwaves and freezes. We’re just now getting a short heatwave here after an unseasonably cool summer.
I’d be tempted to find a spot at the beach and never move. I have wondered how hard it is to find good spots to settle with a tiny home. There are always the motorhome parks or campgrounds, but Ive heard mixed reviews.
Enjoy your vacation! You should blog about it so we can all live vicariously 🙂
That little thing is very cute. I love to travel. Road trips with no destination are my absolute favorite!!! Where are you going? Away! People look at me like I have lost my mind, but, of course, we all know that you can’t lose what you sold for nice shoes. 😉
LOL Speaking of shoes… I’m reading a book by Daniel G Amen, ‘The Brain In Love’. In it he says the sensory center for the foot is located right next to that for the clitoris in the brain. He goes on to explain that shoe shopping is foreplay for women. He’s not joking.
Men, take your lady shoe shopping.
wanderlust is just an awesome word!
ps: i lust for those houses. i’m running away with one.
Wanderlust is the best! I’ve never seen one of those houses in real life. If I had, I’d be tempted to kidnap it – or marry the owner.
please can you marry me <3
Maybe. Do you have an awesome house on wheels?
Das wird mir helfen. Habe aber auch lange danach gesucht.
