Would you consider living in a houseboat? I thought about it once, and it seems really fun because you can travel and never have your home too far away. My only concern is how I'm going to get food.

My bf and I were talking about this the other day and it would be pretty cool, but I'd worry that I'd get bored, because it would be a pretty small place to live in. I'm sure it would save a lot of money though. So, Hirami, do you think you may do this instead of living in your car? I think you may have more fun with it. You can also drive around the ocean and explore more. It would be fun.

That does sound fun, but I'm not sure if that's less dangerous since I would have to worry about storms and rough ocean waters. I'm still thinking, but I wonder how much I would spend on fuel.

There are places near the beach that you can dock your boat and pay monthly. I'm not sure how much it would be, but it's a cool idea, because then you could save on fuel if you didn't wanna go anywhere for a while.

This sounds like a great thing to try, but not long-term. I would not want to have to worry about operating the boat, navigation, maintenance, etc. Navigation especially - I am lost all the time, LOL.

Hahaha. I would get lost too. I'd be floating out in the middle of nowhere. People would find me months later hahaha

Navigation is the best part!...or so I would assume. How could anyone not want to navigate their houseboat? It would make me feel like an adventurer in the modern world.

I know that fish is probably the most logical option for getting food, but I'm not sure that I would want to remove the scales from a fish myself. I wouldn't mind catching it, though.

Ya, I'm not sure if I could do that either.. that would be upsetting for me, because I really like animals
