Yesterday we cozied up in a 17th Century pub in London and had a fireside chat with some locals. There was a lovely couple from South Wales and a gentleman from Glasgow. The conversation drifted to where it usually does when we meet people in other countries. Where are you from? How long are you here for? That is the sign that the conversation is about to get interesting. We know that our lifestyle is unique. Here are the most frequently asked questions. People are curious about our choices. Maybe you’re curious too?

It was a mere two months ago when we wrote that we were going to chase the sun and 72 degrees year round. Coming off of France in November we were done with cold grey rain. So a universal statement was made: No More Cold Weather! Yet our conversations this past week have challenged that decision. Yes, we’ve loved the weather we’ve had so far this winter. From Florida to Jamaica to Mexico, we’ve been enjoying sun and warm temperatures. We’ve got a great tan. The slippers have remained packed away in our suitcases. So why are we questioning that decision while we’re here in Mexico?

Over thirty years of marriage we’ve had endless conversations about whether we like winter or summer better. For most of our adult lives we lived in Kansas City, where the winters are unbearably cold and the summers are unbearably hot. By the end of July you are longing for snow. And in February you can’t wait to sweat. Now that we are homeless, we can decide exactly what kind of weather we want! So as we planned our 2026 and early 2027 itineraries, it all focused around seeking sun and 60-80 degrees. And note…we left our cold weather clothes behind in Kansas last month, so it better be warm!

Here’s a glimpse into where the road will lead us over the next 16 months.
