About this audiobook
Ellen Barone and her husband, Hank, are living a comfortable, creative life when they learn their rented house has sold. With no immediate solution, they hatch a plan to live in Mexico for the length of a visitor visa. They then move to Nicaragua. Then Ecuador …
What ensues over the next decade of long-stay travel, as they migrate from one continent to the next across the Americas and Europe, is an uncertain yet fulfilling quest to discover their new home. Is it a long-term place they love, with the familiarity of accumulated belongings? Or is it being nomadic, future unknown but ever adapting and exploring?
I Could Live Here is an intrepid woman's open-hearted chronicle of change and adaptation—and the joys and discoveries that come with seeking one's place in the world and what it means to be home.
