In some ways it often sounds like you are "living the dream" after many years of hard work and financial investments that have paid off. Who wouldn't want to be able to fly to any of those places, drop in for few days, with nothing much to worry about or figure out, right?

But I wonder -- as you alluded to a bit at the end -- do you ever feel like with being split between so many places that none of them are your home base? Do you ever feel like you're missing out on building community long term, vs having friends and communities so spread out that you're not in town when interesting things happen? Or you go too long between visits to really keep those connections alive?

I hope that makes sense. I can see the opposite viewpoint, where with so many homes around the world you have access to culture and opportunities that you wouldn't if you lived in just one place. But I wonder what you think the downsides of this are for you?

I ask because I used to travel a lot, and move around a lot, but now I really appreciate living in one place and focusing on building my life around that -- planting a garden, renovating my house, and doing things where the payoff isn't days or months, but years or decades.
