Home Sweet Anywhere: How We Sold Our House, Created a New Life, and Saw the World [Paperback] Martin, Lynne

At 65, Lynne Martin and her husband did what most people only fantasize about: sold everything, bought one-way tickets, and became permanent travelers. No storage unit. No home base. Just two suitcases and a growing list of countries where the cost of living beat their California mortgage. This is the practical, funny, occasionally terrifying memoir of how they pulled it off — finding apartments in Buenos Aires, navigating Turkish markets, learning to pack light and live lighter. Martin doesn't romanticize the expat life; she's honest about the loneliness, the bureaucracy, the days when you just want your own couch. But she also captures the thrill of total reinvention in your sixties. If you've ever Googled "cheapest places to retire abroad" at 2am, this book is either permission or a reality check. Probably both.
