We lived on a 42-foot sailboat for over a year before moving back on land. The lifestyle wasn't as dreamy as it seemed.
Briefly

Living on a 42-foot sailboat for over a year presented significant challenges, particularly in hygiene and routine. Limited water supply made showers infrequent, leading to discomfort and self-consciousness. Daily tasks such as grocery shopping became tiresome as the excitement of nomadic living wore off. Over time, the necessity for routine and stability outweighed the romantic allure of sailing. The experience provided valuable lessons in appreciating simple things, but ultimately led to a transition back to apartment living for practicality and comfort.

Establishing a daily routine became increasingly important as traveling often left me feeling disconnected. The novelty of adventure faded and I longed for familiarity and stability.
