I used to think land travel was better… until I lived on a catamaran
I used to think staying on land was the only “comfortable” way to travel.
Hotels, apartments, room service… everything predictable.
Then I spent time living on a catamaran.
First in the Caribbean, then around Europe — and something just changed.
You wake up with the sea, not an alarm.
Your “view” changes every day.
Coffee tastes different when you’re surrounded by nothing but water.
It’s not always perfect:
- sometimes the wind gets strong
- space is limited
- plans change depending on the weather
But that’s also the beauty of it.
On land, everything feels structured.
On the sea, everything feels… alive.
I didn’t expect to get so used to this kind of freedom, but now it’s hard to go back to “normal” vacations.
Curious if anyone else here has tried living on a boat for more than a few days?
