You live where?! When home is a plane or a cruise ship

About this episode

The episode explores unconventional living arrangements through the stories of individuals who have chosen to live in a plane and on cruise ships.

What kind of person looks at a Boeing 727 and thinks, yes, I should live there? Or boards a cruise ship and decides never to go back to a traditional home?  Bruce Campbell is a 76-year-old engineer and pilot who has spent more than 25 years living in a retired jetliner in the Oregon woods.  Angelyn and Richard Burk are a married couple who turned loss, an enthusiasm for minimalism, and a love of travel into an everyday existence at sea.  They share wisdom about home, routine, freedom, minimalism, and staying put.   Suggested episodes: Audacious at sea: Wisdom from strangers on a cruise ship   GUESTS:  Bruce Campbell : 76-year-old engineer who has lived in a retired Boeing 727 in the woods of Hillsboro, Oregon, since 1999.
