I Could Live Here By Ellen Barone
When our rented house unexpectedly sold, my husband, Hank, and I set out on a year-long journey through four countries, starting in Mexico. But one year became two, then five, then ten.
Over the next decade, we lived as long-term travelers, staying months at a time, attuning to new surroundings, cultures, languages, and ways of seeing the world.
I never expected to find connection and belonging in impermanence. But our temporary lifestyle opened the door to a deeper truth: home isn’t always a place—it’s a feeling, a relationship, a way of being in the world.
I Could Live Here is an intimate and open-hearted memoir of midlife change, unexpected adventure, and a redefined sense of what it means to belong.
