Living abroad

Yup. He was living in London at the time.

He has the VR46 Academy in full swing in Tavullia now, so spends most of his free time close to home.

When he's not at Ibiza.

that's where i will end up in a few years. best food (and cheap), bike crazy, beautiful (Tuscany and north)not too far to the sea and the alps.
not sure about taxes but.. yeah.. forza italia.

 

Isn't cost of living through the roof in Italy ?

 

Depends on if you actually pay your taxes or not.

 

I find Italy to be very affordable. Beach side hotels near Rimini/Cattollica are $50 a night. Pizzas are $5-$8 throughout the entire country. A glass of wine is $2.

 

Most of Europe (other than Switzerland) is very affordable, if you can get over the idea of owning a glue-and-particleboard McMansion, 3.5 cars, 6 big-screen TVs, and all the other stuff you accumulate when you never leave your air-conditioned house

 

Pre-Sunrise in Cabo this morning. Brutal.

Either you went to bed last night early, or you're still up partying. Don't disappoint me, Jim

 

You living in a tent? Got AC? I need AC, no living without AC, AC is the shit!

 

You get old like me, you only need six or so hours of sleep. I'm a guard dog at the moment.

No A/C, because no walls. We have two efficient units in storage here, but there is pretty much always a refreshing breeze. When the air stagnates, I turn the fan on. The human body is an effective swamp cooler.

Lemme go take a photo or two. I basically live in a treehouse dits can't shit in.

when we were there, nope. guess you have to live like the locals.

 

The off the beaten path tacos and beer are just as good as the tourist restaurant.

Where's the shitter? Do you climb the ladder and shyt Dit's style?

 

Jim....Jim...brah....

 

What you can't see in that photo is the solar, batteries and associated electronics on the upper deck. I've got power. It doesn't suck.

It's a big desert. Where I choose.

(jokes aside, I dig a hole)

You know, after seeing them pics, America ain't that bad.

 

Different strokes, man. I'm happy and content. Cold beer, plenty of water and food. Electricity and Interwebs, an awesome bbq. Zero rent. Zero electric bill. My biggest monthly expenses are food, smokes, agua and cervezas

Edit: and hello. ICE. fundamental. Three thirty pound blocks will last for five days. A whopping three fiddy.

F that. I hope your salary is worth it.
(one of two things can happen: over the months, you keep having to walk further away to shit. Or you take your chances on digging up previous production.)
