I Could Live Here

A beautiful and moving travel memoir about life upended, new beginnings, and a redefined meaning of home.

Ellen Barone and her husband, Hank, are living a comfortable, creative life when they learn their rented house has sold. With no immediate solution, they hatch a plan to live in Mexico for the length of a visitor visa. They then move to Nicaragua. Then Ecuador …

What ensues over the next decade of long-stay travel, as they migrate from one continent to the next across the Americas and Europe, is an uncertain and fulfilling quest to discover their new home. Is it a long-term place they love, with the familiarity of accumulated belongings? Or is it being nomadic, future unknown but ever adapting and exploring?

I Could Live Here is an intrepid woman's open-hearted chronicle of change and adaptation—and joys and discoveries—that come with seeking one's place in the world and what it means to be home.
