Lots of us dream about the adventurous life of traveling, crossing oceans and experiencing the world. In reality, only few of us can handle the lifestyle of a traveler, so the most we do is backpacking for a month in  South America or taking a cruise ship for a week in Alaska.

Some people manage to have it all, working and traveling, living the adventure. It's especially easy these days, of course if money isn't an issue. 

ResidenSea is a Florida-based company that manages the world’s only mobile and full-time floating luxury community called The World. Think of this as a cruise ship - but on serious steroids. While this project doesn’t claim micronational status it is essentially completely independent of any location. Activities and amenities on board include swimming pools, restaurants, tennis courts, a library, health spa, fitness center and even golf greens. Sure, it sounds a lot like a cruise ship, but it is also a full-time residence (and even tax haven) for many on-board owners.

The price for an average condo is pretty similar to those in Manhattan ( 2.5 to 7.5 million dollars), but the lifestyle is incomparable...

To me it sounds like a great way to retire :)
