I guess the first order of business is what to call myself, or how to refer to myself once I retire. Calling myself Homeless, while correct is probably insulting to those unfortunate people that are not homeless by choice. A Hobo is usually considered a migrant worker, wandering around looking for a job. I don't plan to work. A Tramp works only when forced to, which could be me, but I don't plan on being forced to work. A Bum fits the not working at all part, but it suggests being poor and lazy, I am not poor. Well, not yet anyway. A Pensioner does not do my travels justice. A Wanderer conjures up that song "The Wanderer", then I can't get it out of my head.
Lets try out Vagabond:
noun: vagabond: a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.
adjective: having no settled home.
verb: wander about as or like a vagabond.
Well, that works. It doesn't hurt that a friend of mine runs the website VagabondJourney.com and that I have started, but not yet finished the book A Vagabond Journey Around the World (1910) by Franck.
OK. It's settled, I will refer to myself as a Vagabond, until such time as I don't.
