[the_third_wave]

In the middle of nowhere I'd not buy a ready-made home but a plot of land - which I assume still to be affordable - and build my own house there. I've been to the Yukon - paddled the whole thing from Whitehorse to the Bering strait in a canoe in 2001 - and actually planned to do something like that. I ended up moving to Sweden instead and more or less count my blessings now that Canada has managed to lose a lot of its appeal in the decades between then and now.
