FROM THE EDITOR
The Unexpected Delights of "No Address" Living
I’m spending this month in Ireland, living in a small seaside cottage called The Thatch. No address, just a zip code. But any local knows where to find it. (IL Executive Editor Jen Stevens pays a visit below:)
It came supplied with one glass, one towel, a rusty pair of kitchen scissors. I duck under stairs and keep company with spiders. The TV gets two channels (both in Gaelic).
Yet The Thatch lies along Ireland’s southeastern Copper Coast, a sweep of unspoiled beaches and coves running from Tramore to Dungarvan. The area is rich in forlorn mineshafts, crumbling castles, Celtic graveyards, and clifftop sea views to make you weep.
Though I travel often, I’ve been based of late in glamorous southeast Florida—a stone’s throw from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago and a land of want. Here at The Thatch, my thoughts turn often to the things I need.
Turns out, it isn’t much. And that’s something IL readers fundamentally understand. We live in such a frenetic, combative state in America… It’s been incredible to step away, slow down, chat with the neighbors about the weather (Ireland’s favorite topic).
Expats regularly report living abroad feels like going back in time. And there’s a strong element of that here. In so many ways, a no-address existence can simplify your life… reconnect you with yourself and others… and remind you of what’s important.
That’s borne out in this issue in Sean Keenan’s gorgeous exposé on what it’s like to live year-round on Rhodes and Corfu, a “soft-lit theme park of colonial Europe.” Ted Baumann explains Greece’s new visa program… and how it’s easier than ever to make this fantasyland your home.
Plus global real estate expert Ronan McMahon has crafted a way to live anywhere in the world—for free. He shares his secret—one that can jumpstart your own “no-address” life…
