How would you like to have a home in the U.S.A., a big motorcoach to travel around in the U.S.A., and a home on the Caribbean Coast of Honduras? This is my vision for a home exchange or dual-location community. For a beginning, all it takes is for a couple, or a couple of single men and women to connect with me and exchange houses for a season. You live in my house in the Northeast of the U.S. (New York/Massachusetts/Connecticut countryside - on a lake). I live in your house in Honduras. You get to ski, ice skate, visit museums, go to concerts, plays, etc. I get to explore the possibility of finding land for a dual-location community (in the U.S. AND Honduras) while spending the winter at your house. The key to having abundance is cooperation and community. For instance, if three people who want to be early retirees ("pensionados") in Honduras get together and sell two of their houses in the U.S., they will still have one house for the three of them in the Northeast, near their grandchildren. They will have enough money to buy the big motorcoach to travel around the U.S. AND, they will have enough money to buy or build a cottage or cottages on the Caribbean Coast of Honduras. Of course, it doesn't have to be JUST retirees. Anyone who can be financially independent in Honduras and the U.S. could be a part of this vision. If they work in Honduras or if they work in the U.S. and can only do it part-time, that's a possibility, too. I would be happy to build, with others, a cottage in a community of about twelve octagon 2-bedroom cottages up on stilts, facing the water, with a large community building behind it. This would have dining room, kitchen, meeting room, video room, music room, library, laundry room, etc. I might rent my cottage out to tourists or part-timers in the summer, while I'm at our place in the Northeast or travelling in the motorcoach. That would probably pay for my trip to the Northeast! Does this idea make sense to you? If you're a vegetarian (or close to it ... I eat fish and fowl occasionally), believe in living a healthy lifestyle (i.e., non-smoker, non-drug user, very light drinker, into yoga, sports, gardening or some form of exercise other than pressing the remote on the TV, have a connection to basic human values, perhaps called spirituality, are fairly easy-going and can laugh at yourself, you're probably a good candidate for "The Golden Health Community."

Let's talk. What's your dream? I also know the very practical nitty-gritty ways of making this happen, and am somewhat of an "expert" on Honduras.

In Joy,
