I was five days into a seven-day voyage on the French Polynesia-based Paul Gauguin when the wild thoughts began.
Do I really have to go back? Couldn't I just stay here forever?
Lounging by the pool on the 330-passenger Paul Gauguin Cruises vessel as it sailed between Bora Bora and Moorea, two of the most stunning islands you'll ever see, I started doing the mental math. What if I sold my home back in North Carolina? What if I cashed out my IRA? Could I afford to stay on board cruising these islands in perpetuity?
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
