Imagine a tiny pod-home that could plug into any coastal city or travel on net-zero energy ships to any other coastal city reasonably fast. Nomad utopia. Sea gypsies in JIT caravans. Or like RV living on the oceans with zero sailing skill needed.

I’d like to live in a loop connecting California, WA, Alaska, Korea, Singapore, India. Same tiny home everywhere. Slow drift. Only fly if urgent necessity. Broadband internet everywhere of course. Pod vacations on other routes. All net zero carbon. Solarpunk gypsy life.

The great luxury liners were imagined as a blend of city-at-sea (floating resort) for a few thousand people, and people-movers (water trains) connecting great port cities. Some ferries are closer to your vision, taking a few hundred people and their cars/motorhomes from BLI to AK
