Home Sweet Anywhere

How We Sold Our House, Created a New Life, and Saw the World

By: Lynne Martin

Narrated by: Lynne Martin

An enchanting account of how one couple sold everything to fulfill a dream of living abroad - one country at a time

Reunited in love after 35 years and suffering from a serious case of pre-retirement wanderlust, Lynne and Tim Martin made a life-altering decision: They sold their house and possessions and hit the road to live internationally full-time. Now tethered to nothing but their suitcases, each other, and their next exotic location, they've never looked back. From sky-high pyramids in Mexico to monkeys in Marrakech, this delightful, inspiring memoir is a romantic tale of derring-do for grown-ups and a road map for anyone who dreams of turning the idea of life abroad into a reality.

Critic reviews

"Nearly every page has some crack piece of travel wisdom: the power of civility, patience and flexibility; the difference between knowing the facts about a place and knowing 'those facts in a way that only being on the ground and experiencing them offers a person.'" (Kirkus Reviews)

"Lynne Martin, narrating her own work, takes listeners through the couple's adventures in such locations as Mexico, Argentina, and Turkey, among other far-flung places. Martin's agreeable voice is relaxed and pleasant as she describes some of the obstacles she and her husband have taken in stride as they pursue their new life." (AudioFile)

Wonderful Performance!

Content was engaging and the voice actor was spot on! Amazing and entertaining. Recommended to people who are interested in travel :)

Fun and interesting

Worth the listen. Unique and interesting experiences share so that I learned and was entertained.

I didn't want it to end

Lynne and Tim's stories, sage advice and warmth is delightful. Unlikely to ever meet them in person, this book was like speaking with an old friend. I did not want the book to end. I could listen to their experiences and stories every day.

Wonderfully written

Great adventures and good information mixed in a highly entertaining narrative. Great overall story. I admire the author and am in awe of their love story.

Just not fun

I really wanted to like this book, but I just really don’t…… There are a lot more tedious details than they need to be, and after about the first 15 minutes, I realize that hearing it in the authors voice was definitely not the best choice…
