This story about a young lady who lives (for the most part) aboard European trains leads me to wonder if such a thing is possible on Amtrak. A 15 day Amtrak Railpass allowing 8 segments of travel costs $450. Two of those would give 16 segments of travel over a month. That's $900, not bad for a month's rent, even in coach. Of course meals and incidentals are not included.
I've encountered people who have no fixed address, just mail drops, and live aboard cruise ships. They say it's cheaper than living in a retirement center, paying property taxes, etc.
Hmm. Maybe there is a magazine article in this. Not by me, however. At 75 I'm a bit too old to Sit Up All Night in Coach for very long.
