Remember the Silver Pearl houseboat on Airbnb that Alex showed off last week? Genevieve and her husband own that boat, but also live off-grid in their very own floating home called the “Island Gypsy.” Before they invested in a vacation property, they moved into the Island Gypsy — she felt like were “cheating” being hooked [...]
