This man gave up his house to make music and live at sea

No Place Like Home profiles people who swapped the conventionalities of modern living for nomadic, off the grid homes and lifestyles. Each episode looks at some of the most interesting places that people across the country call home — from vans to sailboats!

When composer Richard Samuels moved from Toronto, Canada to San Diego, California nearly 20 years ago, he hadn't been much of a sailer. In fact, he had only been on a boat a couple of times, but he bought a sail boat, a book and learned how to sail. Two years ago, after realizing how much money he was putting into his regular house and loving his time on the water, he decided to live on the boat full-time.

Learn more about his story, including how he lives on a boat and still produces music for film and TV shows, in this episode of No Place Like Home.
