Three years ago, my husband and I packed up our lives in the suburbs of London and moved aboard a 36-foot sailboat.We'd sailed before and had spent weeks on boats each year for our vacations, but living on one full-time proved to be very different. We ended up living aboard and sailing through Europe for 18 months before my husband received a job on land, and we had to leave.The lifestyle was a dream in many ways, but some aspects were more challenging than we ever could've expected.Instead of feeling free, I felt limited

Living in a small space was much harder than we expected.
