Happy belated Independence Day, readers! We hope you had a safe and happy weekend. No doubt, for many of you this included being out on the water. What would you think of living there…permanently?

MSN Real Estate hasĀ an interestingĀ slideshow about these floating homes. From the Arctic to India, houseboats are everywhere, which is not surprising considering that most of the world’s surface is water. And they can be extremely green homes.

For an in-depth look about what it is actually like to live on a houseboat, please take a look at this slideshow — lot of work, but also a lot of beauty.

Happy boating!
