I grew up in Namibia and was never bored. But it depends on what interests you. If you are an outdoors person, then it is the place for you.

My intent was toward anyone who would move there. I have seen the country from Rehoboth, where everyone has the same last name (Mouton) as my Cajun relatives, to Windhoek, Tsumeb, and Combat Mine in the Triangle of Death. I visited the Namib, Etosha and some dinosaur footprints somewhere between Etosha and Windhoek. I missed the Okavango which is one of the few places I have ever wanted to go, but have not made.

I like the country, but unless you farm or hunt or are a photographer, I think you would be quickly board.

You are right. We agree that it is an unspoilt and open country, suitable for those who don't want to live in big cities?

Wow, those are some beautiful places, although Rehoboth can be a bit dusty. Okavango, and that whole eastern bush area is amazing.

There is a bit of industry there, but the economy is pretty small.
