Believe it or not, some people actually call these places home!

Most of us live in ordinary places, with four solid walls and a sturdy roof. Maybe you know someone who lives super high up in a skyscraper or in a community where the closest neighbor is a 20-minute walk away. But have you ever heard of someone living in a floating village? Or in a cave? What about on the edge of a big cliff? Believe it or not, some people actually call these places home!

THE CLIFFS OF BONIFACIO

Perched hundreds of feet above crashing waves, the Cliffs of Bonifacio in Corsica, France, redefine living life on the edge — literally! Bonifacio is a beautiful seaside town on top of towering limestone cliffs, offering its visitors and residents amazing views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. These steep cliffs are not just a backdrop, they are the foundation for homes that look like they’re hanging dangerously over the precipice. Adventure is not just outside, it’s right at your doorstep! Bonifacio honestly sounds a bit scary to me, but hats off to anyone brave enough to call it home!

FLOATING VILLAGES

Imagine living in houses that don't just sit by the water but float on it year-round! In these incredible villages of tonle sap, cambodia, houses are built on stilts, and when the water rises during the "wet season" (may–october), they seem to glide on the water's surface. It's like having a front yard that transforms into a massive, watery playground. These floating homes are not just houses; they're a floating community, complete with schools, vegetable gardens, animal barns, restaurants, markets, and even basketball courts built on floating structures! "ma, i'm running out to catch the boat to school!" what a water wonderland!
