I want to get a houseboat. It is a boat designed to be used as a home.
That's a very cool concept.  Can they actually be used as boats though? 
Some are not motorized and stationary. Others can actually move locations.
Wow, that's really interesting. Where are houseboats most popular? Is it in a specific region, or is it just a widespread thing?
They are popular in Western locations such as Amsterdam, London, and Paris.
Interesting, do you think people do it to save money? I can imagine living in those big cities can be quite expensive. 
Well they are privately owned or rented out to holiday-goers. They usually are cheaper than owning a land-based home.
I can imagine that tourists would be interested in stay in a boat while on vacation. That would be a fun experience! What else can you tell me about houseboats?
There is a houseboat fishing community on the Hong Kong Island known as Aberdeen floating village.
Cool! Where else are there houseboat communities?
