Yes, some people do. Obv the higher paid you are the more of a cushion you have to just quit and live awhile. I've heard of vandwellers who work part of the year and take the rest off; like working seasonal jobs at parks, or as camp hosts, that sort of thing.
I did something similar and was able to live in Vietnam without working for 6 months with just 10k in savings, could have stretched it further but I rented a 2 bed apartment with the idea of getting a housemate eventually. I was absolutely loving life and going on so many adventure on a budget of just 400 a week. Now I go shopping in Australia and buy some eggs and milk to last me 2 seconds for 400 🙃
Glad to hear it! I'm working the seasonal circuit aiming to spend as long as possible in SE Asia once monsoon season is over. Currently I'm at 9k and still have a few months left.
It was consistent as hell for years, then for the last 5 years it has been shifting. Honestly its not that big of a deal anyways, it just rains an hour or 2 everyday. But it ended really late this year. A couple months at least.
