To anyone talking about "buT HeR inHEritAnCe!!!" - seriously, I know at least a dozen good friends who do basically this, but with no inheritance. They just have jobs, work their jobs, and travel. It's great. If you are somewhat intelligent and competent and free of kids or other major responsibilities, you can do it too.

And if you have a hob that allows you to work remotely.

About half of my friends work seasonally, then fuck off for half the year, too. What job you do does tend to matter a lot for if you can make this lifestyle work. But if you want the lifestyle, you make it work - you find a job that, one way or another, gives you the sort of freedom you want.

Just knowing a dozen good friends seems like a lot.

Move into a van and go to the common vanlife spots and you'll make friends. Most of my friends come through the rock climbing community.
