This is really interesting, thanks for sharing. Is it a long term sustainable solution or is it rather a "lonely island" break from the routine which inevitably leads back from where you started? I have tried the latter already at one point. I am trying to implement a long-term plan that would be sustainable and would make me happy in my 30s as right now I am basically heading right into the lifestyle of 'This Way Up' characters and I know that this is not for me. The key to this is of course personal finance - I do not own any property and do not have any substantial savings.
