There's a big difference between living somewhere and traveling through it - which one do you want to do?

Unless you magically have the right nationality, if you want to stay in a foreign place for any length of time you typically will need a visa, so you will need a local employer to sponsor a work permit. So if you really want to live somewhere else, take a job.

As to finding a telecommute job, it can be hard. If you want to go down that plan (i.e. telecommute in your native country and travel around abroad) I suggest you find that job and work a while in it before you start traveling.

Personally while I like traveling very much, there's nothing like really living in a different country to grow your horizons. I have lived in 4 countries - 5 if you count Scotland :-) - and don't regret any of it. If you have the interest and the opportunity, take it.
