I did this back in 2014 with my wife-to-be. We traveled through Ireland, England, France, Spain & India.

In order to stretch our travel funds, we took local transport, stayed in hostels and campsites, and ate street food. Somewhat proud of the fact that we lived + traveled on $30-$90/day for more than a year.

For me, the best part was taking the same buses and trains as the locals. It gives you a glimpse into their everyday routine and also makes it easier to start a conversation.

Coming back and restarting income took a while though. Mainly because of personal preferences on the kind of work... ultimately just ended up doing the same kind of work that I left (frontend development).

Thinking of doing it again this year, but too scared to abandon income yet again. Might just try remote work this time.
