I can't imagine essentially "moving" to a new place 3 times a year.

I have pets and would need to take at least 3-4 days off to pack and move everything, so unless this dude owns 3 properties, it seems like a massive time expenditure to do this. Not to mention being incredibly stressful (which would make me less productive).

Unless they are a digital nomad with a laptop and a pair of flip-flops.

I make no assumptions about their actual work day. Maybe they are incredibly productive.

What?

    > I can't imagine essentially "moving" to a new place 3 times a year.
You're not moving. You don't need to pack your microwave, sofa and stamp collection and organise 3 trucks to move all your stuff. You pack 1 or 2 suitcases with the things you need for the climate for 4 months (which goes by faster than you think).

    > I have pets
Ok, others don't so I don't see how that's relevant

    > would need to take at least 3-4 days off to pack and move everything
As I said, it's only 1-2 suitcases. You can pack them in a couple hours. If you need an entire day then you do it on a Saturday. Not sure why packing requires extra time off work. You make everything sound so stressful. Do you tend to stress about many normal life things?

    > so unless this dude owns 3 properties
Perhaps they do, but truthfully you don't need to own a place to spend somewhere 4 months. I've been to places for a few months and most rentals have fully fitted kitchens and basic things such as hair dryers, etc.

    > Not to mention being incredibly stressful (which would make me less productive).
Being stressed over nothing sounds like a subjective you problem, not a general problem. People also pack suitcases to go on holiday and going somewhere nice is for most people associated with happy hormones and not stress hormones.

Exactly, they are incredibly productive because nothing was said that would even remotely suggest the opposite.
