I am about to leave a well paying job to go live in my Campervan and travel around Europe and Morocco. The more work I can do on the side while away means the longer I can stay on the road.

I am quite interested in helping teach or working with voluntary organisations if I can make enough money for Diesel and food.

It is both exciting and scary at the same time.

This is exactly what I've started thinking about doing. I am working at a great place but I'm getting tired of doing boring work for boring clients. I really don't care about how much money I make at my current place because it is making my hobby, my biggest interest and my talent - into something different.. it is now in a new, ugly shape. It has gone from something I could not resist doing, to something I don't even want to think about.

For me, it's draining more energy than it gives. Programming should be fun. I hope your journey goes well. Hopefully I will be on the same track in a couple of months. First I have to save enough cash to feel secure. Happy hunting.

Yeh I am currently in cash saving mode. I also have to pay for my girlfriend who has no savings so it is quite hard. We are planning on leaving in July and will start a blog about it soon.

I am just trying to kickstart my company (I am a contractor) into doing more than just contract work and me and a friend are working on a few small projects/ideas.

Really want to hit the road soon, but its the fear of effectively being 'homeless' and not being able to find such well paid work when/if we return.

Good luck with your plans too, our situation sounds very similar.
