I’m one of those who work 5 days a week to earn a living. We have our vacation days to enjoy whatever we want to do in life, but we still need to go back to work because people like me will struggle in life if we lose our job.

So I’m curious how some people like the guy in the video can travel around the world for almost a year without working. There are also other vloggers out there who left home to go on a travel and they are still young. Do they already have savings enough to support until they retire?

    I’ve been doing side jobs since I was 13. I never spent any of my own money while living with my parents. After finishing school, worked for some years and then traveled for a few years. While traveling, I also worked (for free food/accommodation mostly). You really don’t have to be rich, just be frugal.

      how’s your savings? do you also have pension or some kind of investment that will support you once you’ve retired?

        No, none of that. I don’t think I’ll ever own a home or retire so when I save up a little, I’d rather spend it on traveling.
