That’s a lot of savings or a lot of beggins for like 10 years.
And when you’re back after all that time you still have to survive: either you knew before you were landing safely or what? You send around CV with a ten years gap?

Sure, you can lower the average living on a couple dollars a day in developing nations, but I still find it impossible that someone can travel to every nation on the planet for $20/day and survive.
I’ve travelled on a shoestring across 5 continents.
