  It’s unclear what countries this poll includes, having minimum paid leave is the law in most of the world. There’s also quite a few careers that involve forced time off.

    In the US you have just enough time off to be sick a couple of times a year. (If you’re lucky)

  If you live at home or are technically homeless it doesn’t really matter. If you can save up a bit and have a charismatic personality you can go far, especially if you’re willing to pick up shitty temporary jobs in places where you go. I had a friend who would do this all the time and periodically return home to work at a reliable job while living with a friend, save up more, then fly off to somewhere for a few months.

    I love camping, I usually do it under bridges and in gutters.

      “Fun” fact, this is actually why my mom has no interest in camping as an adult. Her family was homeless a lot when she was a kid and her mom disguised it as a fun extended camping trip. The kids bought it for the most part, because the family really did camp for fun, and they were used to fishing for dinner and things, but she said as she got older, she realized things like the month long trip in November were because they lost their housing.

        My wife hates camping. She needs electricity, a toilet, wifi, etc.

        I never thought about why until your comment. My wife moved houses every few months as a kid. Maybe 10-15 times total before before college.

    Maybe, though that lifestyle is very unconducive to relationships generally.

      I think my friend would disagree. Like I said, with charisma you can go far and my friend had nothing if not charisma
