I did it for 15 months. I had a consistent gig that would pay the bills that I expected to be working on 4 hours a week so I decided on the following:
- Move to each city for 1 month (allow immersion in culture)
- The place needs to have privacy & wi-fi (no shared hostels)
- Use meet-up/expats/dances to meet people
- Research each city before hand on things to do/currency/language barriers/transportation (Austria, for instance, doesn't use Google maps)
It was one of the best times of my life, but it wasn't just pure happiness. It was very introspective, most of my time was spent alone, but I made so many life-long friends as well.
Loneliness/homesick is definitely a factor.
