This is actually really excellent reporting. The people and stories in this article are very real, and I bet there are thousands more people just like this and potentially millions who want to be like this. I did the expat thing for 2 years. Sleeping on mountains, on couches, in airports, in cars, everything. It's a lot of fun and really cheap. You feel a lot of freedom. But, it is still hard to get things going "legitmately" in any country, and by that I mean finding a job and getting a visa and, if desired, having an apartment or a family/spouse. I came back to the USA and luckily found what seems to be a more permanent job than sales. I'm making $2,000 a month and splitting expenses with my gf. Ultimately that math works better than being a nomad on $500 a month. But I'm wondering if someday I will give it another shot :)
