I kind of did, but the travelling was somewhat hindered by covid. I ended up playing games and doing fun side projects for a lot of the time instead.
The most stressful part was the feeling of lost opportunity cost. Even though my living costs were low, I previously earned around $250k/year, and so for each month I travelled it felt like I was really spending $15k or so (after taxes). It took probably 6 months to fully get over this feeling. I unfortunately didn't anticipate it and it made the start of my mini retirement much more stressful than I thought it would be, and I had 5+ years of living costs saved up.
Would be interested in knowing if anyone else experienced this, and how you dealt with it.
