While had a job, home office: Wake up, prepare breakfast, prepare for work (read emails), calisthenics, breakfast, start working. After left job: Flight ticket to Nepal, 6.30am hikes in Himalayas daily, flight to Thailand, activities early morning, flight to Philippines, diving early morning, etc etc My recommendation: think about what makes you happy, keeps excited, develops your skills/knowledge, etc and do it, every day, from early morning. Don't overthink it. Don't copy others. And drink water.

how often would you fly to Nepal? How long was the flight?

  This was my first time; I usually fly to S-America. The flight was ~13 hours with a stopover in Istambul (highly recommended to go to the lounge!).

I don't want to overthink but how can one finance this lifestyle?

  I sublet my apartment; my regular monthly rent with utilities' daily equivalent allows me decent hotels / lodges in S-E-Asia, S-America. Food and services are generally cheaper at these destinations too. I'd say 65-70% of my current travel is "paid by" my regular Western-European lifestyle. On top of that, saving up a couple 100 USDs per month for general "travel" in my monthly budget. After meeting many people on my travels, I realized that this "lifestyle" is less about money, and more about the mindset. I'm not splurging, also not frugal, but some people are. Having an Excel (Libreoffice) spreadsheet helps a lot with planning :-) Edit: I don't have debt, children, neither spend money on luxury items (or, well, items at all, I'm a minimalist).

  In my case I saved up for 8 years then moved to the country as a student (much cheaper rent). Mine was Japan but other countries would be even cheaper to live in. Didn't do anything special to save except not having kids.
