I’m just not sure how to square that quote with this from the about page: > I reside in Las Vegas but also spend a lot of time in Hawaii, Budapest, and elsewhe

  I saw that too but took it to mean that he lives lean even when times are good by traveling as minimalistic as possible (cheapest flights, hotels, gear), and has set his life up in a way that he could survive even if he has very little to no money.

  Tynan here. I've bought small apartments with groups of friends in Hilo, Budapest, Tokyo, and bought a small island in Canada. My share of all four of those cost under $50k. So most of the time when I travel I go to places I have my own place. I don't do a ton of touristy stuff, because I've been to all these places dozens of times, but instead more or less live a life like a local there, which doesn't cost more than my life in Vegas. I still have to buy flights, but there are a lot of well known methods (points, etc) to get really cheap flights. Even back when I really had no money, a buddy and I just rented cheap apartments around the world for a year and gave up our places at home. It cost very little.
