Do you make enough dosh to last you over the winter Dayvo or do you do some other work? I dunno, pimping statuesque German fraus in Thailand, for instance!
I get well paid (for me, and compared to what I used to get); have very low overheads and expenses; live a simple life; and it's considerably cheaper to travel around Asia for a few months in the winter (and certainly a lot more fun) than freezing, suffering with SAD, and having a crappy job for 3-4 months in Scandinavia, just to survive until the early spring.
This year, my girlfriend is accompanying me to Asia!
I'd certainly do other work if it was attractive; such as baking bread in a French ski resort, for example, or working as a bike mechanic (once I do the C&G course) in a Mediterranean country.
