I'm about to do exactly this on meagre savings from my software developer job. Last day of work is 1st of July. Let's see how that works out for me :)

Same here. I'll be joining ya! Last day June 30th :)

Hi fellow soon-to-be-homeless person! Any idea where you'll go first?

Ha! I'm heading over to northern Spain where wine flows like water and everything is super cheap. :) I'll be there for a little over a month slowly making my way to west coast to enjoy the ocean. Then... I don't know. Maybe head north to nordic countries or fulfill a life-long dream of exploring Tasmania (if i can get there on the cheap). I don't plan to "travel the world." Just backpack for a few months to reset. I do this once every several years. How about you? Where are you headed?

It's a first for me. I'll probably start out in Las Palmas and then go east as I feel more adventurous (China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam). Should be a blast!

Ah the Canaries! Met a lot of folks from there when i was on my last adventure a few years ago. What an awesome start, man! If you're going to be in Spain in July/August hit me up. My email's in the profile. Good luck and enjoy it man!

Good luck man! Where are you headed?

I haven't actually booked anywhere yet as I'm largely going to wing it. It's likely that my first stop will be Las Palmas (https://nomadlist.com/las-palmas-gran-canaria-spain/scores). It's not too culturally different to where I live now, so it should be a more gentle introduction to the nomadic lifestyle, but the cost of living is also relatively cheap.

No shit, I'm doing the exact same thing at almost the exact same time. I've got a few months savings in the bank, and I'm heading off to Las Palmas... stopping along the way in Europe. See you there!
