Remember this:

Ramen Profitable == Beach Profitable

If your service can bring in $500/month, you can pretty much coast indefinitely in a place like Thailand, assuming you completely shut down your life back home. $1000 profit/month will get you to the point where you can travel from place to place. Double that again and you'll actually build your savings while dirtbagging around the world.

I am practically there already but I have a few things to sort out at home first, so may have to go an extra mile.

My ultimate goal would be to buy a cheapish yacht (they're cheaper than most people think) and sail around the world, like this guy: www.bigoceans.com - once you've got the yacht its not that expensive, I think that would be the ultimate freedom for me, and you can visit places that the average tourist can't get to!

Saying that, any kind of travel is good. I see you live by your word!

You are under estimating the value of high speed internet and time-zone. Travel "vertically" across the map and travel to places with something better than 5mbps and you should be fine.
