Comment on Code on the Road: Laid off? The one thing you absolutely need to do on the first day

Spend more money right when your income is in highest jeopardy? Most of us wish.

I'd suggest just going in the summer while you're still employed and office activity has slowed anyway. My plan, anyway.

The point is that you are free to stay as long as you want and not have to rush it. A few weeks in a new place is rarely enough to get a real feel for it and experience everything that place offers.

Besides you'll probably be spending less traveling in 3rd world countries than you will living in a tech centre in North America or Europe.

You may actually save money by doing this. Depends on currency rates vs the country.

fourhourworkweek.com -> pretty good resources, if you haven't heard of the book already
