Man Goes On Permanent Vacation For Half Of Every Year

Work is tough. Everyone needs to pay the bills, but almost no one really wants to go to work. Apart from the respite of weekends and the occasional vacation time, it’s something that most of us have to do every day for years on end. What if there was another way? It can entail sacrifices, but one man is showing the world that it is indeed possible to minimize work and live the life you want to live.

This is “Benedict”, or “Ultra Romance”.

He won’t disclose his actual name, but he’s a 35-year-old from Connecticut.

Benedict says he finds the concept of going in to work every day “unnatural”.

It’s a concept we can all agree with, right?

Benedict does work—but only for about six months a year.

He likes his job as a fishing guide on a charter boat well enough, but only does it for about half the year. For the other six months, he travels and explores the world.

The price of wanderlust doesn’t have to be high.

When he’s traveling, Benedict lives on about $10 a day, so he lives a very modest and simple life.
