Man works half the year and takes rest off to live on a shoestring and travel the world

Most of us have thought of packing it all in and going travelling around the world after a particularly gruelling week at the office.
But a large glass of wine and a glimpse at the mortgage payments usually convinces even the most downtrodden that it's worth trekking back into work.
Not so for Ultra Romance, a 35-year-old American who rejected the life of an office drone and spends half the year adventuring across the globe on his bike.
Since leaving university 15 years ago, Romance, has never lived for more than six months in one place, and only spends half of the year working, either as a fisherman or a guide.

He's never owned a car, forages for much of his food, and only got a bank account so he could buy and sell bicycle parts on eBay. Romance lives on $10 a day.
Any money he does earn he puts into bags and buries in the ground.
