They are doing it wrong, they are acting like they are on vacation, which obviously gets old pretty fast.
The right way to do it is to setup a regular lifestyle in the place of your choosing, rent an apartment, instead of Airbnb and hotels, work from a home office or an actual office instead of Starbucks.
Ideally learn the local language and go where the locals go instead of where the tourists go.
Obviously this can't work if you are moving every other month or so, but that too gets old pretty fast.
This article reads more like a trance traveler of 2 decades ago gone pop.
Kho Pangan, meeting up with like-minded friends from around the world and just partying, basically, but with a 21st century instagram twist.
While one will certainly find plenty of community among well off folk and deliberate dropouts, it is distinctly an enclave community that risks the wrath of locals, were it not for the money such tourists bring.
OTOH, if you move to a party place on a permanent basis, you find another level of connection, and find yourself annoyed with the clueless noobs.
Every generation has such folk, it's just that modern job practices permit those from other economic classes to join, vs the necessity of being independently funded if you just took off to follow Osho back in the 80s or something.
And yes, wanting to be able to climb Machu Picchu without taking time off is both an "economic reason" AND a "material improvement in one's livelihood".
