Peut-on vivre une vie de rat vagabond en Asie du Sud-Est ?
The speaker addresses a question from Cyril Benet3086 about living a vagabond life in Southeast Asia, specifically mentioning Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, without spending unnecessarily. The speaker identifies with Cyril as a "big rat" who seeks to live happily and frugally, and confirms that Southeast Asia is an ideal destination for such a lifestyle. Having lived this life himself in the past, the speaker expresses nostalgia for his vagabond days, describing it as "the most beautiful life" he has experienced. He notes that he is currently "too rich and too installed," struggling with "temptations of sedentarization," and actively trying to return to a more nomadic existence.
The speaker explains his past vagabond life was sustained by passive income from investments, such as rent from an apartment in France, dividends, and bond coupons, without engaging in online business or work. He contrasts this with his current situation, where he is "falling into this business online" and finding it difficult to disengage. He recounts his extensive travels as a vagabond throughout Southeast Asia, including Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, expressing deep regret that he no longer lives this way, despite finding some interest in his current life.
