Can you make a living doing workaway?

At risk of being a cringey cliche, I'm sick of the normie life
I just want to drop out and bum around the world
Is this economically feasible?

I've met a guy from Slovenia who used to travel around western Europe from spring to fall each year, planning his tour with the season for vegetables and fruits harvests. He traveled by train with his bike and a small bag.

so he earned enough not to work for the rest of the year?

Make a living? As in for the rest of your living days? LOL no. You can maybe find accommodation/housing and make enough for food.

You will never have enough for a car, but perhaps a "moto", you will never be able to buy property, do not incur medical expenses under any circumstances. You'll never have enough to raise a family.

Do what everybody does when they have those feels: if you're a high school graduate, join the army. If you're a college graduate, join the peace corps.

Pay off student loans then return to normie life and settle down somewhere.

It costs what, 20k/year to keep you alive without depending on others to shelter, feed, transport and medically support you? Imagine you could do that for free....

Well, you can't. The people who bum it are like immigrants, immigrant labor, only you don't have the 8 other people to live with and the rich uncle to bail you out of your E.R. visit expenses. To work part of the year, you need to make double your salary the rest of the year.

If you are sick of being normie, get a second job, or third job, and start socking money away to do something like increase your education so you can make more money per hour of work down the line, or increase your job satisfaction in a job that better inspires your creativity. Use your better savings to invest in a small business or to tide you over until the business plan is very successful, or use your extra income to travel better and more often on the 4 day weekends. Dropping out and deciding to be poor takes a toll on your physical health.

I don't know. I met him three years ago while I was harvesting grapes for wine in the south of France. (mid-september)
You can make around 1000€ in two/three weeks. Work is hard the first three days but then you turn on the automatic mode and it's okay. Hours are 6:00 AM to 17:00 PM, 6 days per week
Vignedressers usually have a place for you to stay and also serve meals but they will of course take a cut on your salary.
All I know is that after his three weeks in vineyards he would go south to harvest apricots then peaches. Before that he did several vegetable harvest in Belgium, Germany and the north of France.

But all these things sound boring as shit
This is the kind of shit I'm trying to avoid

>Can you make a living doing workaway?

Everytime I see these threads people assume they are going to have decent working conditions and made comfy money. Every time people always come back telling them that you are making bare bones, you are quite literally a working servant/wage slave.

Think of a few things before you do it
>what happens if you get sick/injuried
>what happens when you realize you want to get out, do you have enough savings to get back into the real society
>are you okay with working some of the shittiest hours of your life with no guarantee of safety conditions

I hope for you you're an EU citizen or else it will be way more difficult to get hired.

Yeah people really need to understand cost of living is dependent on where you live. Not to mention, adding any medical costs can skyrocket shit.

>inb4 free healthcare
Good luck 20k a year and paying taxes
