that still rules out the globehopping, couchsurfing lifestyle.
Not necessarily. I’d be fine with it if my girlfriend decided to hitchhike around Europe for a month or two, and I’m pretty sure she’d be fine with me doing the same. There’s no reason the one with the job couldn’t take a vacation in the middle, too.
If the unemployed partner did this twice a year, for 2 months at a time, that’d be 1⁄3 of their time spent globetrotting. If they did this 3x a year, (2 months home, then 2 months exploring, then 2 months home again) that’d be pushing it, but might be stable long term if they could find ways to make sure the working party didn’t feel used or left out.
