I had many people in the USA ask me how I did it. I would always ask them back how much their car was worth and then do a calculation of how long on the road that would last me. It was invariably years rather than months. They never believed me.
I was fortunate yes: I won the lottery. Or, as we call it in London, the housing market.
But it is not necessary to do a huge trip with loads of money.
Having been on the road for a lonhg long time, I think a three to six month is just about right. Property rental contracts in the UK are often six months so it is not that hard to cover your major outgoing.
It is perfectly possible for people in the UK who are in work to save enough for a trip to India. Maybe two years of saving, but not penury.
Maybe easy for me say...
