>Was it worth it?
100%
did DN for a full year and now ~3-6months / year

>Is 1 year too long?
I think yes
you lose a lot of connections at home (if you have any) if you stay away for too long

>I will probably spend $3k a month minimum
with flights and travel stuff included, I average something like ~4-5k€/month
$3k seems more on the lower side, but definitely doable if you avoid expensive cities / countries

>versus like $1k in my parents' basement.
>That's a difference of $24k over a year
and what would you spend this money on otherwise?
as long as you still save some money and don't go into debt it's fine

once I gave up on ever owning a house, it lives quite easily
I just thrown 1500€/month into an ETF for retirement and spend the rest on traveling

>means my whole schedule will be off compared to local time
if you don't travel with other people that's not a big problem
your main travel time is during weekend anyways

>This is one of those "ask for forgiveness, not permission" type deals
frame it as workation and just don't tell how long you're away
oc depends on your local laws, but they're allowed in most EU countries
the home VPN is still necessary though
