Unfortunately, a traditional job with 2-4 weeks of vacation a year doesn't allow for the type of extensive travel I'm hoping to do. Equally unfortunate is the fact that I don't have the money to simply take off and go see the world. So, what I'm hoping to do is leverage my fairly useful skill set (as a developer) to make this happen. I would honestly be happy working short contracts for room/board (and maybe enough to make a student loan payment every month) if it gave me the ability to see the world.

Here are my questions:\n- Has anyone had experience with this type of arrangement?\n- Would any of you bring somebody in under this type of arrangements?\n- Is anyone else interested in this type of work/travel?

If so, I would seriously consider attempting to build a network for interested workers and employers.

Advice/Suggestions are much appreciated.","time":1311719726,"title":"Ask HN: A different way to travel?","type":"story","url":""}],[2772207,{"by":"mburney","descendants":70,"id":2772207,"kids":[2772266,2772412,2772255,2772400,2772307,2772303,2772243,2772343,2772282,2772326,2772294,2772618,2772293,2772379,2772355,2772306,2773119,2772380,2772601,2772432,2772228,2772399,2772477,2772422,2772252,2772714,2772309,2772323,2772327,2772245,2772464,2772384,2772274,2772396,2772264,2772263,2772356,2776478,2779391,2772442,2772438,2806600,2772268,2772271,2772311,2772289,2772353,2772227,2772262,2772855,2772298,2772238,2772459,2772256,2772439,2772376],"score":58,"text":"Hey HNers,

I realized that I've been working too hard on my startup, so I decided to force myself to take weekends off.

I've found it to be a lot harder than I expected. Since I've lost touch with most of my friends and I am single, sometimes I'm at a loss what to do when I'm not working.

I'm 28, and not too excited these days about drinking or partying throughout the weekend. I have a side-hobby (jiu jitsu) but I usually do it on the weekdays just before I get started on my work.

I find myself wanting to read a book on compilers, or think about marketing or something startup-related, but I force myself not to do those things, since it seems too work/tech related.

So I'm wondering, what do you guys do on your time off? How do you achieve that work-life balance?","time":1310863828,"title":"Ask HN: What do you do on the weekends?","type":"story"}],[2707041,{"by":"rockarage","descendants":4,"id":2707041,"kids":[2707729,2707108,2707158],"score":10,"text":"","time":1309291314,"title":"Ask HN: What are some open source Python Projects I can learn from?","type":"story","url":""}],[2622862,{"by":"niico","descendants":17,"id":2622862,"kids":[2626346,2623278,2622889,2627961,2623199,2624872],"score":14,"text":"Hey guys
