Once you have ‘enough cash,’ you travel for as long as you can before going broke and getting another job (or go back to your old one). 2) Travel as a part of your job. These would be low-paying jobs like working on a cruise ship, as a tour guide, bartender, adventure sport instructor, or simply getting a regular job in an exotic location. A better option, to be sure, but… How can you travel wherever your heart desires, ‘working’ at...

Swannanoa, The Lost Castle on the Hill
Some people love old houses-- the older and the bigger the better. And if they're historic and palatial--and maybe, haunted--what could be more perfect? One example is Swannanoa, a lost but magnificent mansion on Afton Mountain, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway half-way between Staunton and Charlottesville.
