"...“I wanted to travel more — I didn’t want to have to ask for time off and grovel for extra days, you know?” says Solomon, now 25 and living in a rental house in Kauai, Hawaii, overlooking the beach.

Over the past 10 months, she’s scaled volcanoes in Guatemala, soaked up the waterfalls of Bali, Indonesia, and basked on glorious beaches halfway around the world. She gets by doing freelance p.r. work on the road, so long as she can get decent Wi-Fi in paradise..."

Didn't want to ask for time off and grovel for extra days. Hmm. Well, if you can get work that lets you avoid that...good on you.

But most of the time, you have to coordinate with someone else.

Did she make that much as a "20-something publicist" to be able to buy airplane tickets to Guatemala and Bali, which aren't cheap, and all that goes with it? She may have. But it sure does sound like she has a sugar daddy.

She may be able to afford those things on her salary. Healthcare, retirement, savings, investments. No way can she fund exotic travel working part time and paying rent on Kauai. The cheapest apartment is $1550 a month, and your food cost are the highest in the country.
