Nora Dunn, 40, doesn't travel around the world. She lives around the world.
Having sold her financial planning practice and all of her possessions in 2006, Dunn has written several books about financially sustainable travel and blogs about her lifestyle as The Professional Hobo.
INSIDER caught up with Dunn as she was house sitting in Cuenca, Ecuador, with a cat in her lap.

In 2006, Dunn sold nearly everything she owned to follow her dream of living a travel lifestyle.
"In that process of working with other people on their financial plans and ultimately helping them design their own lifestyles of their dreams ... I realized somewhere in there I'd forgotten about my own dreams," she told INSIDER. "And my dream has been, since I was 9 years old, to really travel the world, more than just taking vacations."
In the 10 years since, she has traveled through and lived in over 50 countries.
She's saved over $100,000 in accommodation costs by finding free places to stay and live around the world.
She even wrote a book about it.
