It strikes me as more of a "gap year" type thing than a sustainable way of life. The chap with the empty apartment with nothing on the walls is sustainable, I guess - just strikes me as a bit sad, really. I wonder where they will be in a couple of years?
I think that the other thing that grates, over and above the idea that they're sponging off other people for accommodation, is the impression that they are promoting themselves as being against consumerism, while at the same time having designer clothes and ipads.
