I agree. There are lots of English teachers living in Asia for example and I certainly would not want to be in their shoes at all.
In fact, if I were a young guy in my early 20s, I'd rather spend that time in the US living with the mom & dad, saving up my money, and work on a start-up that would allow me to live anywhere in the world in the future.
But that's just me.
Yes, the location independent business is definitely the best option. No effort in trying to get that off the ground should be spared. Working at a high paying job you can do part time (e.g. consultant) for 6 months each year, living more modestly than you would normally, and spending the remainder of the year travelling is also an option.
