This world kind of exists already. A lot of people move to Southeast Asia (for cheap and comfortable living) and there travel between countries while making money remotely.

Then why do we need UBI?

I work remotely. I moved someplace cheap within the US. I am still struggling for various reasons, but I currently live like you describe.

So if it can be done without UBI, why do we need UBI?

Either we need UBI because you can't get paid work and you need to live off UBI, or you can get paid work, in which case we don't need UBI. Please pick one

You bring a strong point in that I'm not ready to challenge right now :)
