I'm pretty sure he does not rely solely on "hand-outs" from locals. The guy says he spends as little as he can. I mean, he obviously has an apartment judging by the photo, but what's wrong with cutting corners wherever one is comfortable.

Don't crap on someone's fun time because you have the time now that you're retired or earned your living, etc.
