'I'm a Snowbird Who Earns Thousands by Renting Out My Home in Alaska-While I Bask in the Sun in Asia'
Briefly

Jonathan Montgomery, a British retiree, has developed a snowbird lifestyle to escape harsh Alaskan winters. Living six months in Alaska and six months in warmer climates allows him to maintain residency and benefit financially through the Alaska Permanent Fund. In Bali, he enjoys affordable accommodations and inexpensive wellness activities. This lifestyle has transformed his relationship with winter, turning it from a struggle to an enjoyable season of adventure and relaxation.
"During my working career in Alaska, I never really enjoyed my winters. I just got through them. Now, I totally love my winters."
"I spend exactly six months each year in Alaska - and not one moment longer," Montgomery stresses.
"I view my life purpose as to be where the bad weather is not," Montgomery says.
"Thanks to this arrangement, Montgomery has been able to retain his Alaska residency and collect what he described as 'free money' from the state government."
