It's possible if your employer is paying for your relocation. In 2004 (IIRC) I went on training teams for clients of ours continuously for about two months (with a brief stop at home in the middle). Not only I accumulated a respectable mileage, I spent about a third of what I usually spend in my home town (São Paulo, Brazil).

I'm 40, married for the second time, with a 14 year-old boy from the first marriage and would not be able to reduce my expenditures to that level, but it's quite doable if you are in your 20's.
