Is a multi-machine Vagrant a good choice to simulate a Kubernetes cluster?

I am in front of a book to teaching myself Kubernetes. It has many chapters about handling a Kubernetes cluster, and it urges the reader to create an account on a cloud server, if he can. Else to attempt creating a cluster of few Raspberry Pi. But I don't want or cannot afford these choices. I have my own home computer, that's all. Is it something that prevents me from creating a multi-machine Vagrant to create all computers my book could talk about? I believe this could work... My question is simple and naive. But if there's an obstacle or a big difficulty that I will surely face, I'd like to know it immediately before choosing this wrong way. Thanks!
