Has anyone else here traveled around living in a backpack for a while? What about car/van life? What are your experiences and if you're still doing it what are your plans for the next year? I've been doing it for 5 years straight after my Mom passed and I had no ties left to keep me involved with society or my hometown much. Now I'm renting a large property and house, working on my hobbies and profitable skills and saving up cash for when I inevitably dip out back into the world again this spring. I'm getting a backpack set up and possibly a 4runner. I just don't know where I want to go though anymore, I've been all over the US a few times and I hate crossing the continental divide, I'm probably going to stay in the PNW for a while until something interesting draws me east, but I'm also considering biting the cost of a passport to go start traveling in other countries too.
>>2855257Here's a question, if you've been doing it out of necessity for five years, why wouldn't you wanna just settle down finally?
>>2855260I did it out of choice, I had a comfortable job and a small inheritance at the time. I chose to piss it away and go live broke and homeless as a pilgrimage and to escape the life I had prior. I've never been happier in those times traveling as any other time in my life, and the lifestyle fits everything about me like a glove. Living in a house causes me to fester and become depressed.
>>2855267kek so you were just on an extended vacation, your OP post implies that you did something actually interesting.
>>2855269Well I pretty much made it a permanent holiday now, my situation is temporary.
>>2855257Are you the guy that posted moms dildos after she passed?
>>2855272No, but I saw that.
>>2855274Well good luck with whatever you're doing.
