Been thinking about variations of the nomadic lifestyle since I was in middle school and truly its the only thing I can think of that would bring me a sense of purpose beyond the rat race. Society scares the shit outta me and I dont want to continue on the path towards that lifestyle. The issue lies in the fact that I have near no experience beyond a few roadtrips and I dont want to fling myself into a lifestyle like squatting or vanlife and have it end up not working out and then im fucked. Any thoughts? This is basically my only choice besides a 9-5 shit job forever. I wish it was easy to choose.
I agree with what everyone else has replied to you on here. I just wanna respond to what you said in your original post about "having a sense of purpose beyond the rat race".
You sound like a good candidate for alternative travel, but dont be surprised if that sense of purpose dries up a bit and you just feel like youre going from place to place and not really doing shit after a while.
I feel like my sense of purpose is something that is definitely running dry in my life, and i really wanna get out of the migrant lifestyle sometimes, but then i change my mind and keep doing it lol.
I dont regret traveling at all, but its like the more comfortable and better i get with it the harder it is to give up.
I think thats kinda why people find it so hard to give up their jobs and housed up lifestyles too.
If i were you id go for it, and take peoples advice on here, cuz they are living testaments that you probably wont regret it.
Just remember any kind of experience is valuable in life. Even work experience, so dont be too scared to dabble in the 9-5.
Youre gonna want a break from being broke. Its a full time job! Mwa ha ha!
