Hey yall
My name's Mikey. I'd like to first say, though I'm not a nomad of any kind myself, I'm really interested in the lifestyle, and i respect the hell out of people who've chosen to live against the grain. I admire the courage it takes to try a life besides that which society lays out as "normal."
Long story short, I'm in college for photojournalism and digital media production and, frankly, it SUUUUCKS. I'm at the point where truly it's doing nothing to expand my mind or my technical abilities. It only further stagnates me and suffocates my creativity. It feels like a waste of time when I could be living life out on the road. I'm close to graduating, so once I do, I'm considering undertaking my own trip around the US.
I want to get out in the world and tell stories about humans being humans.
So getting to the point of this post: I'd love to simply talk to any of you who'd like to talk about your experiences traveling, your philosophies, your lifestyles and why you've chosen them. In the name of transparency, I'll say my end goal would be to make a documentary and/or photobook about one or a few people traveling around the country, but for now I just wanna get to know the people that make up the StP community.
If any of that sounds interesting to you, lemme know. I know I'm a bit of an outsider on here, and I may not be in the know with the traveller community, but I really wanna learn about and explore alternative lifestyles.
Above all, I'm just damn curious about how yall pull off a lifestyle that for so long seemed like a pipe dream to me.
So again, if you're down to indulge my curiosity, lemme know in this thread
