Hi all,
I'm Keegan. I'm 16 years old and I've been lurking here for a few months, but tonight I finally decided to create an account. I'm only in grade 11, but for the past while I've been considering a nomadic/hobo lifestyle as I find it very appealing. I would pursue this lifestyle right when I graduate from high school. Now I know it's not a perfect lifestyle, but does a perfect lifestyle really exist? No. I think a nomadic lifestyle is much more appealing than going to university for four years and then slaving away at a monotonous job for the rest of my life.
Anyways, I am really eager to test out this lifestyle to see if I really like it or not (I am guessing I will love it). Sooo, I'm planning to travel after the school year is over -- which is the end of June -- until the beginning of the next school year, which is the beginning of September. I'm not sure how far I will travel, but I will travel as far as I can. However, I'm not going to be going to the US for the time being -- I'll only be travelling in Canada. Although, I would love to go to the US after high school. My main method of travel will be hitchhiking, as hopping trains at my age may not be the smartest thing. Plus, I don't know if I'll meet anyone on the road that can teach me to do so. So yeah, I will be getting around by hitching rides. StP members, if any of you are willing to give me pointers or something, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm really excited to hit the road this summer!!!
Also, if anyone would like to meet up with me on my travels this summer, that would be amazing!!!
Thank you for reading!
