Vampire Nomad In Training
Hello, have been lurking here on and off for a year now. Decided to make an account because I have decided to go hitchhiking in Europe soon, and thought this would be a good resource. I am a relatively young adult just now getting out after being a shut in for several years. I want to understand why people should start traveling around. Apart of me feels like I don't have enough of a legitimate reason to do so. My reasoning being I feel like adult life is becoming more like a cage the further I go into it. Like it's suffocating me with expectations that i don't want, and looking down on me for not wanting them. That's why i want to try dumpsterdiving and tramping and trainhopping. So, I can get away from it as much as I can. Another thing, I just don't know if how I look at that lifestyle at the moment having never experienced it before is realistic. I imagine it's a lot like the time I left my parent's house abruptly. Started couchsurfing and felt a weight lift from my shoulders. I felt free, but also kinda stressed out sometimes because I needed to find food and sometimes people would kick me out abruptly. Had to rely a lot on other people to get by. The minute I started paying rent and working a job I became quite distressed however and I just wanted to escape again. I'm just trying to decide if my feelings should be worked through or if they are valid enough to keep.
