questions from the bottom of the barrel

[brainsex]

i’m quite new to all of this, so i have some questions. any answers/help is appreciated!

i just got home from rehab and when i find a stable place, i’m looking into travel, but i don’t know if it’s a sustainable option. is nomadic living/squatting a lifestyle that can be maintained for a long time, or do you eventually have to settle in one place? what’s the most liberating part/biggest benefit of this type of living? what’s a common mistake most people make when starting off? again, any help is appreciated.

I'm 19 days into traveling by foot and I wish I would have just saved for a car

I will say though people are very generous to me and I have a full belly

You can go where ever you want and there are ALOT of beautiful views
ALOT of the people I see don't wanna walk and if you don't have a vehicle your gonna have to walk
i just got home from rehab and when i find a stable place, i’m looking into travel
If it's opioids your struggling with they have a shot now that for a month gets rid of all drug cravings also you can do ibogaine if you have ALOT of money

but i don’t know if it’s a sustainable option. is nomadic living/squatting a lifestyle that can be maintained for a long time, or do you eventually have to settle in one place?

You can travel indefinitely some of the veteran travelers I meet have been doing it for years but they all have cars its possible without a car you just have to get use to walking and loitering

I would advise you to save up for a vehicle and stash away some money

if you're trying to stay sober, you're MUCH better staying away from hitchhiking, train hopping, and other semi-homeless lifestyles. you WILL be exposed to temptations. maybe taking some time to save up for a van and traveling that way might be a better option, but you'll have to give us more details.
