He’s not wrong. It’ll be a really shitty journey as it’s just voluntary homelessness, but you can choose to live as a hobo if you’re brave enough. And if you’re brave enough you can cross borders without permission. Not a good idea at all, lots of walking, hunger, sleeping outside, and hiding from authorities, but hey, you can.
Hobo sort of implies a migrant worker. Tramp is someone that travels about, but isn’t interested in working. Both used to be associated with freighthopping trains. Do people stowaway on trains anymore?

That’s great and all but please take a few step to the left, you are blocking the sunlight
Oh, sorry Diogenes!

I have to assume some people still hop trains. At the very least some crust punk squatter types probably do
Hitchhiking and couch surfing is a thing.
That’s just being homeless…
Not if you’re doing it while traveling.
I don’t think that is “travel” in the spirit of the discussion.
