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.
That’s great and all but please take a few step to the left, you are blocking the sunlight
Oh, sorry Diogenes!
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?
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.
Only rich people say stupid shit like this.
Only stupid, rich people say stupid stuff like this.
Edit: added comma.
I’m convinced that people with excessive levels of wealth have fewer brain synapses than the rest of us living real lives of constant work & negotiating & constantly coming up with creative survival strategies.
have you tried just asking your parents for spare money??
I’m 50 years old and my parents are dead.
did they not leave a few companies in their will to take over after they pass???
Mind your own business.
Isn’t that like a given??
How rich is stupid rich?
I would say, someone who doesn’t look at the cost of flight/hotel/etc. and just does on a whim.

Go out your front door.

Keep walking.

Joy.
Isn’t this the plot of LotR?
And the Hobbit
I think it depends which character you are.

Have the courage to pay in other ways.
With beans?
We’re poor, not stupid. Beans are far too valuable.
Yeah I traded a whole cow for three beans!
Why not both
Gas, grass, or ass. Nobody rides for free.
NOT MY MR.BEAN COLLECTION!?
My wife got rid of my Mr. Bean VHS collection
That is a tragedy.
A nomadic life can be cheaper than a sedentary one.
What do you do, exactly, to earn money for food/clothes in that lifestyle? That has always puzzled me
Whatever you want to do. Go spend a season helping out ona farm in Hawaii, then go help build an ecovillage in Australia, then spend some time walking around New Zealand washing dishes and bussing tables, then off to India where you’ll build rope bridges and tree houses for a sustainable community. After that, you can go to Thailand or Vietnam and teach English for a little while, before making your way into the Mediterranean and spending a year and a half on the island of Bozcaada helping an old man repair out building and herd goats.
That’s literally what my friend did for over 5 years after one day he just decided to leave and had just enough money for a plane ticket to Hawaii from San Diego. Everything else was work and accommodations he found along the way. The only reason he came back was because of covid, and now he’s an RN and makes a bunch of money and he hates his life and is in and out of rehab.
Try doing that with a passport and the typical access to Education from, say Burkina Faso.
Eto wi’de noon e ɗemngal laawɗungal leydi Burkinaa.
But since the rest of the thread is in English, I hope you’ll forgive me for thinking of this in the context of predominantly English-speaking countries.
Well, the reason why I also included “typical access to Education” is that for those from countries whose main language isn’t the most often spoken second language in the World, the most common way to learn it is at school.
Moving the goalposts. We can assume from context that they are speaking to an audience from developed nations.
This all started with:
A nomadic life can be cheaper than a sedentary one.
To which the previous poster added an example.
I’m pointing out that there are many other common contexts were things don’t at all work like that.
By that “logic” of yours whenever a Western newspaper publishes a story about something that happened elsewhere in the World, it’s “goalpost moving”.
I think you’re confusing your own “I don’t give a shit about people not like me” mindset with the mindset of the entire audience here.
I cant get people to pay me enough to live here, how can i rely on charity/people willing to pay me elsewhere? Literally i have no issue working, I just want to make enough money to survive
Literally just apply to teach English in Asia. Typically the wage is a solid middle class income, and you don’t need to know anything about teaching or English.
You can also look into WWOOFing if you want to explore that.
The general issue with this is the amount of people who can do this, is literally one in a million basically. And I mean that in that if too many people tried to do it. It would quickly become unfeesable due to lack of opportunities. Not will or skill or even money
This is a great example of the expection to the rule.
Yeah, I have a friend. She emancipated herself from her family at 16 and got her GED. Worked nannying and waitresssing jobs when she needed money, but otherwise spent about 5 years traveling the world.
A lot have taken up being digital nomads. Not a bad way to make a living off you can get good Internet access somehow.
And fit into a little RV.
It’s pretty easy to find it within a half days journey in most of the world now, most towns and cities will have public WiFi in some form.
I wish I could live like that, but medication and executive dysfunction makes it impossible. Hopefully in the future.
The internet is in the very air that we breath
breathe*
breath is “taking a breath” or “out of breath”, ends without an e sound (obviously).
Thank you!
Technically you can travel all your remaining life without money.
Poor sod seems to lack the courage to sneak into a cargo hold
"SIR YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE POINTS TO FLY ON BRAVE AIRLINES, you must go to delta. "
Does Brave Airlines mine Courage Coins without your consent?
Ya goddamn right it does.
GODDAMMIT I just opened this card for the promotional courage points!
Just board the plane without paying.
Travel is great if that’s your thing. But I’ve always despised privileged entitled douchebags who use travel as a big flex, and a metric to judge others with.
Lebron must be the bravest person on Earth.
I wonder if traveling the seas is why he flops so much?
Can I pay with mental illnesses?
I’m not out of those, but would gladly transfer them to a financial institution.They have enough already.
Mental illness CAN get you a plane, if you’re fast and skilled enough.
If you violate enough mobility laws you can get anywhere for free!
or you can’t travel because of martial law
You can still travel, you just won’t get far and might die. Courage!
well, it’s a bit more complicated than that but yeah
I guess they meant you can travel locally or don’t be afraid of going into debt? But that would still mean it’s a matter of money
