I recently have been thinking of just packing up a bag of necessities and setting out backpacking cross country with only my pack of stuff. Anyone else feel this need of adventure?
I took two weeks off once, and set off from home deciding to always take the next train that was leaving the station, no matter where it was going. At the end of the first day, I ended up in another country, in bleak midwinter, at 9pm with nowhere particular to stay. I managed to persuade a very nice lady at a B&B to let me stay, despite the B&B being closed.
The pattern continued as I criss-crossed countries at random, never knowing where I'd be sleeping that night (often not even knowing what country). Half the people reading this will be horrified as they're the ones who need a plan; the other half will be exhilarated at the thought of what I did.
If you're in that second half, then you do need to get out and have an adventure of your own. Make it personal to you and be spontaneous and you'll have something you'll remember for life.
Bleach baby-I am no where near rich and spoiled. How you get rich and spoiled out of what I wrote tells me what kind of person you are for even assuming that over the internet.
Dappled- I thank you for sharing that with me. I was hoping for more posts like yours. Very inspiring and that sounds like a good plan. Trains are probably a better way to go then hitch hiking rides.

I really think you should try it..
Why don't yo go for a vacation? kinda adventurous..!!
Take Care..
I'm doing something like that right now(I only come home for the weekend) and it's nice, but it can get pretty exhausting too.
Being homeless is not fun in the least. It sucks. I was homeless for 4 months a few years back and there was definitely no fun involved in that. You sir are and idiot
u sound rich and spoilt, good luck sleeping under bridges and getting beaten up and raped
Do it!.......For the rest of your life you will appreciate having a roof over your head...a warm bed...hot shower.....dry clothes....nice cup of coffee.....
I did it when i was younger and actually had some great experiences especially looking up at the stars at night
I've been homeless, slept rough, stayed on friends sofa's, not known where I'd get my next meal from, how I'd wash and shower that day. It's not something to want to experience. But it made me value life and the simple things (a tap, a bed, a hot meal) so much more
you can't "experience" homeless as long as you can leave and go to your parents.
I thought about doing this when I was a rebellious teenager. I thought about doing it as an adult to mediate to God with a clear mind for a long period of time. And now, as a Mother I'm too scared to do much of anything as I don't want to take risks that may harm my children who are very young. Sounds to me like you've been pampered and see homelessness as an adventure and a refresher or something. I don't think anyone who's ever had to want for something would feel this way. I'm pretty poor right now being a stay at home Mom so I do believe you're probably wealthy.
Well not homeless..More like a drifter! =] I feel like doing this as well. x3
I experienced it not fun at all idk wu the he'll you wana experience that..
i watched a documentary that this guy made about how he pretended to be homeless for a month. he even smoked crack and did heroin to make the experience that much more genuine.
well in my country, when you are homeless, you are a drongo who lives in the street, drinking cheap wine and begging for money. when you are a backpacker in my country then you work on the road, sleep in hostels and carry a backpack around with you while you travel. dont backpack in australia though, a lot of them get murdered.
at some point in my life i'm going to just up and leave, like you said. it's probably a lot more excruciating and lonely than one would think, but it's an experience i'd like to have.
