I'm sick of conformity and "normal" living. I can't stand working 9-5 I die a little on the inside, I'm totally broke and have no money, huge credit card debt and other payments.
I'm planning on
>Selling everything I own
>Packing only the things I need
>Travelling through europe hitchhiking
>Living on other peoples charity
Since I am european I don't need to worry about a visa. I also have good social skills and am actually good at talking to women. I'm planning on staying with the women I meet and couchsurfing cause I have a good profile there with reviews etc.
What is the worst thing that can happen?
Any tips?
>Packing only the things I need
Do a test run first with what you consider minimal and figure out what you'd miss or what's not actually necessary
>Worst that could happen
You become nearly irreparably homeless and one day you want a normal life or find a woman you want to have kids with, but you can't. Also you're a guy so after the age of 30 or so people will stop giving you the benefit of the doubt and you will no longer receive charity
>Tips
Make money along the way via Workaway, seasonal jobs, touristy companies, maybe online stuff. For someone with very little, a small amount of income goes a huge way.
Thanks

I associate "irreparable homelessness" with mental illness, I meditate everyday and self reflect - I am extremely conscious of my mood and thoughts and let go of any emotions hindering me. If my mentalstate is not a problem, can anything else make me irreparably homeless?
>One day having a normal life
Ye that might be something to consider.

Probably harder to go down the deep end in Europe, but in the US, it's very easy. Especially if you have debt and a bad credit score and can't get housing/a job that checks your credit score. Or a criminal record for whatever reason. Not that it's impossible to get back, but you'll face hurdles for years once you decide to go back. Frick, I'm just doing a gap year, and that locks me out of a huge number of careers - you have to really know what you might want in the future
No money'ing is almost impossible. Even just a few hundred bucks a month is exponentially better. Remember that your clothes are going to wear out at some point, or you'll have to buy some other important thing. A bum-vacation can work, but you're at risk of KWAB'ing yourself hard if you end up destitute in a foreign country. with no ability to afford transportation home or even a roof over your head.
It's not too hard for a sane homeless person to get back on their feet in America. The thing holding them back is overwhelmingly drugs and mental illness.

probably gangrape by a bunch of North African refugees, three quarters of whom have full blown aids

Do the workaway thing, don't go for the first one that looks good, do your research, some want you to work a full time job for nothing more than board and food but plenty offer a good deal.
I didn't need it for money reasons but was just a bored loner travelling across the continent looking for someone to talk to, stayed in some amazing places on the Greek islands and didn't pay a cent, did maybe 10 hrs work a week.
Good chance you'll get bored of it.
I travel around 50% of my time, work a lot 18 months to save money, then frick off for the same amount of time.
After a while I just get lazy, hard to motivate yourself to do the same shit but in a different place. Of course some unique experiences and stuff but they're rare.
Moving around to very different countries help too, after 2-3 months in the same I just want to leave.
>yeah but I'm different
Maybe but you don't sound like you have a good control of yourself. After a while you'll find a way to get lazy, stay in your confort zone and get depressed again.
Good chance also you just really fall in love with one of the women and build something with her, that'd be a good ending.
It's an escapist fantasy. The actual percentage of people that can actually live happily as travel bums is negligible. You will get bored and worn down. Save some cash and go and spend a few months having a good time in relative luxury. Whenever I meet "full time" travellers they are usually depressed blogger idiots or trust fund hippie stoner losers.
move to faroe islands

Why instead of going full blown off-grid you don't take the frugal way.
Like having some balance were you can occasionally travel and also have your comfy home time . Like get a part-time job instead if you are getting work fatigue in the mind , or work by season, like spend 8 months working and take a break . There are several options out there.
For example I also get fatigued from the daily working routine, on winter season I work and stay more at home and when the weather becomes good I dedicate to other stuff I enjoy . My point is try to get a balance.
I like to stay at home but I get tired eventually that is when I go more in adventure , so I use the winter to be more comfy at home while at save time saving money , cutting expenses and working and in the spring and summer I end the annual hibernation and go out all days. What like more is going to the beach , traveling is not much my priority since I can break the boredom of my town and visit other cities and coastal towns .
But it's up to you, some people might handle well that nomadic travel lifestyle, guess it depends on the person .
But remember , being frugal is the way,always try to save money, never spend money away. The less you spend more you accumulate. Does not mean you cannot go eat out with friends occasionally , just don't for example eat out alone and make your own food . Instead of using car all the time use public transports , so many things you can do to save money and you can take like 3 months to travel per year for example.
If you could find a season job it would be great for you, imagine only working 6 months pr year and you have another 6 months free time for the thing you enjoy to do .
Good luck, don't put yourself in sensible situation , always think about security and stability
Get your finances in order first you frickin rodent
No money. No home. Isn't this just bring a homeless guy? A homeless guy who moves around a bit?
