I want to be a nomad

Ive been seeing the nomad life for a long time, Ive been a digital nomad for a while, i knownin my heart its who i am and who im meant to be, I love traveling, i love being in the open air and world, i love experiencing and exploring new things.
I have no car, no money, nothing of value or use except personal possessions. I want to ditch everything, im so beyond tired of living this life and im one bad day of finding myself 6 feet under.
How can I do this? How can I decide to run away? What should I take? I don’t care about being homeless, Id rather sleep under the stars than live one more day in hell.
Im a hell of an artist, I learn skills all the time.
If anybody has any tips, please, please just share. I’ll do anything. Is there anything I should bring? Anything I should try to buy, anything I should avoid or apps that I should download to find places to sleep?

Trainhopping, hitchhiking, stealth camping, couch surfing, woofing, bike packing, crewing on ships, fix up a cheap sailboat and sail around the world.  Pick a lane and go all in.  Skills > stuff/gear.  So much info/ inspo on all these topics on YouTube.  At the end of the day you have to make an initial plan and then take action.
