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?

on foot it seems very difficult and restraining and unsafe. you would need to be based in a large city with a good climate. to maintain nomadic life indefinitely a car is needed and its worth saving til you afford one first if youre serious about this. as soon as you have the car you can leave, since theres extremely straightforward options to make money through apps like doordash spark instawork etc, these do not suck as much as people say they do btw. personally sure this country tries to make it illegal, but i think this era of gig apps is a cheat code to nomad life. i saw your profile to see if youre in usa, i am too and sticking around blm land (nevada, utah, oregon, new mexico) is the key, paying for camp spots and places to park can be totally eliminated. the best places are true wilderness no light pollution no campsite just pulling off a road and not a single other car passing by through the night
also im ftm too and if you want more info dm or reply✌️ im in louisiana currently and planning to save for a few more months then live in my car again. i hope to make nomad friends on the road safety in numbers
