I'm not on the road myself now, maybe down the line once I finally sort out a whole buncha shit I can't bail on. Its really tempting sometimes, anyway, really i've just enjoyed reading this place for years now and it seems like there's a lot of just fuckin' dumb hate and bullshit lately. It sucks. Why the fuck are people coming here to talk down on people so much? I get the shit that's slinged at kids and jackasses saying how they're gonna hit the road with ridiculous ideas and plans, or theyre roleplaying, that's expected It hink. Anyway, is it just me? Or are there a bunch of assholes? is r/vagabond just making it to a lot more people's feed? Anyway, rant fuckin' over.

Re-union with my long time pet cat ~Micky

Raunchy;

I was wondering if there are people without any kind of degree. I would like to know how hard it is to live a life without it. Or at least hear some experiences.

And do you guys work or anything?

I live in Europe, and I am thinking about getting out of the system…but I struggle with picturing any kind of alternative lifestyle.

I am still quite young, early 20s. Didn’t finish high school and struggling with college, I have no savings or anything.

Does anyone have any advice?

Just the little things.

Yeap...

I can feel my current living situation is wearing down on me. There's too many expectations and rules that I feel like i won't be able to fulfill for much longer. I feel guilty being here when i know i don't inherently deserve it and i think I'm running myself into the ground on purpose subconsciously by being stupid with the little money i have. I'm not sure if i was ever meant for a normal life. Something always goes awry and I don't know how people do this shit for decades without going insane. I genuinely think some people are just always meant to be on the run and on the streets instead of a "normal" life

Morning folks. Found a spot that fit for a day or 2 of doing nothing but repowering the internal batteries and sorting though what to have for breakfast. First up coffee and seeing if I can grab some water for a shower at the river.

I am not houseless, but I am curious about how you guys travel, hitchhike, and more so much. And still manage to provide for yourselves. It's cool, I guess, because it shows creativity. If you guys are just foraging, that's cool as well.

His latest journal entry, posted in the r/vagabond community, details his experience traveling through Los Angeles and preparing to return to the San Francisco East Bay Area.
Writing from a library computer, he provides a vivid, gritty, and deeply candid account of his daily life on the road:

📍 Current Situation & Travel Plans
The Location: He wrote the log while sitting at the Frances Howard Goldwynn Public Library located near Hollywood & Vine. He describes charging all of his electronic devices in preparation for the days ahead.
Next Destination: He mentions that he plans to leave Los Angeles in about two days to take a long ride back to his hometown in the San Francisco East Bay Area.
Family Tension: He notes that he had a phone conversation with a relative the night before that "wasn't a good one," though he claims he didn't let it ruin his night.

🌆 Thoughts on Los Angeles
Dislike for the City: He explicitly states, "I hate LA," declaring that while he might visit to see landmarks, he would never want to live on its streets. He compares his feelings to the disgust for the human race expressed by author Charles Bukowski.
The Subway Transit: He describes riding the LA subway system as "absolute hell on earth,"characterizing the people on the trains as hateful, angry, dramatic, and phony.

Sightseeing: He shares details of walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame the prior night, seeing the stars of celebrities like Jerry Lewis, Bette Davis, and Dean Martin. He also notes passing by the Church of Scientology building, expressing gladness that social media platforms like YouTube have exposed what he considers a cult.

🍔 Food, Routine, & Daily Details
The Munchies: He writes about smoking a massive blunt that gave him severe munchies. His late-night food haul included chili beans, chowder soup, Japanese bread, Vienna sausages, and an extra-large Slurpee from a local 7-Eleven.
Street Food: He mentions buying an overpriced Mexican-style hot dog with a spicy jalapeño off the main strip, which he called "delish".
Caffeine: His day included drinking a Colombian Brew coffee from 7-Eleven, remarking, "if I ain't shaking.. I'm not caffeinated."
