I do want stuff but ... about 30 months ago I got rid of everything and started traveling. I've been living out of a large suitcase and backpack for that entire time, staying at hotels or renting AirBnBs a month at a time.
Because I'm living out of my suitcase I can't buy anything without throwing something away. I have 2 pairs of shoes, dress and non-dress. When I've gone to some place tropical I've had to buy sandals and then throw them away when I get on the next plane because there's no room in my suitcase.
It also means I can't really go shopping. Some of you might think that's a good thing but many people enjoy shopping while traveling. I'm in a cold place now. A couple of days ago I spilt something on my one heavy jacket. While it's in the cleaners I had to buy another which I'll have to discard one way or another before I get on the next plane.
For me personally yea, I miss having a TV to chill at. I miss video games and PC games (carrying a mac which few games run on and can't have a console). Wish I had a desktop PC for higher end graphics. Wish I could play with VR but can't carry that equipment. (well except for a Google Cardboard)
I'm ready to go back to living somewhere though being un-rooted I'm finding it extremely hard to decide where I should plant roots again.
- DaveSapien 11y agoSo much this! I am in the exact position and facing the same issue. For me going back full time to my homeland and buying a ps4 seems like a good idea, but I have to keep reminding myself that these comfortable things ultimately just drag you down and end up owning you. I too will plant roots 'somewhere' someday, and that to will be an adventure. Good luck in finding your home!
