I tried this kind of life for a while (about a year, maybe), but did not find it as fulfilling as I had imagined.
I remember the day when I decided to go back home. I met a German guy, in his mid-fifties, who had been living out of his suitcase most of his live. He was extremely talkative and very friendly. We shared some drinks and talked most of the night. Next day, both of us travelled onwards, each towards our own new destination. That is when I realised that I could not keep doing this, I did not want to be like that guy when I was in my mid-fifties. He was happy, but I wouldn’t have been.
All I can say is that I believe the idea of such a life is romantic, but not for everyone. If you try it, and find that you don’t like it, it’s not a failure to come back home and get back to a “normal” life. With that said, the best way to find out if such a life is for you is to try it out.
