A friend of mine went to live on a beach on the other side of the world for 2 years. He would just follow the tourist party every day. I don't have what it takes to do that. It's really all about the mind set. He did have an exit strategy: Ask his mum for a ticket. Which he eventually did. Hearing about it afterwards I was somewhat angry with him that he never called to ask for money. A few hundred euro goes a long way compared to nothing? When it was my time to leave I didn't even have a car to live in. I maintain a complex agenda where I would invite myself a week in advance to sleep on vaguely familiar peoples sofa for 1 night never more than 1x every 14 days per household. The bargain was this: I clean your kitchen, I cook an elaborate meal, I clean the kitchen again, I sleep on your sofa and leave after coffee in the morning. If I had money I would spend it on the meal but usually I had the host pay for it. Some people I barely knew would compensate for it by turning their kitchen into something like a war zone. I joked how welcoming it looked. Others never bothered to cook anything elaborate and welcomed the formula. It was a surprisingly interesting period that lasted something like 8 months. I think I've actually helped a good number of burned out people who just gave up cleaning the house and/or cooking and badly needed a break from it.
