Has Anyone Felt Like Leaving Everything
<div class="IPBDescription">and...</div> just to travel. No, not vacation. Actual traveling with little to no money, risking the chances of death at the price of adventure. Perhaps with a good trusted buddy. I'm sure there are people in the world who are crazy enough to do this. Such dreams...

[edit]Not that I'm suggesting you do so, I'm just saying you're not the only one who thinks about the topic of living on the move, travelling light.
Run Forrest, Run!!!!
go to macdonalds, look for the oldest or weakest person you can find, grab thier frys, run. Seriously, who is gonna care about a pack of frys in the long run? as long as you never do that in that particular macodonalds again, which shouldn't be too big of an issue when you are walking to a undifined location indefinately, it should just remain in people's memories as a freek occurace till the end of time. For long highway walks, spend a couple days squegeeing car windows and use the money to stock up on nuts dried fruit and granola, you know, stuff that you don't have to eat much of to be full.
Yes, I think that's whats holding most of us back
I will then make a website where I will drastically exaggerate the amount of sympathy mail and offers to donate money and supplies.
Next, I will make a paypal account and reap the awards.
Then, I'll take a vacation in Japan or something, and take pictures of myself struggling up a cliff.
Donut king is better, you ask for a milkshake and a donut.
The milkshake is a decoy, usually they will put the donut in a bag and place it on top of the counter, THEN go make the shake.
Not that I've ever done this...
>_>

Pfft, it's easy to survive in Japan. Just sell you're panties.
If your like me and did like it, start saving as much as you can and then just go.
Odd jobs to keep your bank balence from plummeting too fast are easy enough to find if you aint picky.
Interesting idea though.

Obveously you don't know the wonderful taste of hobos.
See, in Germany, if someone shows up at your door during supper, you're supposed to invite them in, and it's bad manners to say no when you are invited in!
Atleast, that's what i've been led to believe through my years of not paying attention during German classes.

...because it's customary for people in Germany to eat people who ask to be eaten.
...The crazy ones anyway.
I want to buy a mobile home and travel around living in it for a year or so. Maybe with some satellite internet. Barring that, I could just live at my grandparents house for a year or so. Plenty of deer, squirrels and fish to hunt, and plenty of guns for hunting them. Okay, no so much for the fish.
The fish are a bit dead now. Few perch left around there. Anyway...
I think I'm a bit too shy to go running around a country, but if I had the money, just to see stuff, I think it'd be fun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I'm thinkin it would be A....
...God I'm pathetic....
Siehk food is friggin good too, and thier temples are so nice, with tonnes and tonnes of soft carpet. On top of it all, they will teach you punjab for free if you ask them too, so going from temple to temple for a reasonably long ammount of time, you could quite possibly learn punjab in your spare time, which might not be nessicary, but is certainly cool.
I personally think the christian churches could learn alot from these guys.
Through my dependence on the generosity of others, hopefully I'd be able to survive.
And at night, I'd travel the slums and alleys as a sort of vigilante... maybe thwacking the begeezus out of drug dealers and other low-life pond scum with my staff.
Hmm... looks like I'm mistaking myself for a superhero now...
North Ont-air-I-oo.
No idea why but deep down I'm driven to see new places and get huge surges of excitement from exploring the unknown =D
I'm happiest in a coach travelling through a pitch black night with rain pattering off the windows as a freezing cold draft utters through the vehicle wrapping itself around your ankles and sending chills through you.
That or walking... anywhere! The less I have a clue of where I am the happier I get ^^
Luckily I don't seem capable of being lost. Ever.
Trust me I've tried; oh how I tried, but no matter where I end up I can find my way out/back pretty easy even without knowing where to go =o
I love riding boats on the open sea too; the cool salty air combing through my hair and caressing my skin while beneath the blue waves a teeming world full of life looks up through the glassy surface. Ironically I'm practically phobic of water I can't see the bottom of... not sure if it's due to my imagination, those couple of times I almost drowned or that boat trip where we drove alongside a whale so big it could've flicked the boat into oblivion without realising we were there o.O
Um but yeah; getting back on topic I get that feeling lots. I kinda indulge myself a little with it by going on long walks or cycling off to heck knows where with a friend... not quite the same as the full blown experience but I get to come back to a cooked meal and the internet ^~
bah, you beat me to it. awesome book. very sad though.

It's not really meant to be mean.
If anyone remembers the story in Forrest Gump, he started jogging one day, and just kept going...and going.....and going.
But I had hoped that saying saying "Run Forrest! Run!" would be the shortcut to reminding people of that.
The end...
I'm not evil.....
Scout's honor.....
So what if I was never a scout?
Shut up, I'M NOT EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!
