Sometimes I get the urge to drop all my responsibilities and go on a long hike to somewhere far away.
Once I was walking around the neighborhood at 5AM. The sun had just come out and I got this really quiet and relaxing feel. But on the other hand I hate going out if I have to be around other people, it makes me feel pretty uncomfortable.
I wish I had all the time in the world to walk every road, hike every trail, and see every square inch of earth. Anyone here relate?
I think about it every day, OP

you do have all the time in the world. You have right now, until you die. Go! See the world! But alas, you remain and shitpost.

Did you do it over the summer? Where did you sleep and eat? Did you get really smelly from not showering for so long? There's just so many complications, I don't know what I would do.

You should read the book Vagabonding by Rolf Potts

Failing that I guess being a ghost wouldn't be bad either.

no i started in early august. i slept wherever. sometimes campgrounds, sometimes small town city parks, sometimes people invited me in. You spend 99% of your time in bumfuck nowhere so its not hard to find a legal or at least safe place to sleep.
food was anything cheap and non perishable. ramen noodles, poptarts, pasta. most days i would chug a half gallon of milk. you consume an insane amount of calories, thats yoru biggest expense. I know some guys who kept their food expenses under 10 a day but i spent closer to 20.
i probably got smelly. i usually took a shower at least twice a week. I wasnt awful. in montana i met dudes hiking the CDT, a hiking trail that goes from NM to MT, who often went two weeks without seeing a town. they smelled like absolute shit.
you get the hang of it really fast. for the first week i was planning everything, even making reservations in campgrounds and so on, after that i said fuck it. you really do gain a lot of improvisation skills. had no real problems, except for a few mechanical issues and taking wrong turns
