Probably



Motorcycle Tramp..... I like that haha.

I think we all dream of escaping reality and living a care free life. But the reality is quite different once you're out there doing it. Once the novelty wears off, it gets quite annoying living out of a leaky tent, getting showers in rest stops, never having clean clothes and never really having friends because you're always moving. It can get a bit pointless unless you have a destination or a real motivation. Drifting is just drifting.

I get home sick after about 5-6 months. Travelling can be quite a cliche these days. What I really miss is familiarity and being able to turn off my brain and feel comfortable in my own place. That's hard to do when you're always moving and in new strange places.

What also gets really tiring for me whilst away is going through the routine and meeting new people EVERYDAY.

"Hi, what's your name, where do you come from, where did you come from and where are you going"

As much as I love meeting people from different walks of life, you know that you will say goodbye a day or two later and probably never see them again. It's shallow and not good for the soul It becomes draining. I think that's why I like travelling with people that I know I already like instead of being forced to be polite even if I'm tired and in a shitty mood etc.


However, it doesn't have to be that way... I suppose if I was going to live a hobo life on the road then I would seek out communties and communes. Work or volunteer on long projects etc. HelpX is something I still want to do. Maybe I will...
