What do you do, exactly, to earn money for food/clothes in that lifestyle? That has always puzzled me
Whatever you want to do. Go spend a season helping out ona farm in Hawaii, then go help build an ecovillage in Australia, then spend some time walking around New Zealand washing dishes and bussing tables, then off to India where you’ll build rope bridges and tree houses for a sustainable community. After that, you can go to Thailand or Vietnam and teach English for a little while, before making your way into the Mediterranean and spending a year and a half on the island of Bozcaada helping an old man repair out building and herd goats.
That’s literally what my friend did for over 5 years after one day he just decided to leave and had just enough money for a plane ticket to Hawaii from San Diego. Everything else was work and accommodations he found along the way. The only reason he came back was because of covid, and now he’s an RN and makes a bunch of money and he hates his life and is in and out of rehab.
Try doing that with a passport and the typical access to Education from, say Burkina Faso.

But since the rest of the thread is in English, I hope you’ll forgive me for thinking of this in the context of predominantly English-speaking countries.
Well, the reason why I also included “typical access to Education” is that if for those from countries whose main language isn’t the most often spoken second language in the World, the most common way to learn it is at school.
