how to be a traveling gypsy

I was wanting to know some information on how to survive the traveling life.
Where does income come from. And is it polite to stop at a commune for food and wash.
What are the basics.
I'm wanting to leave very soon.
I can taste it in my blood.
and I don't want to go alone either.

 

well hey sage! where are you right now?
the income thing is actually pretty easy especially when you can play guitar or something, you can sell things you made or get yourself a job for a week or so.
food and wash, sounds terrible but really isnt, the, uhhm, well here in holland they call it 'slaaphuis', where homeless people can sleep and have a meal for 3 euro's and can take a shower and such. i dunno if it's polite to stop at a commune, it depends i guess, we always let strangers in, you can always sleep at our place as long as you are nice.
i lived on the streets for about a year, by choice. if you need some info just pm me.

 

well I believe to be a nice person.
Negative vibes are not apart of my mind.
And I would love to talk more about this.
Maybe you can get me a starters manual up and running . lol
Well thanx for responding . I'm learning the guitar a litle better.
But I'm a great hand drum player.
well fill me in.
peace.
ps like the Dead .Gif

 

haha, a starters manual...oh well...uhhm...take those drums with you!
and make sure you can indentfy yourself, i dunno about the hospitals there but here they have awesome lady's rooms always clean with a nice sink and mirror so you can brush your teeth lol, get yourself a good sleepingbag, a dog [incase you get lonely],
shoes that can take a little rain, oh well...those are things you will figure out within a week of travelling, you should just do it, just pack your bags and go!

 

sage, the first post (the one that started the thread) is what i deal with everyday =\. i know i need to be out there, with truly good hearted people. doing what? i'm not too sure... a lot of random traveling, a bunch of commune living, etc... i just know this life of labor and worldly stress is not for me, and i've known this for years now... yet i see myself about to start my second year of college, and it kills me that i'm continueing to just ride this path... i tell myself "i'm loving this growth in college, the learning... i'll get my teaching degree and then venture off into what i know is greater, and awaits me..." but, everyday i wake up and find living all these days in south florida, it just depresses me a tiny bit.

when are you looking to start your traveling? i'd love to join you. PM me man. much love, and peace.

 

i thought i was the only one who felt this way
i've only been living here for less than a year
it seems like everyday that i'm here i hate myself more

 

I feel the same way, but I want to finish school before I make any decisions.

 

Sage,
How old RU? It is not impolite to stop for a meal or shower...You can go to www.welcomehome.com and check out the 2004 rainbow guide. You can stop at our place if you are over 18 for a couple of days in upstate NY. Be careful out there, girlfriend

 

i want to travel also...

 

wooohooo! lets go together!

 

good id!

 

dude, ive just been dreaming of the day.. i hope you still keep me in mind, id love the oppurtunity... take care bro, talk to you soon. (email me)

 

how to be a traveling gypsy??
one answer to that covers everything

MAKE MANIFEST!!!!

I love that feelng we get that calls us out in the world, that burning feeling i your belly
have a safe trip

 

Blink...

are you going to the national rainbow gathering down in WV??

 

I think a lot of poeple feel this way (especially at an age when you have the least responsibility as an adult). I would love to travel. In the US I kind of get creeped out being a chick and maybe hitchiking and all the weirdos out there. We should all start a traveling gypsy group, go in on a big van or walk, travel the country, camp, and experince a life rid of materials and make money from your talents whether it be music, art, writing...

Anyone?

 

Im doing it right now actually... I've only been out for about a month and a half now, and without certain resources, like set places to stay while you rest and figure things out, it can be a bit tricky, and gathering income is an interesting process, but it comes about, a good idea is doing WOOFFing, its working on organic farms, you can stay at these places and have meals and showers, never have to spend money, and you plant, cultivate, and harvest vegetables for local farmers. It's not as easy as it sounds to sell things and paly guitar to make money... Hey but it's a really wild thing, being a travelling gypsy, expireinceing the richness of formulating abundance through inspiriation of 10000 kinds.

I think itd be good to find more places in the woods to stay for free.

Hey lily love, i might be into that, me and my girlfriend are taking off in a few weeks on the journey.. going to go to the Okanagon in central BC to pick fruit, and that rainbow gathering is in West Virginia? Hmmm.. maybe we'll meet up

 

sounds interesting besides from the fact that i do not life in the USA

 

hey everyone...i'm in

 

Heyy Sage man, we still need to get together. I want out of here so bad. When I get outta rehab. Actually, I have no idea why I'm still hangin around...What am I staying here for? I guess for lack of a place to go or people to go with.

 

In a year's time I plan on leaving this hell hole, if people are interested in traveling by then im in.
