Do you ever get the feeling to get away for no real reason?

I am a very social person but sometimes, I just wish some random van filled with hippies would pull up and be like, "yo, wanna go to Cali, grab a back pack full of stuff!"

Man, I would do that! My mom would be pissed since I am in college, but sometimes I just want to become a complete enigma to everyone and leave for a new place and have people wonder about me as I travel cross country forgetting the life I started in CT and, now in college.

I dunno, I just get all these feelings all of a sudden, its hard to put them in a few paragraphs on the internet and feel that all you guys will understand exactly what I mean. its not even to run away from any problems or anything. I just feel I have gotten all I can from this college and my hometown. Made a dozen or so good friends who all ended up or are going to trasnfer to bigger schools. I have done the dating thing plenty here. But I just want to explore! Any folks stopping by Southern Maine?

I would love to just find work at some random place and have a nice cozy place in a nice town outside a big city or something. I dunno, I just got this urge today.

I am lucky if I have $500 but I always have things to sell. And plus, that is a start.

 

dude, my sentiments exactly, i live in this small town, nothing to do, no weed, no other drugs, i dont even drive my new fucking car because there is no where to go.

 

if that happened to me, id be like hell yea and ask if they also had some alcohol.

 

Go on road trips a lot.I am in school and still manage to do it.Like i live in fl so sometimes ill go to tampa for a weekend or check out orlando.During the evacuations for hurricanes in fl I got tanked and woke up in new orleans it ruled.

 

yeah, i went on one to florida over x mas break. started from CT and took a few days. got to see the country and it was wicked nice.

 

Man, I know exactly how you feel. i was born and raised in the same town and have been here for 21 years. I gotta get away. I'm Moving to Eureka CA in June, and i cant wait. I don't know anyone within 2000 miles from there so its gonna be a huge change, but i figure, If i don't do it now or in the next few years, am i ever gonna do it?

 

ugghh...I so badly want to peace out...bring my my music, some clothes and money and just get outta here with a few nice hippies!

edit: my simpsons dvds too, haha, need a good laugh for rough times...always gets me through!

 

^ill run off with you if u got a car, im from mass, im serious too, i wouldnt mind bumming around the country 4 a few yrs

 

d'oh, wishin' i had a car right now cos i would

 

^i may start walking the appalacian trail soon and go where that takes me, or just walk acroos the country. pack up some water bottles and energy bars along w/ a couple hundred dollars a buch of weed and just bum around this great nation.

 

heh, one of my prof. here @ college is doing that right now or very soon...maybe you'll come across him.

 

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling NOW. lol

 

oh man...i enny you, heh, you live in oregon, what a beautiful state! soooo green

 

I would love to do something like that once I'm in college (or mainly the summer between college years) but I'm not brave enough to set off on my own like that. =P I do want to backpack around Spain by myself, because then I'll just be a crazy American tourist.

 

My opinion is that if you want to go and travel, just go and do it. Commit yourself to the plan and go with the flow. It's quite easy to talk yourself out of doing something. But yeah anyways, i would recommend spain(of course) but if you're going to do that, try morrocco or even better yet Turkey. Same thing but a little more affordable.

 

But the wrong language. =P

Eventually when I take some basic Arabic I want to go to Morocco, but I think it's kind of rude to go to a country without any grasp of tha language. That's just me though. I would pay any price for Spain, no REAL need to eat or anything.

 

holy shit.. aint that the truth!! ... ah sorry I know this thread died out like a year ago but I was just browsing and saw this...

 

man i want to do that to i know how you feel anyone wanna come kidnap me message me

 

I live with that feeling every day...
I feel like I need to just leave and see places and meet people and make a living along the way. I really wish I could.
lol Hey, still one year of high school left for me.
Then who knows....
I guess I'll find out

 

Yeah, Oregon is a cool place...but I've been here my whole life. I'll be looking for a change of scenery in the feature, after I finish up school and such. I'm kinda thinking of East Coast for a bit! PM me if you ever make it to Portland. It's always fun to meet new people.
