How many of you just want to slap on a backpack and wander

Me

 

I've often wanted to just "Ramble on", - "That's the way"

 

No. I need a detailed itinerary. A self-made detailed itinerary...

 

I do it all the time and I love it. c:

 

I do that all the times with my friends and the backpack is the only thing I'm wearing. Oh, and sneakers, too..

 

I always have a destination/itinerary in mind - the top of a 14er in Colorado, out on a Friday afternoon, back on a Sunday morning in the Davy Crockett Forest, out for a few days in the Davis Mountains of West Texas for example.

 

I want to slap on a backpack and wander too!

 

I really want to

 

Something I wanted to do for years, along with a bicycle tour, AT, PCT, CDT, etc...
Something happened along the way with my plans. One day a pretty young gal crawled into bed with me and said, in her most seductive voice, "Honey, the rabbit died...." and that was that.

Arthritic joints, etc came with it all, and all those plans fell by the wayside. Now I think: "Sometimes you just gotta' have another plan!"

 

I am more apt to shorter excursions - I take walks. There's a track at a nearby park where 3 laps makes a mile. It's not the traditional quarter-mile track. I walk at shopping centers as well; though when it's crowded I do more dodging and less walking.

 

Yes, I want to food crawl the world with no specific plan. But that's not reality. Least not now

 

Ridin on my horse

 

I have a teenage son at home, so i cant

 

Wander? Why would anyone want to go wandering in today's world? Liable to wander off and disappear people!!

 

i don't like the whole backpack part. i hate carrying things around in general. can i hire a golf caddy to carry my backpack around for me?

 

Take what I can strap on my bike and ride away.
Would need to support myself on the road somehow. plus health insurance. Big hurdle. Would need to pick up work.
It's doable.
I follow a guy on YouTube that's lived off his bike since the 90s.

 

Me too, the food is always my number one interest when I travel. And I'm not really interested in fancy, expensive restaurants. I like authentic, family owned hole in the wall places, and I like making friends with the people who work/own these places.

 

Care to share the guy's name or youtube link?
