You have maybe been asking yourself some questions about it, and I'm going to try and describe the pros and cons of living out of a backpack.
Do I miss my family?
Well, I actually haven't lived with any of my immediate family since September of 2008, so I have gotten used to living without them. Having said that, yes of course I do miss my mother and sister. My brothers and I don't really keep in contact all that much nowadays.
How do you decide where to say?
Sometimes it just happens, if I'm with a friend and we're hanging out late, I'm more than likely staying with them that night. Sometimes I'll figure it out in the afternoon so I don't have to worry about it. Sometimes it starts to get late and I don't have a place lined up yet, but luckily I have great friends AND a list of friends that wouldn't mind me staying with them.
What's in your backpack?
In my backpack I have pants, a few shirts, my computer + chargers, underwear and a few pairs of socks, gum, a bag of all my toiletries, 2 external hard drives, a hair straightener, a mini notebook, a ard reader, a lighter, gym shorts, cut-offs, and an aluminum water bottle.
It certainly isn't for everyone. I get a lot of interesting oppertunities, as well as miss out on a lot.
Not having a room means I don't get much privacy, ever. Luckily, I never need much privacy so that's all good.
I haven't regularily slept in a bed since I moved to California back in July of '07, so I am used to sleeping on couches, floors, and air mattresses.
Some things will start to get difficult, such as getting to work when I need to. That will be figured out in time.
I have yet to spend a night on the streets, but I feel it will be a good experience that I will take for what it is and see what happens.
My backpack rules, everything is always neat inside it and it is very sturdy and rugged. Thank you Electric.
Time to leave you,
Also, if you've been wondering why all my information is on many of my posts, it is because I update my blog through my blackberry..
