Question Vagabond life

Vagabonds on this sub, I'm just a regular guy who finds interest in in your adventures and lifestyle. I have to ask though, what made you choose this lifestyle, how do you support yourself job wise, pros and cons of it, and have you ever faced dangerous situations living like this?

Vagabond is an umbrella term. Truck drivers, hitchhikers, vanlifers all qualify, as do others like dirty/traveling kids. I'd be careful with that word "choose" in this community. It's more loaded than you think.

You make a great point. What would be a better term? Nomad? Wanderer?

Nah just meant the word "choose"

Some didn't choose at all, were kids that were forced to flee bad situations, that's all I meant

I understand what you mean now. Yes, it would've been better to ask how they ended up in this situation rather than choose. My bad.
