Has anyone else here traveled around living in a backpack for a while? What about car/van life? What are your experiences and if you're still doing it what are your plans for the next year?
I've been doing it for 5 years straight after my Mom passed and I had no ties left to keep me involved with society or my hometown much.
Now I'm renting a large property and house, working on my hobbies and profitable skills and saving up cash for when I inevitably dip out back into the world again this spring.

I'm getting a backpack set up and possibly a 4runner. I just don't know where I want to go though anymore, I've been all over the US a few times and I hate crossing the continental divide, I'm probably going to stay in the PNW for a while until something interesting draws me east, but I'm also considering biting the cost of a passport to go start traveling in other countries too.
