/out/, I have intense wanderlust. Recently turned 19, and I feel restless and purposeless in my life as it is. I currently have plans to spend the next 2 years in preparation to become a vagabond and wander for an unknown period of time.

But with each passing day I grow more restless and more miserable and discontented. I want to leave. I could go to the hitchhiker's gathering sometime in the end of august, and have the journey begin there.

Right now as it is, I plan on getting /fit/, learning spanish, a martial art, and wilderness survival before I leave in two years. But if I leave sooner than that, I'll probably have done none of these.

Does anyone have any advice about being a vagabond or what I should do? I'm terrified that I'll leave prematurely and die because I'm lacking any useful skills.

Anyone here ever been a vagabond?
