How easy would it be to travel (fuck you this is /out/ more) europe backpacking with little to no budget? ie. hitchhiking, sleeping innawoods, foraging, dumpster diving?

It's not that your question isn't /out/ related--it totally is. But people on /trv/ have experience doing this, and it's a common topic. You can get some honest-to-goodness, useful advice from them.

This is certainly more /trv/ related, but I'll humor you.

Me and a few kids I know have travelled this way in both Europe and the States, and it's far easier in Europe, and pretty easy in the States.

So, I'm going with "pretty fucking easy as long as you're not a retard."

Although you don't really dumpsterdive, you "recycle" restaurants, tell em you're on a spiritual journey or something and prepare to eat all the plain rice/beans you can stand. Or, offer to do a work trade. Also, I'd suggest learning the ukulele or something and busking for cash.

And one last thing before I leave, brace yourself for the shitstorm that will soon ensue. I'm gonna place my bets on either whiteknight faggotry, "get a fucking job and save up like everyone else", or "you're whats wrong with this earth/fucking leech"

You will see soon enough.

Every time anyone ever mentions dumpster diving, or hitch hiking, or anything else similar, people ALWAYS freak out.

Check the hitchhiking thread for examples of this. People who think that hitchhikers are ungrateful freeloaders for example.
When it comes to trainhopping and dumpster diving you get the typical "get a jerb you filthy cunts" reactions.

couch surfing expects you to give them gifts and buy food to cook, that is money going to waste.

Uh... nope.jpg? True enough, there might be some cases, but the overal consensus in the community is that money is not a matter - especially if the surfer poses as a poorfag. But be prepared to wash your own dishes and stuff like that.

Cause having someone at hand who knows the city, lets you access his kitchen, sleep in his house, and maybe shows you around a bit is totally worthless, right?

Sleeping in the street and eating fast food is more expensive.

You'll always have the obligation to talk. Whenever you buy shit, use public transportation, hitchhike, ask for directions, get stopped by a cop, meet people...

It can be quite enjoyable, you know? If the guy you're staying at is a twat, you can just grab your pack and leave.

I mean when you have to talk out of politeness as a guest, that's what I call obligations. In the shop etc, I am a customer, same applies to hotels. But I almost never stayed in hotels.
