You better take a good long look at yourself because you are a humongous walking cliche, and I suspect you might already know it. There is no magical moment that will suddenly compel you to write, and please kid, for the love of fucking god, spare your wallet (or your poor parent's wallet) and don't waste a half-year in Europe. I'm somebody who has gone through university and seen a huge percentage of my facebook social circle go to Europe as if it's some kind of spiritual medicine, come back, and then spend the rest of their lives in some uninspired business-related job. Traveling, drugs, talking to arbitrary strangers will do nothing for you as an artist/writer; only hard work will. If you have no inspiration to write, then my answer to you is simple: don't fucking write.

You don't have any inspiration because you're not a writer. A writer writes because he is compelled to not because he is inspired to. Some retarded soul searching journey in some shitty armpit of a town is not going to uncover some untapped talent within yourself. Either shut up and enclose yourself in an empty room and start writing or find something else to do with your time.

My wallet has 11,000 dollars to spend as of right now, with a very high paying summer job over the next few months, an alright school-year job, and expenses covered (besides some odds and ends like some of my food and drinking) in the fall. A "half-year" is a cap. My intention was to spend time over there until I land a job interview that seems promising in my field (aerospace engineering). I would probably end up just doing a couple of months, being realistic. I feel inspiration to write, but haven't had the "spark" yet to kick off a specific idea. I've written a few movies in the past, but they were goofy comedies, and I never got around to filming them. I can feel something brewing on the horizon, I just want to get out and have some experiences to trigger it. Also take note I didn't exclusively focus on an extended European trip. I'm looking for any suggestions to get some interesting experiences to trigger some ideas to bring together what I know is floating around in my head. Drugs are out of the question, as my job is a federal government job, and I don't get into drugs anyways.

I've only read The Constitution of Liberty, but I think you could read his works in chronological order. His actual economic work may be obsolete at this point. I would recommend reading more into his politics and social theory. His ideas about the distribution of knowledge in society are good too.

What do you want to know?

If you haven't, read:

What? The economy is still, and always has been, a mechanism for information diffusion.

I'd say it's pretty redpilled. So yeah.

It's a chore at times, but it's worth it.

It's ok, bit bizzare in some place though there's some good lessons in there if you look hard enough.

Look out for the fan base though, they take things a bit too seriously.

The meaning is to find God and to know him, because he is life - eternal life. The meaning is to do the will of God, to serve God, and to follow his commands. The meaning is to demonstrate the reality of God by obedience to God.
