>be 23 >dying slowly from my stressful inner city lifestyle

Straight up /out/some. Niceone. I was on that path and accidentally myself into a career, wife, puppy and house. Kinda regret it and think about what you're doing often.
When you visit countryside Japan you'll be blown away. The outer islands and mountains are beautiful. City Japan is awful and filthy, but the countryside is amazing.
Oneday, I plan to do as you. Godspeed anon.

>>932862
Wouldn't call cities in Japan filthy, very clean compared to other cities. Just incredibly dense with people, can be stressful if your not used to it.
But the giant dense cities are what allows such a small but highly populated country to still have great outdoor areas.

I'm going to do WWOOF when I get there. I saw this guy's vlog about his trip there, and got goose bumps when he panned out over the misty mountains.

Imagine waking up to that every day.

>>932859
Nice OP, have fun.

I always wanted to see Japan, but sadly there is a mandatory fingerprint check when you enter the country now and I refuse to be treated like a criminal just for going on a vacation.

>>932859
Good luck finding a qt /out/ waifu!

I love this trend. Poor fucks, travel America! You have no idea how awesome this country can be. Its seriously lulzy all the people ive met who want to go overseas that have no interest and have never seen the awesome parts of their own country.

You could have saved that 5g and actually traveled instead of spending it all to go workaway on a fuckin shitfarm in glorious nippon.

>>932874
>I'm going to WWOOF

holy fuck i feel bad for you

>>932996
Why? The people I'll be staying with is an old couple who've been hosts for 7 years. I spoke to someone who stayed with them for months, and she told me they're very nice and that the work is fair.

I want to do something similar, is it achievable with crippling student debt?

>>933051
No.

Get rid of your debt first.

>>933051
Only if you go to a country with no extradition treaty with the US and stay here forever.

>>933022
Working does not equal traveling. You spent thousands of dollars to go be a farmer.

>>933062
Implying you can get rid of debt once it exceeds X. Literally I would need to pay more than my income for many years.

>>932859
That's awesome broski, I did the same aged 24 actually. Two years in Australia and one year in Sri Lanka and South East Asia. I also spent a month in Mongolia.

I mostly lived and worked in rural areas while in Australia and saved up most my money by camping.

Now I work a shit job and often think that was the highlight of my life... but I don't regret it one bit.

I'd love to. Would like to learn some practical skills and do something manly like chop wood.

>>933089
Who the fuck pays their student loans?

Inb4 jaded old men tell me that only degenerates stay in debt

>>933087
>Working does not equal traveling.
Nice opinion you have there.

There's no better way to try and live like the locals than doing WWOOF.

idk how you people do it. I work hard all the time and can only afford a vacation maybe once or twice a year. If I can get the time off I'll only be there for like a week and it still strains my finances, and I'm pretty frugal. It seems like only people who have money already can afford to travel endlessly, rich assholes.

>>933124
Brains and brawn.

If you're stuck in a financial situation where you can't save money, then you're basically a slave.

Move. Get a better job. Educate yourself if you can't get a better job. There's no reason to live a stagnated lifestyle when you, as a human being, have the instinctual ability to adapt very well to new situation.

>>933107
>do something manly like chop wood
The first option: you're a 13 year old boy
The second option: you're a gay 13 year old boy who's in denial

>>932859
Dumb cuck, you could've quit your job and lived life on the American road hitchin, hoppin, gettin schwilly with crust punks, and sleepin in the dirt! HAHAHAHA you dumb slave!

>>933131
>If you're stuck in a financial situation where you can't save money, then you're basically a slave.

Can I have this? I've been in need of a good mantra. In all seriousness though, humans are naturally nomadic; the idea that the meaning of life is paying for a home, car, countless bills, student debt, all because you need them to hold a job you wouldn't need if you didn't have those expenses in the first place is ridiculous. I know it sounds like hippy bullshit to a lot of you, but money and things don't bring health and happiness.

>>933121
have fun being a peasant

sure beats the city grind though amiright? XD

>>933121
Live like the locals does not equal traveling

Last year I hitch-hiked, met a ton of awesome people, swam in every creek, stream, river, lake and ocean along the way, taught myself how to mold and fire clay, set effective traps, cooked and ate my first squirrel, and spent three full months getting to sleep under the stars. Now, I could never put a price on that experience, but if I could, it would be a lot higher than the piddly six grand I could have made had I stayed and worked during that time.

>>933204
/thread

>>932859
I wish you luck, anon.

Just don't spend too long traveling before establishing yourself somewhere. Or do, I mean you can do whatever you want, you're a big boy now. My uncle was the son of an actress in one of the James Bond movies and spent a huge portion of his life just blowing the money away traveling around the world and doing all sorts of stuff. Sure he got the experiences, but at the age of 50 or whatever he is now, he has almost no marketable skills. Now that the money has dwindled to the point where he needs to be conscious of it, he moves from shit job to shit job, quitting after it gets to be a grind.

That being said, what he did was move his family here to rural Canada, buying a decent sized piece of land right near our family and build a noice wood-heated house right beside some forested bit.

Moral of the story, idk m8.

>>932888
If that's the reason you don't go, because you can't tolerate the government having a copy of your finger prints, you clearly don't want to go that badly. I'm not saying its either good or bad but its not a solid reason.

>>933314
Your uncle probably lived more in those thirtyish years than most people who live to be a hundred could have ever hoped for. Yeah, it's a shame that he didn't budget better and go fishing instead of jet-setting, but that's hardy a life of regret. Imagine his regret if he spent all that time working and couldn't physically do anything fun during retirement now.

How the fuck does anyone save money if they don't live with their parents or something?

>inb4 iPhone Starbucks etc

I don't do any of that and it's still impossible to save. I don't have a good job but I work full-time.

Sounds fun OP wish I wasn't poorfag.

"Travel" as a lifestyle is masturbatory and pathetic. Get some skills and do or create something instead of coasting like a faggot while everyone supports you.

>>933346
Hypocrite

>>933112
So should I just defer ever year until I die?

>>932994
I seriously agree
Went on a roadtrip from KY to NV and back, spent $600 for 2 weeks. I'll never forget it.

Although the trip back was the fast part. Back in two days, 16-17 hrs one day.

>>933112
What did you do in that scenario? Skip? How?

>>933346
He's paying for it, what am I missing here? And why are you so angry?

Also OP, are you excited that you can now say baka desu senpai IRL?

>>933346
Sounds like somebody's racked up to much debt to take some time off without destroying their credit.

Some people are responsible enough that we can afford to let loose every once in a while.

>>933360
>>933364
I started traveling and claimed homelessness when they called me, paid 5 bucks a month for 2 years and they dropped 5k off my debt, did it again for the other 5k.

>>933365
Yeah, but it's not an accomplishment. It's basically an extended vacation and/or being a bum.

Nothing wrong with that every once in a while, but for years on end as a "lifestyle" is pathetic. People should stop glorifying it.

>>932874
There are plenty of misty mountains in the US weeb.

OP here.

I'm not from the US. I'm not even going to the US after I made a thread here asking about how people would react to a traveler asking to camp on their land and I found out that half would shoot me on sight.

>>933471
>listening to shitposters

>>933471
As a burger who has been to Japan, you made the wrong choice.

I even told you not to listen to the people in that thread, and posted about how i've traveled the USA and how fucking awesome it is. Japan is novel, but unless you can keep moving that novelty wears off fast. Working on a farm in Japan is going to be exactly like working on a farm anywhere, except you wont be getting paid because of WWOOF.

My advice, dont do that retarded WWOOF shit, use the rest of your money to hitch hike around Japan and actually see the country. Hitching there is retardedly easy and you'll find helpful people literally everywhere you go.

>>933462
Okay grandpa, go back to work we all know what's important to you.

>>933121
Agree. A normie uni kid will go to Scotland. Guess what they'll do? Go to Glasgow, get drunk, eat like shit, leave after a few days.

What did I do? Trained up, wwoofed for 5 weeks. Met all the local farmers in the valley. Have tea with old lady down the road, can't understand anything she is saying her accent is so strong. The butchery in the nearby town gets to know me. Farmer take me out to pub, restaurant for lunch if we are in town, introduce me. I'm just bicycling around in my farmer gear, everyone just assumes I'm Scottish after a while. Go hiking in the hills behind the farm. Farmer gives me transport for setting up next leg of journey and sends me off all set. Bicycle across the freaking highlands, lochs and all. Would wager I "experienced" Scotland more than some drunk uni kid.

>>932859

Second.

Remember, when you die in won't matter what car you drove or what house you lived in, the only thing you'll have to hold on to in your last moments are the experiences you've had while you were here.

He'll still be facing the same problems that made him want to leave, unless he works towards goals while he's travelling. But most travelers are focused on doing fun time activities than thinking about becoming eternal beyond the grave.

Actually those jaded old men are the ones who wrecked it for you. They got majors in things like Sub-Saharan African Studies, racked up 40k in debt and skipped out on the repayment.
Now thanks to them student loans are treated like tax debt-it survives bankruptcy. You're just fucked for life.

>>933191
>money and things don't bring health and happiness.
Actually they do.
Studies have repeatedly shown that the richer you are, the happier you tend to be. And it makes sense when you think about it-more money means less debt; more ability to cope with emergencies and you're able to do, go, and buy what you want on your schedule.

I want to do what you did. Really work my ass of and then leave,

>>934716
Not him but I work in a warehouse.

When times are really busy, they'll have people working 10 hour shifts 7 days a week.
Those weeks suck because no life at all, but the paychecks are NICE.

My dad started working when he was 15. Retired at 60, died of cancer last July at 64.
Don't die without traveling, even if it's for work

Anecdotally, I'd have to disagree with you. That whole trip I had $200 in emergency money. Once that ran out and I had to rely on ingenuity and perseverance to succeed instead of commercialism, I starting growing as a person in ways that I had never even thought possible before.

I am preparing for a trip to.
This march i am going to do the Appalachian trail, its my first time traveling by myself.

How did you get your gig on the farm lined up? Also how can you be free and travel if you work on the farm? are you going to only work there for a few months to save up some money?

1B, 486x500px

>>934859
yo OP >>934421 here

what all did you do to prepare? apart from packing food and basic camping gear before hitting the road, im at a loss of what to do, to get on your level.
hostels, slumming, just figuring shit out on the road? I can do that but I keep psyching myself out that theres more to plan

burning up to get going already.

>>934934
I'm a few drafts in, and don't really know how to answer this. Everyone wants something different, and you'll end up growing a lot very quickly, for better or worse depending on the situations that you put yourself in, so what you're going to want is going to change on a daily basis.

My plan this year is to get some 'me time'. A bed roll, a pack pole and a very very remote lake are my plan for the summer. By fall I might decide that I want to take up a seasonal job and upgrade some gear or I might decide that a warm beach is more the speed I'm looking for, hell, maybe it'll be a seasonal job on a warm beach.

What's your plan? Maybe I can give you some solid advice on what might be a good idea to change.

>>934953
first idea is since ive already been quite a bit around the US, i'll do that during these winter months to 'train' for overseas travel. I have some camping gear, boots, no good hiking backpack
get to some isolated bits like west coast and national parks, and a few major cities I want to see

once the spring months hit, or w/e then plan is to get to europe and try to scoop around from UK to poland (maybe russia) and then swing south through slavics and over to france/switzerland/italy.
thats where the snag is, travel in the US I can camp or sleep in my car, but in EU its more complicated. trains, hitchiking (fuck that), taxi (also fuck that). im not sure what to bring and how to get around. just jump from hostel to hostel? but that's like $100+ a week minimum just for the room, if my research is good. thats going to cost a fuckload, etc.

maybe Africa or Australia after that idk.

>>935067
Hitchhiking isn't as bad as you think. The only people that will pick you up are the people that want to pick you up. Unless you're a female traveling alone I'd recommend it, even then it has been done. Trains are usually a better way to cover long distances, but it takes money and I personally prefer to go without.

I'd pack some sort of light shoe. Especially when you're walking on roads, you'll get tired much faster wearing boots than carrying them.

I've heard good things about roadside camping through Europe; Look it up yourself to be sure, but I understand this to be some sort of "freedom to roam" law that you're basically allowed to pass through areas without getting hassled. Again, don't take my word for it.

As far as what to bring, I'm a huge fan of the bivvy setup. No need to place stakes or find trees that are just the right distance apart, just roll it out and crawl inside. Plus if you're in an area that you don't want people walking up on you while you're sleeping, they're pretty low profile. Mine is an SOL escape, CCF pad, Thermolite Extreme liner and a small piece of PVC tarp for a groundcloth. You'll probably also want to carry a med kit, hygiene kit, cook kit, change of clothes, water filter (in some places you'll want to filter tap water too), but I've done shorter trips (a couple weeks), where all I've needed is my bed roll and a CamelBak.

Fuck you because i live in a shitty country and i have to work for like 6 months for 1k$ oh also no one gives fucking visa to me no longer then then 5 day.

1B, 486x500px

>>935077
well thats good news. the whole "backpacking around europe" thing seems to be pretty common, but no idea. Never even heard of a bivvy, but it looks like a tarp and one of those could easily work (and the basic campign supplies like the med kits etc.) Then, I could go touring a city for 3 or 4 days and stay in a decent hostel while I see the sights before getting back to the Bivvy camping. Need to look for national parks over there

Theres some fairly cheap train tickets just to transit from major cities and through borders, but good to know that a bedroll and water source is all we really need to just nomad around. do you stock on food as well or acquire it local? I suppose eating egg mcmuffins for 3 days straight while hoofing it in europe wouldnt be bad.

So do you just look up a random farm in some village and call them up?
Did they even speak English?

Sheeeit

Well gotta thank you OP, I never considered that being a communist was the true path toward my dreams.

>>935156
Glad I could help. A bivvy is basically just a bag that your sleeping bag goes in. Some have little frames like a mini-tent for your head, some are open at the hood, some are insulated or thermally reflective, all are waterproof and breathable and basically replace a tent completely.

As far as food goes, I learned pretty quick that planning ahead sucks. You'll have a lot more fun if you don't restrict yourself to what you thought you'd want six months ago. I always carry eight packs of MRE peanut butter as an emergency ration, but what I eat is dependent on what I can find, catch or buy at the time.

If money starts getting tight, the best calorie to cost ratio for fast food that I've found so far is (McD) sausage biscuits with mayo.

>>936170
It's hard work, but pretty rewarding. I've been shovelling manure and chopping wood today.

Pretty much, yeah.

There's no shower at the farm I'm staying at. Instead, they have a traditional goemon buro bath tub that you heat by firing wood under it.

All that chopping today was rewarded pretty well with a nice hit soak. Really fun to try and live like the locals do.

That looks pretty awesome!

Travel and farming are generally recognized as /out/ as long as the travel isn't commercial (tours and cruises). In my opinion, the daily activities accompanying it are at least /out/ related.

And no... I missed the reference, I guess we can only be associates.

Unrelated but: Was supposed to go to Scotland a few years ago, back when the Commonwealth Games were to be held in Glasgow until a friend backed out.

Was rural Scotland everything I imagined it and be? Please share more, anon.

I worked at a hotel. Part time receptionist. I was lucky that two people got fired right when I decided to save up money, so I could work 280 hours a month for half a year and ended up with 10 grand saved.

I haven't gone to university yet. Part of this trip is for me to figure out what I want to do with my life.

Also, frosty bamboo pole from this morning.

Imma make you all a little more jelly.

Next week, the hosts I'm staying with will take me to a local smithy where they make farm tools. I will buy myself a genuine, handmade, Japanese machete, AKA The Nata.

>>937902
I don't know how did you even think I was asking about WWOOF. Please calm your tits, mate.

>>937960
>>938015
Thanks, for the answer. It must have been exhausting to deal with this amount of work, but I see it's quite rewarding - this bamboo is so aesthetic!

I'm also 23 and I'm finishing my computer science degree and I honestly do not recommend this path for you if you were tired by living stressful inner city life. The amount of time you need to spend indoors in front of computer screen is bonkers. IT job has quite good salary even in such a shit eastern European country I'm living in, so what you did could be possible in less amount of time or with better savings. Thanks for realizing this to me, OP.

>>938068
Buying this neat stuff ain't making me jelly. It's simply consumerism, mate.

However meting traditional smithy in person is making me quite jealous - someday I would like to take apprenticeship with a smithy.

>>938079
It's not the buying part that's nice, it's the fact that it's a unique item that I can't get at home.

It's both practical, a part of an old tradition, and a nice souvenir.

>>938100
Unless you will use it on daily basis, I still would call it consumerism.

>>938100
>>938118
Anything that's not pure utilitarianism is consumerism.
>souvenier
goyim gonna goy

>>938118
I dare you to go throw out any item you own that you haven't used today or yesterday.

Otherwise you're a hypocrite.

>>938120
By daily basis I meant regularly not every day. For example I'm not using my axe every day, because I don't need to.

However I agree with you, I'm kind of hypocrite myself as I own a lot of things I don't really need. But I am well aware of it and I'm trying to change it. One cannot just throw everything out it takes little steps to achieve this sort of functional minimalism. And the first thing is to stop your consumerism.

But please don't understand me wrong, I'm not criticizing you. If you want to buy this item and it means a lot to you, you certainly should buy it. From my point of view it's rather useless (it seems nata do quite specialized jobs) and it probably will hang on my wall, yet I am in no position to know it with the most certainty as I haven't even touched one.

>>932859
I really admire what you're doing OP. Wanted to do it a few years back but due to huge oppression from my parents i backed out. I've saved up $37k as of this month, got a decent laborer job in factory which pays a base of $1.1k/month and endless overtime hours if i want to. Right now i want to start trekking, hiking and fishing. In case you're wondering I still live with my parents which is common here in Malta.

Is there anything like WWOOF, but geared towards somewhat more technical skills? Things like machining, welding, woodwork, etc. Sounds really awesome, but I feel like I wouldn't be as useful as a farmer

>>938505
It's not only farms that WWOOF represent. In Japan at least, there's a lot of country cafes, backpacker lodges, and NPO's who also use WWOOF to get volunteers, and you'd be able to use your construction skills there.

In February I'm heading to a cafe/lodge in Chugoku. It's still too cold to grow something there, so I'll be doing other work. What that is, I don't know.

How much freedom do you have with these types of farms in WWOOF? Do they work you 24/7, or do you get weekends, time off, etc.? how likely are you to be taken advantage of?

>>938524
I work about 6 hours a day.

>wake up at 6
>start work at 7
>breakfast at 8
>work again at 9
>lunch at 12
>from 13, do random tasks like walk the dog
>take a bath around 16:30
>dinner at 17
>free from there on

And I get one day off a week. I'm living with an old couple, both are 66 years old, and they're so fucking nice and serve so good homecooked meals that I honestly don't mind doing a little extra work since they clearly need the help of strong, young people.

What people don't realize is that you're free to fuck off any time you want if you feel like you're being taken advantage of or treated unfairly. Also, WWOOF have very strict host control, and any complaint filed against a host would be taken very seriously.

>>938120

Today is my day off, so I've been lounging around the farm. It just started raining for the first time since I got here, and the sound and smell is amazing.

>10k
>travel the world
>1 year in japan
You will be broke after your year in japan. I also aspire to do a lot of traveling but you need to be more reasonable with your funds.

>>938594
I also find 10K a bit ridiculous, unless you're Alexander Super Tramping it, now if there are jobs that let you earn a little cash in addition, now were talking.

>>938594
>>938600
I'm spending no money, except for a vending machine coffee here and there, while staying with a host. That way I can easily spend less than 10k while travelling Japan.

>>938607
I suspect transportation will be the real budget killer for one of these trips, plane ticket there, then whatever cab to actually get out to the country, then to get to the next WWOOF thing, I can't see it not adding up.

>>938465
Do they? How the fuck would you know?

From your 1 week of WWOOFing?

From what you read online?

I may as well say that every WWOOFer is a baby bottom bitch who cant travel without a hand to hold.

>>938619
This thread is getting SPICY lads.

>>938618
Sure, but a plane ticket once a year and a train ride every month isn't going to kill my budget. I also enter countries on working holiday visas, so I'll be able to pick up paid work if possible.

>>938619
If you had travelled before, you'd have met these backpacker/hitchhiker types. They're in every fucking hostel. 85% of them are spoiled upper middle class brats travelling on their parent's money. They drink a shitton and generally act like they own wherever they go, giving no regards to the locals.

>>938633
My friend, im not talking about your euro hipster hostel cucks. Ive been further on foot than you, counting the miles you just rode in a plane. You speak out of ignorance BREH nothing more. Dont be such a little faggot and realize more exists than the tiny bit of the world youve seen. Theres a reason you dont meet the good ones, youre one of the little hostel kiddies who is afraid to really live with nothing but your backpack and the world around you. Thats fine. Just dont lump every traveler in with you or the faggots you met at the goddamn ho-tail. I dont even hate what youre doing, just hate that you act like a smug fuck because you saved 10 grand to go WWOOF.

>>938637
>who is afraid to really live with nothing but your backpack and the world around you
Mate, that is LITERALLY what I'm doing now. I sold ALL my possessions except what I could carry. I got nothing at home, no apartment, nothing in storage, except for a few important documents I'm keeping at a friend's place.

I've travelled since I can remember. Not those pansy arranged tours, I'm talking camping innawoods and going into the countryside in strange countries. Why the fuck do you think city life was killing me? Because I'm another millennial with a snowflake syndrome? I've worked in a hotel for 4 years, and I've seen a gazillion of those pretentious hitchhiker types, and I know for a fact that I would never associate myself with them.

Get your head out of your fucking ass. You don't have a monopoly on being a proper traveller.

Ya, nah, youre a cunt. I dont have a monopoly on shit my friend, you are exactly what i said you are.

>>938757
By definition WWOOF (or at least it's true in OP's case) is that you work for accommodation and food.

>>938753
I've never said anything like this. English is also not my first language and I don't care about all this Newspeak words, so I didn't really know what "nu-male" mean. I was simply pertaining to the way your post has been phrased.

And to replay directly to the post:
>Noting that city clothes are different than farm clothes is hate speech

Your post don't even remotely states something like this, however if you meant something like this, I totally agree with you. Framing is ass-dirty job.

Is WWOOF full of hippy numales or not? Everything about what you are doing seems comfy except the possibility of hanging out with numales

And I managed to snap a picture of the infamous goemon buro bath. It looks a bit worn, but it's so fucking comfortable to slip in to after a long day of work.

Also, I'll be staying at the farm until around the 20th, then I'll head for what I would describe as a hippie commune hotel out on the east side of Kyushu. The people there scavenge old things, strip them for useful parts, and then build shit with it. Over the years that has turned in to a full fledged hotel/restaurant.

He claims to have traveled as long as he can remember, hating on hitchers and other travelers, while simultaneously saying "wahhh 23 y/o dying slowly so stressed wahhh"
He doesn't take others views or experience into account, he just states how great it is living out his weeb fantasy of fucking farming for free of all things. His "experience" is jack shit, his viewpoints are biased, he is ignorant to a fault and you call him based?

For shame. The travelers over in homeless general shit all over this guy.

OP, how you got 1 year travel visa? As far as i know there is no travel visa for that long in Japen.
If it's true, tell me about requirements please. What I heard about:
- necessity of a 15k dollar bank savings account
- a person in Japen who will garant you and prove your law-abiding

Is it all true, enlighten me please

>>942016
I think the main point you're missing is that OP is from Denmark. Every country has different agreements about visas for every country.

However I think that OP should said something here, as he knows what he has done :)

>>942020
i'm not that far from Denmark :)

>>942023

How so? A credit score is based on your payment history. A good credit score indicates the individual has a history of paying their bills on time and are likely better managers of their money. You get a better mortgage rate because you have have shown you pay your debts, so you're less of a risk to the lender.

You came to america, went to commifornia and the desert and based your opinion that americans arent that nice on that. My dude you did it wrong. Ive never been to norway but ive traveled the usa for years on foot and lemme tell you you went to the wrong places. No reason to be so fucking butthurt.

>>947932

Are (you) still mad about op being a happening dude?

>>948170

>>948180

OP hasn't done anything special. Anyone can go WWOOF any time. That's why you're a faggot.

>all of 4chan
It's just your dick riding ass.

Anon you should invest in starting a homestead.

For those who care, look up "The Hitchhiking Viking" on Youtube.

No. We spent 10 yrs scraping to repay. This is what responsible adults do. Better option for you is only take out loans for degrees that are marketable.

Today I couldn't find the shovel, so I fixed an old broken one.

This in turn have led me to being tasked with fixing all the broken farm equipment, which is fucking awesome because I love repairing stuff.

Also, I broke my own saw when sawing a tedious log, but today I found this old rusty bastard and asked if I could buy it. They gave it to me for free. The handle is solid hardwood and the blade is some kind of spring steel, so I'm pretty hyped about getting it in to ship shape.

This is probably the saddest and most pathetic post I've ever seen. I actually feel bad for you

>>941906
Was it folded one thousand though?

does all this, THEN CHOOSES ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE COUTNRIES TO VISIT

Are you still having a great time? How much cash have you spent since arriving?

>>949521
I read a blog about some guy that spent 60$ aside from the plane ticket for one month wwoofing in japan. and like 25$ of that was for a book

OP you're a total faggot for sure, but as someone who lived in the Kyushu for four years (>he doesn't know Kyushu is the heaviest US military presence in Japan, >he believes he's getting a Real Traveler tm experience) I do really envy your trip and comfy rural lodgings.
You best get to hiking all the local mountain ranges: Aso, Koradake, the list goes on.

t. Kyushufag in NYC
>tfw haven't hiked in over a year

>>933345
You either work overtime or bust ass or both. Worked over time pretty much every week for over 16 years.

Finally down to 50's and doing alright.

0 saved but i have shit liquid i can sell.

Example. I dont count my quarters saving but i can go any time inneed and get $10 no matter how broke i am. Its a shittybwork around to self control.

>>934724
Was a truck driver for a year.

Worst year of my life.

Go to vegas 15 times.

0 dollars or sights cause dark.

>>938068
Better mail that shit home son.

Also, consider smithing as a hobby. I am.

May be little money bit never need buy a tool again.

>>938079
Youtube.

No need.

Got all i need besides the forge. Built coal 1 but no coal. Sigh.

>>938533
Not to mention japanese culture as a whole is 1000 times more polite.

>>939381
Its a long and detailed clusterfuck but long story short.

Stupid people are caught by their balls paying tons of money to our overloards.

And smart people can gain assets at like 3.4% apr for 30 years.

>>940840
Fuck that. Sorry op but id have a fucking fork. Lol

>>940849
Thats it op. I wanna go now.

Litterally just want to build odd contraptions and then die...

>>940854
My 450 score. 8% apr 30 years.

My 800 score. 4% apr for 30 years.

100k house.

Save over 4k a year for 30 years.

Save 120k on a 100k house.

Sad but true.

Yup. Burger here.

Hooked a bunch up with cars and practice for the dl tests and shit. Learned a lot of different cultures from 1 place. 0 travel required.

Japs hands down the most polite i found.

>>949314
Apparently youve never lived in a truck.

>>948043
Come to Minnesota if you want actually nice people.

Pretty good /out/ here too, if you know where to look.

I'm sure that dog is more important then your life and dreams.

Hey all.

I'm still doing fine here at the farm. The weather is turning for the better now.

On Monday I change location to the hippie commune-thing. Let's see what happens.

Also I've put up a video showing some of the work I've been doing at the farm.

>>944604
Except the part that when you pay off everything it goes right back down. Need to keep a "revolving" line of credit. No thanks.

>>933462
>It's basically an extended vacation and/or being a bum.

There's a marginal difference you entitled scum.

>>951055
Bull shit. Youre just making an excuse.

>>952705
Yeah no shit there's a difference, those dudes are actually traveling constantly and having awesome experiences all around their country. This dude is sitting on a farm. Your old man logic of
>no work=bad bad bad bad
Is totally irrelevant and retarded. Kys my man.

>>952825
Your shitty logic of
>being in one place=bad bad bad bad
is what's retarded my man. The dude's having a unique experience that he can and will walk away from at any time.

leaving your house counts as travelling, even when going for groceries
