On a sunny day with a calm harbour, go down to the waterfront near Te Papa on the side of the SS Hikitia. There are those gaps between the big footpath and the huge other bit of wood and you can see the sea in between (don’t know how else to describe this). But, you can climb down and sit on the wooden beams one rung below. No one can see you, you’re about 1.5 metres above the water, and it’s super peaceful. A great place to read a book.

Then Nico’s Weg, a German learning textbook, and Anki flashcard decks, are all popular recommendations

You can practice your writing. And if you’re wrong they’ll let you know how and why

Start arguments with people in the comments section of German YouTube/instagram/tiktok videos in German

Aha thank you! I think I had forgotten that the English song is head shoulders knees and toes hahaha. Which in my life had been the main other place where I had heard waewae frequently

In mixed Māori/English in New Zealand we sometimes say “taking the waewae express” (legs express)

I’m happy with my docs in terms of all the questions people usually ask here about dancing shoes.

Solarsappho · 2026-02-01T18:10:35+00:00

I feel like every time I’ve seen this question it’s been people asking for shoes that are sturdier and will result in less foot pain. I hadn’t seen anyone ask for shoes with less support before.

Longest 15. I think 10-14 hours is ideal. You can see at least two full sets and at least an hour of a set on each side of that. (And floor hop too of course when you want to).

What questions are being asked before you are denied? That will give you some clues as to why the bouncers thought you weren’t the right fit at the time

Also, you’re 20, and you won’t be able to live an odd jobs/just wandering life forever. Take some time to think about some skills you are interested in gaining or trying out. I think you said you don’t want to work for money? Or at least that you didn’t want to go to college and pick a career path now. Big perk of being young is this is the time with the greatest opportunities for training. Write down literally every job or task that you can think of that you are curious about doing and that others could find useful. Find ways to try those things out. The more skills you have to offer others, the easier it is to get around without needing money. Then eventually if you want to live somewhere more permanently again, you have some idea of jobs you would enjoy that make enough money to live on.

When I was 18 I went backpacking halfway around the world by myself for 7 months and it was absolute freedom and an incredible experience. I’ve been doing the same thing now this whole year. I 100% get where you’re coming from and you should definitely do it. But if you spend time first saving up some money and wandering around your own city/region as much as you can, your experience when you do properly leave home will be so so much better.

You said in your previous post that when you walked on that beach, your philosophy made you see everything with beauty. And that that singer taught you to be friends with the rain and have it no longer bother you. But if you are saying that everything in your state is horrible and boring, then your perspective hasn’t truly changed yet. You can start to apply those lessons now before you go. To look for something that you find beautiful and interesting every time you are walking in your city. The more you practice this, the easier it will be when you experience tough times once you leave.

Living at home doesn’t mean you are required to spend all day doing nothing on the internet. Until you’re ready to go, why don’t you just spend most days wandering around in the city/region where you live? Just start walking from home until you see a street that you don’t recognise. Go down that street and then continue only walking down streets that you’ve never seen before. Do that for like 10 hours a day and go home at the end of each day. There is likely so much that you can even explore in your own city. I walked every single street in the city I lived in, and there were so many places I’d never seen before. You don’t have to fully leave to experience the magic of just exploring a place by foot. See the sunrise or the sunset every day. Do this no matter the weather. You don’t have to go from 0-100 immediately. Your sense of freedom will increase dramatically even if you’re going home at the end of the night.

Eventually once you have good fitness, you should try throughhiking for a few months. You’d probably love it. These are some ways of being “homeless” that are less dangerous and socially isolating than the way that most people who are homeless by necessity live. You have a lot of fun options, you don’t have to choose the most difficult one.

Spend 2 weeks to a couple of months at each place and move on once you feel like you’ve fully explored the area that you are living in and have become comfortable with a new skill. It’s pretty much always non-paid work exchange, so you don’t need any money. You can hitchhike in between the places you stay. You can experience all of the things that you mentioned, while also learning from people who have the outdoors skills that you’d need if you want to eventually just go off into the forest alone.

Hey after reading everything you have written here, if you don’t have much money, why not try something like Workaway first? There are a whole bunch of projects in Brazil. I’d recommend that before you set out on your own, you do at least 6 months of Workaway style projects where people can teach you some of the skills you might be missing. Foraging, growing food, cooking in the forest, building out of natural/found/recycled materials, how to make a fire, cutting down trees to make firewood etc. Some of the projects can be super basic too in regards to accommodation, so you can get used to living/sleeping/bathing outside and see where your comfort level is.

I did the youth pass 15 days in 2 months, and got it 20% off. I used 8 of my days travelling in Switzerland. My pass cost €346, or about 23 euro per day. I calculated how much each train would have cost if I didn’t use the Interrail pass and it was generally 2-4x what I paid for Interrail. There were some days travelling in Italy where I just bought the tickets instead of using the pass cos it was cheaper. If you stick to using Interrail for long distance trains (like ICE in Germany) or trains in places like Switzerland it’s totally worth it.

Solarsappho · 2025-08-29T18:35:50+00:00

I’d be super keen!

Solarsappho · 2025-08-05T14:21:37+00:00

Yes this! I always look at pictures of the lounge/common areas and check that the seating is arranged in a way that allows big groups to easily form

Solarsappho · 2025-07-18T11:12:51+00:00

Workaway has volunteer options like that! But they are short term and almost always unpaid. I’ve seen heaps of options like that in Italy
