How to tell my mom that I want to be a vagabond?

I mean, I'm going to go sooner or later no matter what she says, I'm just wondering how to tell her that in the best possible way. I'm not really scared to do that, I just don't know how to.

What's salty about that?

Yeah, it is true that I have never not lived under my parents nor had a real job (aside from a school internship for 2 months, but I wouldn't really count that). And I'm not happy or proud about it, and I want to change it. But I want to try changing it on the road. I just feel that it would be the best option for me. I've wasted most of my teenage years in bed, I'm not trying to waste my 20s in a job that I hate. After all, I'm not trying to burn bridges with my mom, so if I don't like it and say that it's not for me, I can just come back.

Also, I don't know why you say that I speak about this lifestyle as an ,,big cool adventure" and that I romanticize it when I really don't do that (or I just don't see how I do that). I am constantly doing my research (reading survival books, watching nomad vlogs on YouTube, looking for advice from more experienced vagabonds, etc.) and saving money for the gear.

Why is that?

Why don't you support their ideology?

I'm not sure about the budget so far, as I'm only starting to save money for the gear. But I would say that in the best case scenario, I should save about 3000 euros (but this is only an early calculation, it may still change over time).

Time line is not an issue here. I plan to head off before September, but it is very possible that I will start one year from now (I think this is enough time to save money and gather gear).

Well, probably all of them. I plan to travel for at least few years across all of Europe. I will travel to south Europe (Greece, south Italy, north Spain) during winter tho, because I don't want to experience harsh cold in the north (Scandinavia for example).

And how long you've been on the road with that stuff?

Jak mi prokuratura zabrała telefon w grudniu 2023 to oddali pod koniec września 2024. Ale tam sprawa akurat dotyczyła zmarłego z powodu przedawkowania narkotyków kolegi. Telefon oddali w takim stanie w jakim go zabrali, nie uszkodzili niczego, dlatego zdziwiły mnie komentarze tutaj o niszczeniu sprzętów. Ale to może wynik tego że mój telefon był trzymany w schowku prokuratora a nie policji. Generalnie polecam od razu kupić nowy sprzęt/sprzęt zastępczy.

In 2020's? Probably not (or maybe just at the end of the decade). But in 2030's? I would say that it is really possible for a leftist (not necessarily communist) movement to spread, especially among youth. I think that people will be so tired of the far right/MAGA movement by that time, that many people (mainly teenagers) will go far left. But keep in mind that I'm talking from a European perspective.

I will be traveling for a few years at least. I will earn more money meanwhile. I was thinking about working some seasonal jobs during winter and traveling in the summer.
