Australia

From all places I've been, I think I've learned the most here. Last month I've lived in a tree, my hammock 25-30 feet up in the branches. I've dumpster dived; taken cold showers in the free beach bathrooms; slept on the beach; slept in parks; eaten shared food off public grills; walked barefoot around town; walked barefoot into shops; camped out; wake up, sit in the park all day reading a book or practicing hula hoop or doing absolutely nothing and just soaking in sunlight and living. I am what some people despise; I don't work, I wake up whenever I want, I sleep whenever I want, I drink, I smoke, I dance, I play, I take free food whenever I can, I'm homeless and sleep wherever conveniences me; usually a place with a beautiful view. Other people work hard, pay top dollar for vacations so they can feel just a bit of the serenity I feel all of the time.
