oh what a wonderful post... i spent 10 years as a hippie wanderer, oh the joy. you have a hippie family/community and we all live day to day together, we all would practice street art, tarot readings, healings, music, dance etc. make our change buy some food to eat and lay under the sky together. love is just the best feeling. if you find interest in this it is a good place to start by getting involved in that community, do not just leave your home, it takes time to become part of a hippie community, and yes you most of the time need a skill to contribute to daily survival, i am still part of a very large hippie community and we all earn our daily money and share everything, now i have a shop i run independently and i pay rent to live in a home, not permanent or ideal for me , i plan to wander again in the near future. im not sure if what i wrote makes any sense, i speak much better in person hehe safe travels my friend

thanks for taking time to elaborate so much !! yes its all i want basic necessities and pure love i dont want extra money :P i think it'll be years before i can pack my bags :P

hope u have a wonderful time where ever ur heart takes youuuuuu

hmmmmm yes thats true the place is almost destroyed only a few hidden beaches are still pretty but they'll be gone soon.. did u spend years wandering in other places ?? yes safety is so important.. i will hold this dream close to my heart where ever i go and then im sure i'll find my people thank you so much for ur advice lots of love to you

This kinda made me sad. My big dream in life was to live it out in Goa. It was a beautiful fishing village on the coast. Now Goa is nothing but sky scrapers and condos, the true beauty has been destroyed. Goa makes me cry now. To answer your question....the ability to do those things lies in community. To be very honest....I am a female too....but there is physical harm that can happen. To be able to do those things....you need a small community to protect yourself. Find and friend people living the life that you want to live. Each of us have skills. You can be an artist (but you don't have to be) or work part time in a local bar or grocery to make money to survive. All you really need is a tent,suppliesand street smarts. Don't try to be like someone else because you are so beautiful as you are. Be open to new experience. But always be safe...

hi kimberly i hope u will too !! peace and love to you and ur family

I'll be interested in other replies too. I have a wandering spirit, but I also have ahusband and a child and a house and all of that is a lot for us to leave at this point in our lives. I was married young (at 20) and I wouldn't change it, but I've never been able to see the world like I dream of .
Hopefully in my future.
I hope you find happiness on your quest <3

so im 19..i belong to this middle-class family,, i live in a crrrroowwwded ass place in india called mumbai, n like most other places, as u're growing up its all drilled into ur head - study study study, get a job, get a family, get a better job, blah blah blah..

and in spite of the fact that so many people perhaps realize that they dont wanna be part of this.."system" or what ever its called..we kids just have to eventually become victims of this monster cuz soon it becomes a matter of survival for some of us.. will we be able to own a house ? feed our stomach ? i ws almost getting caught up into that phase of my life..

i've always been timid, a dreamer, creative in my own little space, asking stupid questions n then get lost in my own world of thought..i smile at plants n trees.. i love looking into the eyes of a stranger and feeling a weird sense of familiarity - all of these qualify me as a weirdo to people..

in november i visited goa n it ws the first time i saw people from other countries and people from othr parts of my own country.. in matted hair, dancing, being one.. n i spoke to a few and they told me that they travel where ever they want and that the whole world is their home n for the first time in my entire life i ws sure of the fact that its what i want to do..
when they dance they dance like there is nothing to worry about, i saw people living on random beaches n they said they'd been doing it for years..

my question is, how do u do that ? did u spend years earning the money and save up till u could travel everywhere ??

what kinda jobs do u take up ?? have u mastered skills so that u can find tiny jobs where ever u go n then live freely till u need to work again ?? has any one lived in monasteries ? where do u go back to ??

if i decided i want to be a healer and learn skills like stitching or decide to paint psychedelic stuff for rave parties is there any advice u can give me about how i can work towards this dream ? are there countries that have communities of such people ??

i have seen nothing of the world outside and i dont know who to ask..

i think it looks great ! my hair looks crappy to other people as well but gotta embrace this lovely phase of messiness and every day u're only getting closer and closer to more mature dreadlocks :D

oh im so sorry !! my love goes out to ur friend.. hope he finds some help.. peace <3

u've come so far! they look unique and beautiful yeah not the best phase but ur journey'll perhaps start going uphill sooner than u expect to..

if u cut them, then u'll probably spend a lotta time wondering what if u'd have been just a lil more patient it woulda turned out just fine..

i cut my first set of dreads n i regretted it cuz later i figured i coulda fixed them n then i felt like shit >_<

NO dont cut them !!! :O

i think its fucked up that so many african people think dreadlocks are from africa. dreadlocks have been an important part of ancient indian culture and were also worn by buddhists.

but then who cares where they come from any way. fuck these racist jerks like him. pathetic. i pity that dude.

i've had people in india behave in a really fucked up way too when i had my first set of dreadlocks calling me jamaican n making fun of me but they're plain ignorant and so stupid.

i guess dreadlocks are something people for most of the time are always gonna have some kinda preconceived notions attached to n no matter what there's always some one or the other judging dreadheads.
