Dragon007 Lost but trying Posts: 1509 Reg: Dec 17, 2011 London 20,590	06/11/13 10:43 AM (12 years ago) Just read the article, the guy is bonkers, but I get it. It takes courage to take a step like that, but as someone who lives in London, I couldn't imagine making myself homeless, especially on the streets of London, no piece, looking over my shoulder and breathing in loads of car fumes. Good luck to the guy! Comments Just read the article, the guy is bonkers, but I get it.

I agree, seems bonkers (I grew up in UK too), but I get what he means. Sometimes, you need to quit everything else to focus on what matters most to you. We all have limited time on this planet, and I don't think anyone wants to be on their deathbed regretting not doing something they really wanted to do. London is not exactly the place for scenic country views, or really the country, since everything is so regulated. But, Canada and the USA have some great outdoor spots where you can lose yourself for months or years, as long as you can get by with the bare necessities :-) Hey, at least he has a car, in case he needs to make a hasty getaway from an angry bear in the woods :-) LOL Comments @Dragon7.
