This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What does hiking and traveling even mean? I'm nomadic and spend most of my time hiking. The only people doing the same are retired 60+. I never see anyone my age on trails, camping, being nomadic. I've literally never met someone my age or younger who's a functioning tramp. In the last year I've only met one couple in a schoolie who were <50.
Hiking means going for a walk in a park after work, or spending a day, well, hiking in the woods on the weekend.
Is your expectation that hiking means only people that don't have to spend most of their time working and can wander the earth instead?
Well I suppose for most people hiking is a thing they do a week or two out of the year, or maybe they go on short hikes where they don't even need to camp.
Full-time is rare. But as far as I know, the stereotypical backpacking locations are still full of unwashed backpackers
where do you live?
I see lots of the nomadic digital natives went i am hiking and traveling. but I'm rich and so are they and we go to rich people places.
people like that don't hang out in poor people places. they go from trendy brand name location to trendy brand name location.
