Tekst achterflap

Maybe this was the goal all along. With just €1706,12 in my bank account, I quit my job and left with barely any plan. It was difficult and I definitely made some mistakes but I learned a lot from them. How did I get to all of this: no house, no normal income, and living from a backpack, not knowing where I'll end up over the next few days? Even though it is a bit more common these days for a 25-year-old to be travelling, most of them still have a place they can call home or a stable income that secures them for their next month. Not me: I have no clue how much money I will have in one month and when I will need to find a job, and honestly, I don’t mind it either. It feels liberating even.
