The Hatchback Life
The idea of living and camping out of a car is nothing new. Ever since the advent of the interstate highway in the 20th century, traveling long distances by car in the United States has become a common experience. Families go on summer road to faraway places; vagabonds sleep in the back seats of their vehicles in between stops; and the ability to live a life on the road has become a part of the American Experience: freedom to move around on your terms, and on your schedule.

How I Moved to a Big City by Myself With Less Than $900
It was the summer of 2017. I had just graduated high school. I was at a job I hated and had no idea what I wanted to pursue career wise. Everyone expected me to go to college, but I knew without a clear career goal I would end up like a lot of my friends who gathered up unbearable student loan debt with a degree in a field they couldn’t find a job for. All I knew was that I didn’t want to lose my passion. I wanted to be in a place that allowed my creativity to thrive and flow but equally allowed me to grow and change. I fondly recalled my few summers as a child spent in Chicago. The lakeshore days, the beautiful city skyline, the incredible food, and the sense of mystery like something wonderful around the corner constantly waiting to be discovered. I daydreamed about picking up and leaving to start my life in a big city. Little did I know, it would all soon become a reality. I moved to Chicago with roughly $900 and just my clothing. This is how I did it.

5 Tips When Moving On Little Money
When I first started travelling in 2016, I packed way too much stuff. I was 17 going on 18, and was terrified I would be "missing something." Boy, was that a mistake. More than half of what I packed I didn't wear for the six months I spent in a little town called Pai. When July of 2016 came around and I went home, all the cute jumpers and shirts I "loved" to wear or shoes I spent far too much money on got thrown back into the closet, never to be touched again. I don't blame myself though, I was only 17, and still with my parents.
