Running away from home and living on your own terms seems like the perfect dream, but obviously thats not the reality.

Im jealous of all those videos where people just travel all the time, living on a travel van, and get to experience all the freedom that comes with it. Even I question if it's possible to just run away and live in a peaceful wilderness with a tent and other survival stuff like you'd see in those movies, however realistically speaking, u could either starve to death, die, or do unspeakable things just to get by and live a life thats even worse than the one u abandoned when running away.

So, for those who have ran away from home, what was it like? Are u still far away from home? Did u succeed? and how/what did u do/bring to succeed?

I'd like to hear everyones stories, and if you guys would personally recommend others to do the same? (of course, im aware that everyone has different experiences and opinions towards this)

Huir de casa y vivir bajo tus propios términos parece el sueño perfecto, pero obviamente esa no es la realidad.

Tengo envidia de todos esos vídeos en los que la gente viaja todo el tiempo, vive en una furgoneta y experimenta toda la libertad que eso conlleva. Incluso yo me pregunto si es posible escaparse y vivir en un lugar tranquilo y salvaje con una tienda de campaña y otros elementos de supervivencia como los que se ven en esas películas, aunque, hablando de forma realista, uno podría morir de hambre, morirse o hacer cosas indescriptibles solo para sobrevivir y vivir una vida que es incluso peor que la que abandonó al escapar.

Entonces, para aquellos que se escaparon de casa, ¿cómo fue? ¿Siguen estando lejos de casa? ¿Tuvieron éxito? ¿Y cómo/qué hicieron/trajeron para tener éxito?

Me gustaría escuchar las historias de todos y si ustedes personalmente recomendarían a otros que hagan lo mismo (por supuesto, soy consciente de que cada uno tiene diferentes experiencias y opiniones al respecto).
Me escapé de casa el 7 de mayo de 2016, con una gran mochila y sin apenas dinero en la cartera. Me fui a Madrid. Los primeros días fueron muy intensos y emocionantes. Me sentía viva y feliz. Conseguí encontrar una habitación libre, gracias a una familia filipina que me acogió en su casa para evitar que durmiera en la calle. Resulta que gracias a ellos, conseguí encontrar un trabajo en apenas unos días y les di casi todo mi sueldo en agradecimiento. Fueron los momentos más felices de mi vida porque en esa casa conocí a la mujer de mis sueños, la única mujer que me ha amado con locura, y fuimos 100% compatibles. Pasé el mejor año de mi vida con ella, viviendo juntos en una habitación de esa misma casa, hasta que se acabó mi contrato de trabajo y me quedé sin un céntimo. La mujer de mis sueños tenía hijos de su anterior pareja y cuando vi que empezaba a ser una carga económica para ella le dije que no quería causarle problemas (ella incluso me pagó el bono de transporte porque perdí mi primer coche por falta de dinero). No quería seguir siendo una carga económica, así que tomé el autobús de vuelta a casa de mis padres, a 500 km de ella. Ella estuvo muchos meses llamándome suplicando que volviera con ella, pero yo no quería causarle problemas. Fue la peor decisión de mi vida, porque la perdí para siempre, ahora tiene otro novio y ha tenido un hijo con él, lo sé porque me llama por teléfono cada pocos días cuando sale del trabajo, me llama a escondidas de su novio, ayer por ejemplo me llamó durante más de una hora, seguimos riéndonos mucho cuando hablamos por teléfono, y ojalá algún día el destino haga que pueda volver con ella. Cuando volví a casa de mis padres conseguí recuperar mi antiguo trabajo de recepcionista de hotel, me compré un coche nuevo, fui a verla a Madrid en 2 ocasiones y todo fue mejorando hasta que en 2020 lo perdí absolutamente todo, y desde entonces estoy aislado en un pueblo de la sierra, viviendo con unos padres que me odian y me insultan cada día, sin ingresos, sin coche, sin amigos, sin bicicleta, sin la mujer de mis sueños, nada… lo único que me queda es mi sueño de ir a Japón, y las llamadas que me hace de vez en cuando que siempre me hacen sonreír. No creo que consiga cambiar de vida, pero nunca dejaré de luchar, porque quizá algún día me escape de aquí a otra vida, en otro sitio, o quién sabe si algún día vuelva con ella. La muerte llegará algún día, así que puedo esperar unos años a ver si pasa algo que cambie la situación de mierda que tengo ahora.
Escapar de casa en ese momento fue la mejor decisión de mi vida, porque pude vivir el año más feliz que he tenido, y sí, tarde o temprano volveré a escapar y a intentar una nueva vida.

I ran away from home on May 7, 2016, with a big backpack and barely any money in my wallet. I went to Madrid. The first few days were very intense and exciting. I felt alive and happy. I managed to find a free room, thanks to a Filipino family who welcomed me into their home to prevent me from sleeping on the streets. It turns out that thanks to them, I managed to find a job in just a few days and I gave them almost all my salary in gratitude. They were the happiest times of my life because in that house I met the woman of my dreams, the only woman who has ever loved me madly, and we were 100% compatible. I spent the best year of my life with her, living together in a room in that same house, until my work contract ended and I was left without a penny. The woman of my dreams had children from her previous partner and when I saw that I was beginning to be a financial burden for her, I told her that I didn't want to cause her problems (she even paid for my transport voucher because I lost my first car due to lack of money). I didn't want to continue being a financial burden, so I took the bus back to my parents' house, 500 km away from her. She spent many months calling me begging me to get back with her, but I didn't want to cause her problems. It was the worst decision of my life, because I lost her forever, she now has another boyfriend and has had a child with him, I know because she calls me on the phone every few days when she leaves work, she calls me secretly from her boyfriend, yesterday for example she called me for more than an hour, we continue laughing a lot when we talk on the phone, and hopefully one day fate will make it so that I can get back with her. When I returned to my parents' house I managed to get my old job back as a hotel receptionist, I bought a new car, I went to see her in Madrid on 2 occasions and everything was improving until in 2020 I lost absolutely everything, and since then I have been isolated in a town in the mountains, living with parents who hate me and insult me every day, with no income, no car, no friends, no bicycle, no the woman of my dreams, nothing... the only thing I have left is my dream of going to Japan, and the calls she makes me from time to time that always make me smile. I don't think I'll be able to change my life, but I'll never stop fighting, because maybe one day I'll escape from here to a different life, in a different place, or who knows if I'll go back to her one day. Death will come one day, so I can wait a few years to see if something happens to change the shitty situation I have now.
Running away from home that time was the best decision of my life, because I was able to live the happiest year I've ever had, and yes, sooner or later I'll escape again and try a new life again.

The first half of this story is the kind of thing I would like to someday do. Just leave one day and start a new life somewhere new and exciting. I've thought about just driving down to the city and sleeping in my car. It sounds difficult but exciting as well. Currently I am trapped out in the middle of the woods with nowhere to go and a car that has broken down. I hope someday you can experience those rare moments of excitement and exploration again that many of us are missing in life.

You need to have confidence in yourself first, I mean before I ran away in 2016 I had already tried sleeping in a tent alone in a forest on several occasions, and the truth is that I really liked it, one night some wild boars came and I gave them some bread and they left. Another night I brought cat food to a fox that one night came close to the tent and I even managed to pet it on its snout once. My parents threw away my tent and now I don't have money to buy another one, but I will never forget those nights I spent alone in the forest.
