This reminds me of a video I watch recently of a comfortably off guy who decided to try and do a long-distance cycle with just £100.

He could afford not to rely on others, but instead he let people buy him food, give him a bed, etc.

This didn't sit well with me. If you can pay your own way, but choose to instead let others pay for you, you're just sponging off people.
