I'd made myself homeless to move on from a place I didn't want to be.
I didn't really see the point in staying in a new place I didn't want to be (sitting on a street).
I chose to walk cities, talk to people, hitchhike around the UK, and generally see if I could find a life and place I did want.
It also means I avoided getting into a rhythm of hostels, soup kitchens, and charity.
I know I was homeless and sleeping rough, but at the time I didn't view it like that. At the time I just viewed myself as a nomad, wandering around with a backpack containing some library books for company.
