I have a constant fantasy of quitting my boring mediocre job, and just living like a vagrant and bumming across the country. I want to just travel from place to place taking the bus, sleeping in cheap Airbnbs and hotels. Going to the beach and daydrinking. Letting my curiosity run wild and exploring everywhere I feel called to. I hate the monotony of life.

Understandable fantasy but it's not going to be nearly as romantic as you think and mostly been a pain in the ass figuring out transportation, where to get food to eat and where to sleep without being harassed. The whole vagabond is a old male escapism fantasy that movies, television and boomer's fake war stories that have been sold to us same as everything else. I moved across the country in my mid 20s and it's just a money logistics thing you'll get sick of pretty quickly. Real life isn't a adventure like scriptwe fictional stories every major religion and philosophy says life is suffering for a reason.

Yeah I do recognize that a lot of it idealism. Still, the urge is so strong its hard to get invested in my actual life sometimes. I dont care about any of the things that were sold to us anymore. Getting a great job, buying the big house, starting the family - I just dont feel it deep inside.
Im almost 30 now and I feel very lost. I really just want to find visually striking places, document my journey, and feel a sense of ultimate youth and freedom. Im not under an illusion that it be the adventure of a lifetime or that id have all these unbelievable stories, but im at the point in life where reality feels like a sandbox and im out of objectives. The natural urge is to just dick around and see whats out there.

I just go from one mediocre job to the next, trying to find escape at work
I can find it through my phone, through taking weed edibles secretly at work, or something else

Here's the problem with that bud. The monotony doesn't stop as soon as you cross an arbitrary line. So many tards on here who think that if only they moved from this random patch of dirt to this other random patch of dirt that their lives will stop sucking spoiler alert it won't. The fact that your life sucks isn't the fault of whatever state or country you live in you're just attributing YOUR shittyness to that

Its not really the location necessarily its the mindset and restrictions we put on ourselves
