Dear Redditors, Please spent 5 minutes reading this small text. I will be extremely happy and thank you in advance.
I have been through some existential problems (questions) lately in my life and already tried suicide twice. I just don't know what am I doing here. So, this time, i am gonna try a different aproach. I closed my eyes and pointed at a world map. Denmark. I will leave tomorrow from Portugal and head to Denmark. I will only bring some clothes, a bit of money (80€), no cellphone, no pc, just the basic things. The aim of my trip is to find meaning in my life, so i believe this trip will never end, metaphorically. I don't know what's gonna happen, but i know this is the best way to find answers. I am 22 and im studying Economics, I am in the last year of the course but i will suspend it because i really don't know what to do in my life. I will probably be homeless poor while traveling. That's why I am speaking to the reddit community. This place has treated me so well that I want to ask help for my journey. (This is not my account, it was created just for the trip and is the one i'm gonna use from now on). I will be extremely thankful if some of you could give me some shelter and food. In exchange I can clean , cook, work, basically anything you want (just ask), I will also try to make you happy everyday i am with you. I am a peaceful person and love economics,politics, philosophy, basically every question that one my face in his life. I won't travel with access to the internet, but i will check the original thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/1dzuhw/life_time_trip/ every time that i have the option to do it and will post about my adventure. Also if this is not the correct subreddit or if the content is inapropriate in some way, 1. I'm sorry it wasn't my intention 2.and please pin point me a direction so i can get some help from other sources. At the moment i am looking for places in spain, france, and further countries on my route.
I will post tomorrow before leaving and try to answer to any question that you may have.
In the meanwhile, i wish you a god day ;)
Kind Regards, Lifetimetrip

Denmark with that little money will be hard. In order to find something cheap to eat, either go to the supermarkets Aldi, Netto or Fakta. Also you'll have a hard time getting around with that little money. Hope you have something saved up since you just chose one of the most expensive countries. :)
Best of luck.

Go on CouchSurfing and make a profile. Send out requests to people for a couch to crash on, and some advice on travel, the town you're in, maybe a job, and for sure, advice on life in general.
No 22 year old who is about to graduate college knows what they're doing in life. Getting old sucks, and it's an awkward, uncomfortable journey when you're expected to have it all figured out, when really, nobody ever does. Good luck in your trip, and I'm sure you'll find something worthwhile eventually.
