How did you manage to get yourself out of being homeless?
If you’re comfortable sharing, was your experience with homelessness due to personal reasons, financial struggles, or something else?
How did you shower?
At your lowest point, did you ever give a stranger a hand job for $5 gas money?
I’m really curious what your routine was. Mainly meals and sleep routine, where you found places to sleep. I’ve slept/camped/road tripped out of my car for three weeks, twice over for different road trips. It is definitely fun for me but I can’t imagine a year with stove cooking and sleeping in a car every night in all seasons!
Why were you homeless?
did you meet other homeless people? What was that experience like?
I’ve roadtripped and lived out of a car for an extended amount of time and managed to shower at gyms etc but what was that like for a year?
How are you doing now?
When did you tell people, that you were homeless?
How often did you get laid?
Did you inject speedballs?
What was the hardest thing about being homeless?
What do you wish people/society would do differently, in light of this experience?
Were there any surprising moments or positive experiences during your year of homelessness?
Were you ever in danger while homeless?
Did you date while homeless?
What country are you from? Still there?
What did you do about your mail?
