A little bit off-topic, but why were you walking so much? And where did you find so much energy to do so (I presume you would probably need to eat a lot (much more than 2,000 calories) to be able to walk so many miles)?

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.

What was your mindset like during that time period? It sounds almost adventurous, the way you wrote your post.

What and how much did you eat a day?
