I have been living homeless for the last few months, here are some things I have learned:
- Every time I have gone up to a house, knocked on the door and asked to fill up a water bottle, people have always said yes
- There is a big difference in people’s minds between “travellers” and “homeless”. If you say you are travelling/exploring you will be treated a lot nicer than if you say you are homeless.
- You can ask big shops or restaurants if they have any spare/nearly out of date food and they may give you some. The worst they have said is no.
- People care a lot less than I thought. I have been cleaning my boots in a canal and no one even looked.
