I'm fed up with people. People cause heart ache and pain. I will become a hippie and live off the earth. Any tips?

Do you know how to play a guitar? Do you own one? You're going to have to do something to collect change, people don't usually give change to people asking it these days....

"Hippies" don't exist anymore. You can become a naturalist or what's now called "Neo-Hippie." It's pretty much the same thing, but you're allowed alternatives to drug use to reach higher consiousness (yoga, meditation). You can still be eco-friendly by using modern technology. Start a garden to bring natural foods into your diet & start a compost heap--there are several internet sites on how to start one, just google it. Get a hybrid car or ride a bike.
It's not realistic to escape people, because they will find you whether you want them to or not. Check out some clubs or gatherings of people with the same ideals (find them online). Travel to some place where indigenous people live and see if you can live amongst them & learn how to live on your own.

Go to the Santa Cruz Mountains of central California and rent a small apartment or cabin. Hang out at the Brewing Company, buy yourself some dye-tied tee shirts, and grow some marijuana in a remote corner somewhere. Develop an art, eat all natural foods, recycle everything you can, carry a canvas sack when you go shopping. Display your goods at the Art and Wine Festival on Memorial Day weekend.
And tell everyone I miss them. I left there in February.

The best way to become a hippie is to be born in the 1940's, or 1950's. I think now they are just called nature lovers. Buy you a small lot of land in the woods and build you a cabin. When you get it finished, call me because that's what I am wanting to do also,,,good luck.

Don't bathe. Read "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. You may have a change of mind.

you're going to need a trust fund to do this right.
but really, the true hippies were very people oriented, anti-capitalist.
