[[Hitchhiking ]] without a ''specific goal destination'' can be described as '''aimless trajectory''' hitchhiking. It doesn't imply though, that this kind of hitchhiking has no goal in itself.
Question: What do you feel, after hitchhiking for a long time, not knowing where you are going, not knowing where to go back to, not having any money left, being on the road, hitch hikinghitchhiking, searching for people to share with.
What do you feel when you see the video below, and remember these times?
It's like the "warm" part of hitchhiking. What you see when you hitchhike during the day, after waiting a few hours outside in the cold, knowing that in half an hour, at the next [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]], you may wait for another few hours. It might well be that one falls asleep, or does not feel like getting off at the next petrol station, just going wherever the driver goes as to sleep a bit more and stay warm.

[[User:Dante|Dante]] co-incidentally found the video on Youtube. It is made within an art project by Dutch artist Edwin Stolk: [http://www.edwinstolk.nl/aimlesstrajectory.htm "AIMLESS TRAJECTORY", A maneuver within the enemy's field of vision].
While you’re usually aware of being under a lot of stress, you don’t always notice burnout when it happens.
== See also Money and a Home ?==* [[Psychology of hitchhiking]]* [httpexcerpted from fb threadhttps://enwww.wikipediafacebook.orgcom/wikigroups/hitchgathering/844487905564777 -Dante-Gabryell Monson- My own experience stretched 5 years, continuously. I now realize it may facilitate communication to travel totally moneyless, as it may help feeling more relaxed about the potential pressure of needing to keep up with monetary expectations from people we meet. It facilitates communication. As some other people who posted on this thread, I traveled usually with a bit of money. ( in average, 100 euros a month, over the first 3 years, then 200 euros a month in the last 2 years , although with constant uncertainty /Situationist_International Situationist International] no regular income ). Sometimes there was none at Wikipediaall. Having some money, makes certain choices possible. Not having money in a society that has dominant social contracts depending on it is very much possible, yet more often in a mode of resource usage optimization / sharing ( including hospitality and hitch hiking ). Running out of choice, getting burned out over the years, took me years to recover from. So I certainly recommend having a region to be able to return, without the stress of having to leave every few days. The difficult part for me, was feeling I needed to move on, even when I felt good with people in a certain city, but not being in a position where I can impose myself. The last one and a half years, I had a girlfriend to return to, which certainly helped. Yet, still very much in a precarious situation ( both of us , at that time ). I am now back in Brussels, slowly learning not to feel guilt in relation to money. Yet also building on alternatives. ( such as using semantic technologies for enabling new forms of engagements / interdependencies )
It is tricky to evaluate what a certain sum of money may represent, as it can depend on a situation, and on the costs within the country one may be in. Since I returned to Brussels, I did not live off more money then I did while on the road ( after paying rent ), yet I progressively built more security in the form of more geographically dense networks of friends. In effect, it is not as much the lack of money, but the lack of choice to stay in one place - that lead me to burnout after 5 years on the road.
''Based My interpretation is that it is more about social contracts / relational dynamics. With money being used across a certain set of relational dynamics.What living without money promotes, is to put forward Communal Shareholding ( based on intention ? ). I find the following of interest :http://sharewikip2pfoundation.orgnet/en/Aimless_trajectory''Relational_Model_Typology_-_Fiske"According to Fiske, there are four basic types of inter-subjective dynamics, valid across time and space, in his own words: "People use just four fundamental models for organizing most aspects of sociality most of the time in all cultures. These models are" :
