I'm about to experience it.
My apartment contract ends on 15th July (today is 14th July), from 16th to the end of July I haven't found any place yet... it is difficult to find an apartment available for only half month's rent...
and also deep inside I feel a bit resistant to finding an apartment, first of all I don't want to pay any more, second, the idea of homelessness seems quite appealing.
There are quite a lot of fountains scattered on the island of Venice, I can wash my faces, drink, brush teeth, all done in public, problems are, I need internet, I need to teach class online, and where should I sleep at night? I've bought a sleepingbag, ready for the worst, but still, finding a peaceful and safe spot out door isn't easy. First of all I'll deposit all my valuable belongings at my friends' home. Then I'm free to sleep wherever I like. What about mosquitoes and other insects who are active at night? Probably I'm gonna keep a pair of earphones in my ear all night to prevent anything crawling into my brain.
Another solution, go sleep at friends' by turn, 3 days at this guy's home, 3 days that girl's place, and there will be basic supplies like water.
Oh right, if I really sleep on street, where do I cook my meal? How am I supposed to eat? Do I eat only ready food from supermarket? So many puzzles about being homeless. Tell you what, it is miserable yet so exciting.
Let's see, 16th July morning I'll move out, onto the street.
turned out I didn't use the sleepingbag, it ws just too hot in Venice
