Homeless?

[greenmanalishi]

Hi peeps. I am single live on my own and have no children. I have in effect no ties, so selling up everything would mean me not having an address.
I went to my bank the other day and mentioned I might be selling up and then go travelling for some time. They asked me what address I would be using. I told them I would not have one as I would be selling my home.

A postbox was mentioned and I said if I am away for very long periods I am sure as hell not coming home just to check a postbox on the chance you may have sent me something. The bank got quite shirty about this. This got me thinking about all the other problems when you are technically "homeless".

How many of you have sold everything you have including home and then become NFA (no fixed abode) and gone travelling. Did any one encounter problems such as no legal/valid address on their licence or passport. Did you have any troubles with banks saying you cant have an account without an address for them to post stuff to? What about insurance and legalities, Visas?

Most of the people I know who have gone away have had an address to come back to and one they can still use on legal documents. The three or four friends who may be able to help out are themselves moving away asap.

I seem to have spent so much time looking at the "how do I afford this" and building up equipment for the final plunge I forgot all the other everyday mundane stuff. Any answers would be appreciated.

BTW renting my house out is not an option I need to sell it to pay for the trip and a remortgage is a strict no no, been there done that never again!
