BROKE IN LONDON - Day 4 Sleeping On Public Transport

Morning, day four, living free

Now I told my couch surfing host last night that that would be my last night there

So right now we're really in the thick of it. This is proper survival now

I felt like it was a bit of a cop out just staying there the whole week

And I wanted to like fully immerse myself in the experience and find like somewhere else to sleep

or something else to do instead of just using the same resource every night

so tonight i have absolutely no idea where i'm gonna sleep i'm gonna get back on i can't use

couch surfing anymore so maybe get back on tinder start swiping or like do some research find other

resources that i can use to help myself ah we're almost there

all right so just straight off the bat i'm scrolling looking for um something i can use

this morning and i found this free lava coffee and then i signed up to it i looked to my right

and the coffee stand is just right here this is the beauty of research and synchronicity

So we can claim our Lavazor coffee just right here. They have a few locations around London and you have to like travel a fair bit to get to them

But happy days. So I spoke too soon

It turns out we can't redeem it over there. And we have to look for one of the locations scattered around London to redeem it

but nonetheless free coffee i can't complain right now for breakfast we're heading to a place where i

usually see on my travels so in my everyday life on the bus route i usually see this place in catford

where they have pastries outside i'm not too sure what the the incentive is or the initiative is

but we're gonna go there have a chat with them see if they've got some pastries and we'll have

up for breakfast then we'll head over to central grab our free lavas our coffee and breakfast is

served all right so i think we found something we're walking by and we saw this sign that says

please help yourself to these items. So it looks interesting. There aren't any items there but down here you'll be surprised to find some baguettes

How amazing is this? Just random resources all dotted around London. Guys so this this little

location right here is going to be added onto thehack.world and this is my mission this is the

point of the channel this whole series find all these hidden gems all these hidden locations all

around the world stick it into one place thehack.world we've just found breakfast for free

help yourself to these items i'm guessing if we came earlier all this would have been stocked up

because it looks like maybe they had some pastries here and some other things here

So there you go, free baguette, happy days. So we're going to grab this. We're going to head into Central, grab that free coffee, and breakfast is served

Thank you

so what else can you find on the website other than the latest freebies discounts and offers

well pay as you feel restaurants pay as you feel shops community fridges community events

community dinners which we're actually heading to right now it's a community fridge slash event

where they gather surplus foods and just offer it to anyone who wants it

so we're gonna head there we're gonna grab some food we're gonna add them to

the website we're gonna share with the world Bye okay so this is the old brighton community center and it open monday tuesday thursday and friday

and they've basically got rescued foods that you can come and make use of if you're in need

Now places like this is what we're adding to the website to share with the world

So I'm going to go through, I'm going to grab one or two things for lunch and then we'll get on the other day

So we've just left the community fridge. We got some pastry, we got some strawberries, we got some vegan sausage roll, we got some vegan chicken, we got some baked beans, we got some tofu

All this donated from supermarkets and stores around the UK. All their surplus given to them and then they feed it back to the community

Amazing. Community fridge where you can access surplus foods. help rescue it, help save the planet, help feed yourself

Another location, add it to the website. Click the link in the description to find out more

All right so walking by and we found this amazing place which looks like an art exhibition

but also a living space so a living space with arts exhibit exhibiting itself all around it

So this is someone's living space, but they have an abundance of art and they've decorated

the whole place with their art to exhibit it. Thank you

Alright, now I've still got some vegan chicken and some tofu which is still cold

These are from the fridge so I can't keep them in my bag the whole day

I have to find somewhere to cook it. Vegan chicken, tofu, scrambled eggs and some baked beans

That looks like lunch to me. The problem now is finding a kitchen that I can use to make my lunch

I need to do some research. Right, so I might have found something

Eggs and bread. It says, eggs and bread provides a place open to all, which allows you to cook a good basic breakfast of boiled eggs and soldiers, as well as grab yourself a hot drink

So it sounds like a space where you can use the kitchen, cook yourself a meal, grab a drink and then get on with your day

I'm so baffled. Well, let's head there and find it. What a find

but unfortunately it turns out they completely closed shut down due to covid

so now we're gonna have to find like somewhere else to cook this because if not it's gonna go bad

amazing the universe aligns so walking past and we saw this shop soul food

nourishing the body mind and spirit now we spoke to a lovely man in there and we

asked him if we could use his kitchen to cook some vegan food he goes on well

I've got a kitchen in there and we serve vegan food so happy days

Happy days The power of asking let get let get in there and make some food

it's human nature to help each other people genuinely want to help which is why i promote

the power of asking so much on this channel and i've used it on all the challenges ask

and it shall be given. Look at us, we're in someone's kitchen cooking food. Where does this ever happen

and there we have it

vegan chicken tofu eggs and beans lunch is served moment of truth

mate come and join me are you eating? can I share? yes

can you shop order? come in and get some? yes please we need to have a knife and fork oh

is that alright? yeah of course thank you very much thank you mate

thank you try this This is nice, this is what I'd have on a Sunday

And a big bunch. Thank you so much mate

Take care, yeah? Will do. Thank you, have a good one. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together

That was just amazing synchronicity. who was standing at the traffic light

and then he came out of his shop saying, like, what are you guys up to? I said, oh, I'm looking for a kitchen to cook some food

He goes, well, I've got a kitchen, and I'm vegan. I said, well, yes, please, come on in

Love it. The power of asking. Go out there and ask. That's how you get things

All right so I downloaded ClassPass earlier this week and got 20 free credits and now with the last

of my credits I found a wall climbing session just down the road from here

Bouldering. We are going bouldering for free. Happy days. All right, so we're here at Hackney Wick boulder projects

I don't know if I'm dressed for bouldering, but what can you do, right

Thank you

All right, so it's getting pretty late now and I still have no plans of where I'm going

to sleep tonight. Am I worried? Slightly. But I've got a few options

I can go to Shoreditch, grab a free drink from Drinkie and just party the night away

and wake up in the morning like a zombie, half awake, half asleep

or I can go to the London Buddhist Centre I not sure if they accommodate me but they Buddhists so that kind of an option and then otherwise it either sleeping at train stations or hospitals or maybe hostels

common area that's still open yeah we'll see what the night holds for Mr. Turbo Courage

hi guys um little update so i'm at a rooftop bar situation going on and i've made a friend

what's up yo you know the box he's from toronto and we're about to head into the bar and get some

girls I came for the girls all right so I was just gonna chill in there the whole night lady was on it

like a hawk, on it like a hawk with the attitude of it as well

She said this is a game of communion, please get the up the front for this

Update, it's 12.40 a.m. I'm in Shoreditch. Having no luck so far

So I'm going to call it a day. I'm going to head to King's Cross because I know there are 24 hour McDonald's there and I can just stay there till morning

And worst case scenario, at the station, you have those big block tables that you can just lie on until morning

Yeah, to be honest, I haven't actually like tried. And I've had a few chances, but I feel like I want to slum it out a bit

I could have gotten somewhere to stay tonight. Other than couch surfing

Like all the people I've met today and spoken to. I could have gotten places to stay

But. I just thought you know what. Part of the challenge. Let me just slum it out

Let's sleep out tonight. And freeze. And you know. Embrace the experience

Okay. It turns out the rules have changed

You can't even sit on the tables anymore not to talk or sleep in on it. I asked them how long they're going to be here

They said the whole night. But I doubt it. I don't think they're here the whole night

They'll probably be gone soon and I'll just come back and lay down

I need to lay down. in the meantime we'll head to McDonald's

we'll sit there for a bit until we get kicked out again you see this is like

the same cycle of like trying somewhere, get kicked out, try somewhere else

get kicked out, try somewhere else, get kicked out after you've done it for a few weeks or a few years

you don't even bother, you just find a nice comfy spot on the side of the road

and just have a good night's sleep things are about to get real

real quick the 24-hour mcdonald's is shut this was like the last hope worst case scenario i can sit in mcdonald's

mcdonald's is shut what i need to think carefully right now it's a big because i can't sleep on the road

It's 3 a.m

I'm on our room as the bus, night bus. And I'm just going to follow it wherever it goes, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, until morning

This bus terminates here
