So there is a true feeling of passion when I mention the term to "wander". That's what I want to do... just that. And for some reason, I feel that if I plan my trip too much, I'm betraying my childhood dream... That's why I don't want it to be planned too much.
I's like to meet someone with the same dream as me...

I do think that we have the same objective. We just don't have the same methodology. You want to go without any funds and I do.
I go to countries without any itinerary of plans save a destination. Now when I was younger my plans of destination were a bit more rough where I'd stay in small huts on the beaches of Malaysia as I meandered the countryside, where the showerhead was over the toilet (which wasn't a western sit down toilet) and cost $1/day extra. Now I'd rather have a bed and a full private bathroom.
In Iceland I do specifically what you are talking about by going from small fishing village to small fishing village to see what the locals are like. The biggest difference you mention is that I plan it and you don't want to.
I like to wander as well, it's just that when I've decided that I want better than some straw in a corner of a barn to sleep on or eat something more than bread and cheese I can choose differently.
