What happens

Craigslist Joe is a 2012 documentary film that follows Joseph Garner for a month of travel across the United States, solely supporting himself by contacting people on the website Craigslist. He spent the month without using any form of currency and without contacting people he already knew, relying on Craigslist users' "kindness and generosity". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
