You arrive in the New World.  Although your country’s explorer got to the New World late,   you heard there is money to be made in this vast wilderness.  Furs and fish can provide money to survive and a freedom to wander.  You trade with and learn from the Native population.  You may even marry a native girl.  In fact, you dress and live as the natives do often living with a group before wandering on.  You spend your days hunting and fishing to provide for your family.
