Read up on Evan Ratliff's project:

He was found on ~day 25, even though he used some pretty high-level tactics to try to remain anonymous. If no one's specifically looking for you, these might work. However, the less on that I took away was that if someone's incentivized enough to find you, you will be found eventually. No matter what. He's done some talks regarding the project; they're entertaining, and may be of interest to you.

Well, I mean he also dropped hints about his location on Twitter and Facebook during the project. Anyone looking for anonymity would stay away from those.
