I'll be dirtbagging it there pretty soon, taking the boat from Belize. Obviously I plan on hitting the bay islands but for budget reasons don't plan on staying there too long. I'd love to hear about experiences hitching, or the feasibility of stealth camping (done it plenty in Belize, only got...

Hey there! My father got offered a job at the international school on Grand Cayman this summer and I plan on coming along. We're planning to buy a ship of our own and sail down there since the cost of parking in the marinas is way cheaper then rent. We are more vagabondy though (especially me)...

I'm not sure if this is the right place, please let me know if there is a better place to ask this. Anyway, how strict is it crossing the Mexican border? Do they check people walking over for warrants and stuff like that? I've always been curious how people facing murder charges and shit like...

Right, so my job lets me work online. It's very expensive to live in the US, and I think there is increasing possibility (perhaps not likely but trending towards plausible) that the US is will undergo severe decline if not collapse relatively soon. Belize. It's not too expensive to live, and...

I am heading to Panama City early November, planning to tramp around for a few months. Just wondering if anyone is down there, or if there is any advice someone may have, as it will be my first time!

I'm thinking about heading south to Key West come June and from there hopping onto, hiring, stealing, buying, some form of boat to the Caribbean. I don't know much about the place (all of my travel has been in the states), other than its warm, there are beaches, and one can perhaps drink and...

Has anyone ever done any alternative travel in the Bahamas? There are a lot of really cheap flights and I was thinking about going for a week or two. I don't know if it's decent for camping, etc. or if it would just be a huge pain in the ass because everything is touristy and costs money. Is...
