I am talking about being a poor American citizen...and FEMALE. Is it possible to just land over there and start squatting, urban camping, hitch hiking and if necessary- pan handling? With NO former experience of overseas travel. No contacts. And no family who will care if you get into some weird sh*t over there. I have heard it was easier especially for women over there to hitch and travel but what are the attitudes towards traveling..er 'homeless' people especially foreigners? (sorry I had to use the dirty H word. But that is how authorities are going to view it, or a 'vagrant' or 'transient', all really annoying and inaccurate labels.)
If anyone has tried this give me you experiences. Also take into account I am not 20 so its not cute anymore according to some societies. Its downright mysterious to many people as by now I am supposed to have had children (eww) or have a house etc. I became a traveler later in life. Tell me I want to KNOW what its like over there.
And make it NOW post Bush not before becuz Ive heard that there are some places Americans cant go due to anti-Bush sentiment.
Thanks!
