Nada, habia escrito una parafada de la ostia .. pero esta conversacion no pinta nada en internet. Que tu lo ves desde estados unidos .. parece que hace tiempo que no vives aki - o eres demasiado joven. Pero la cosa esta muy txunga y no va a buen puerto. Y aparte .. yo de politica no hablo en...

Seconding this.

I don't agree. Spain has always leaned to the right wing, apart from a very select few - Euskal Herria, Cataluña, Asturias and Andalucia which are on a different level. Galicia has always been fascist .. Always - hence why Fraga has been in power for sooooo many years - So their political...

Si, muchos si hablan 'spanglish' aunque tambien hay unos cuantos que dominan el idioma. Yo ahora mismo estoy de paso en Bilbao - El Pais Vasco. Pero pronto me voy de aki ... es hora de hacer millas en la carretera otra vez!! Si, si! la cabeza solo da vueltas la cabrona!!

mwahaha . Se oye ve mucho hispano hablante aqui! esta de puta madre, aunque yo soy del otro lado del charco. Beinvenido de todas formas. P.d - no pienses y lanzate a la carretera!! :D

Haha! if you get to hell first - remind Hendrix to leave me seconds on the pipe :D

Tight! - Biggie as always though! Have some more raw east coast!

How about some West Coast?

Hell Yes!

Oh yeah, definitely. Squats are being pursued by the coppers big time now. They took the law away that if the place was unsecured and a lock was placed on the front door - it was legally acceptable to squat. At least that was the last change I heard in England. Spain's changing too...

Not much Grime in here ... let's put Babylon back on the map! Well and a Birmingham lad - who deserves to be in with them.

Last one ...

I agree with most of what you say, apart from that. London has a shite loads of squats... like seriously stupid amount of them!!!! Very little coke comes through Morocco. Maybe 10/15 years ago ... but still, not much. It all comes into Europe through Spain ;)

Oh yes, definitely. Homework is a must! Same as trying to cross Tajikistan from Iran - there's only one place from where they issue you a four day transit visa. When it comes to South America I don't have an issue as I hold a Spanish passport - thing is getting there (working on that though)...

Yeah true, but there's ways round that. If you have no money, short on food and you need medical assistance - The Red Cross springs to mind - they don't charge you :D I mean I'm comfortable with saying that I think vagabonding around the world is possible apart from the visas. Everything else...

That would defy the purpose. I'm talking in the sense of long term/long distance travel - not to get sent back.

oh wow ... that visa restriction! I had no idea how many countries I don't need a visa for. I guess the true definition of vagabonding can only be applied when within a non-visa requiring country. Because if you have cash stashed away for emergencies. At least for me - it defies the point of...

Also some people - if they don't really walk much, they have no idea how to get there on foot or by bike. I find this quite a lot - unfortunately. There is a plus side from bad directions though; sometimes you find some really cool places thanks to them.

I read around the web - how long distant travelers with empty or near empty pockets gradually make their way around the globe. This fills me with a very healthy envy but sparks my travel button at full throttle. my curiosity though has always been how the hell do they manage to scrape together...

Most of their songs refer to the lack of knowledge and stupidity within people. How their ignorance and attachment to comfort is creating a society full of hypocrites with no back-bone, ideals, intelligence or interest... Then to get the fuck off the sofa, of wherever it is these people lay to...

I don't agree what you say about Kerouac but I do agree with what you say here. (well partially in some way but still, I more agree than disagree.) I travel like this for the same reasons - to get away to not be noticed. If hitching-vagabonding-cycling [...] and all the other sub categories...

I refound this group again, after many years and thought I'd put it here. It might mainly be directed at the spanish speaking people on here ... as the lyrics are amazing. But still ... this is a band from Gasteiz that brought out only one album and the for unknown reasons split up. It doesn't...

As claymation said you need a passport and you also need a visa. Ukranie isn't included when people from the states come over to Europe. Apart from that ... No idea .. check out their webpage and see what they say. K.m

Go! go! go!! I'm no where near you - but still ... get you're pack and walk away! That's my two cents :) K.m

Cycling on a main road in Portugal, I was happily peddling minding my own buisness - suddenly a lorry hits his horn, which is fine as they normally do so to let me know there coming. He hit his horn a couple more times, I looked over my shoulder and see two lorries bombing it down the road -...

I get the agoraphobia at times for no particular reason. Even though as ped said above - I also think it's anxiety .. as if you just let it flow .. it passes. K.m

I got stopped the other day by spanish cops. I played the fool and acted as if I didn't speak the language .. anyway .. after getting slammed up against the car (for no reason) and having my details run through (false of course) the cop turned around and said - "fuck you" haha - fucking...

A bunch of filters and a couple boxes of matches.

Anima Exhalare by Eths

Yup, no problems. Personally done so and currently doing so - know people who are also currently living like this. No problem what so ever. Just be yourself and keep doing what you do :) Enjoy! :) Yes there is. K.m

Yes that does mate. Thanks very much - I was just basically looking for some optimism - I mean I was raised in Kent and spent three years in Liverpool very recently - so the term pikey/chavvy boi is just another day in the town. But I get what you mean. Either way you refreshed my head and...

I say it's all a load of bullshit to cause hate, fear and give the world governments control. No to borders is my opinion!

As long as it has two wheels a frame, saddle, handlebars, brakes and a chain - the rest is secondary. And no I'm not being sarcastic. K.m

I just use a normal chain lock - mostly at night. I tend to not tie my bike up when I have to go into places. From nearly five months on it - I've been robbed from once. At night - i make sure that the ties from my tent run through the frame and spokes of ma bike, then if someone tries to steal...

I looked into this some time ago and came to the same conclusion you guys came too ... It's fucking expensive for the lack of everything there is. I found out a cheapish way to get from Europe to North/South America (and vice-versa) with the re-positioning ferries. When the low season hit's...

I walked 25km the other day. I'm a vagabond-cyclist .. but after getting really stoned and walking .. for no reason (I used to walk a lot before travelling full time) I came up with the need to instead of cycling .. walking. Maybe, I will pursue this in the future. Met a lot of people who walk...

Welcome! :) I do have one question. Even though I was raised in England - I've been cruising around Europe for the last four and a half months on my bike. Obivouly there came a time when $$$ was non existent (not a problem here as it's not the first time I found myself in this situation) My...

I try to promote world peace and non violence, but in an indirect manner, I don't like to be directly associated to any group of people/beliefs or movement (at least I have still not found one whom I will openly state I belong too) My way of promoting peace and non violence. Is by the way I...

Oh in that case, if you know back roads - sweet!! hehe, you have a point, it's all nice and hilly. I highly recommend the mountain ... took me forever to peak it, but the view is just truly superb! and you have 25km downhill once you peak ;) Yes, my bad, the N125 - my map's all drawn on and...

In all honesty, there's very little of Portugal's coast where you actually get to cycle directly by the sea. Most of the time, you'll be cycling on roads 5km inland. Yeah, went well for me. I'll touch wood so it keeps going well xD Just so you know for you're return trip. At Covilhâ where...

I think that's plenty of time!! what you thinking - Down the coast right to El Algarve and across into Spain or cutting down directly from Porto? So you can calculate more or less. I managed 1'400km in 20 days, with no previous cycling experience on more or less okay grounds. 17 days to do 600km...

Do you mean ... riding with the pack on you're back? If so ... I really wouldn't recommend it. 2'500km I did like this, due to my stubbornness - but I finally had to give in, the constant pain in my neck, back and shoulders was excruciating. K.m

That's too much weight on you're back wheel - just in case you didn't know. I'm currently on a brief parenthesis of my trip. Just come back round after doing the North of Spain and the whole of Portugal - three and a half months more or less. Spent nearly two months with no tools, only a...

a word.

Hitching works just fine. I tend to not do it - unless I have a good reason, as wehaavethemap said the whole point is cycling. But it's so easy you'd be surprised. It was just advise. I started off without a culotte. But experience will show you what you need and don't need :)

Yup, six months ago I jumped on a bike and rode across France in 20 days, now Portugal and the North of Spain can be added to my map collection. One word of advice that I would give would be get a cycling culotte!!

i use a Trangia 27 - 4 UL. probably the best piece of equipment I own.
