Was told an intro post helps. Im a 26 year old punk kid from philly, started traveling 5 years ago. I settled down in Pittsburgh about a year ago but my boyfriend recently passed away and im looking to travel again. Prefer freight, open to the possibility of rubber tramping. Experienced in busking (i play guitar), flying signs, jugging, spanging. Have a dog who might tag along, might stay at my mom's house. He grew up on the road but really likes house life. Im looking for a road dog, preferably another nb or female but whatever. As long as they're experienced with train hopping. I lost my ccg a while ago and don't feel comfortable bringing a greenhorn on the road. Anyway old or new drop a line and say hi.

Curious about this. As I can play guitar somewhat alright but I can't play guitar and sing. I can't sing without a guitar, and I can't even really answer simple yes or no questions while playing guitar without fumbling on the strings/frets.

Do you busk by just playing guitar? Or do you sing too?

Im Pitt bound. Got kind of fucked off in Cleveland trying to find best move to Pitt so said fuck it and started hitching. Junk trains suck sometimes. Meeting a friend there then im planning on jetting west on freight. Cool to crew up with some folks. See you if I make it before you head out. Hitching sucks in the pandemic, my perspective at least.

Welcome Aboard!!! Nice intro!

I have a close friend in the Pittsburgh area (Monroeville) I visit now and then.

Sad to hear your BF passed, now is the time to seek new travel adventures and move on. I wish you the best of luck!!!
