Hi folks. I’m making this post to announce that I’ve decided to step down as a moderator and participant on Squat the Planet. Please know that this wasn’t an easy decision to make but I’m convinced it’s the right move for me. There are a few reasons for this: 1) I’ve been on StP for six years...

So I just realized that October marked five years since I signed up for StP and wanted to get some thoughts down about it. I discovered the traveler scene when I was 17 completely accidentally. I was chilling in a park and there were a couple interesting looking people there so I asked if they...

I'm thinking about going to this little gathering if I can catch a ride from Seattle. Thought I'd post it here if anyone else was interested! https://www.cascadiaconvergence.com/ "The annual Cascadia Convergence is a space for Cascadians to come together to share, learn, connect, and...

Interesting story about some folks squatting in London! Activists and squatters have moved in to a derelict Romford pub, The Bitter End, with the aim of transforming it into an independent environmental and cultural space. In April, photographer Ed Gold spent three weeks living alongside...

Just spent a week traveling Washington and Oregon with @Geraldo. It was a great time and we both documented the journey so I thought I'd share with you folks. Seattle->Portland-->Sand Island ,OR-->Columbia City, OR-->Seattle-->Snohomish, WA-->Port Angeles, WA. I took a Boltbus down to...

An article about historical clashes between Antifas and nazis. I'd be interested to hear what folks think of the role of violence in political activism. The Long History of "Nazi Punching" Video of an assault on a white nationalist marks the return of an age-old conflict. WES ENZINNA JAN. 26...

I used the Jambo as an excuse to dig out my film camera and shoot a bunch of photos. I just got the first roll developed, which covers my trip down the coast with @Geraldo, Cricket, @WanderLost Radical, and @zim as well as the first day of the Jambo. The best photo on the roll is definitely the...

This quiz explains why it's so tough for some of us to get a date. :p http://reductress.com/post/is-he-the-one-or-an-old-timey-railway-scamp-looking-for-a-place-to-stay/ New relationships are fun and exciting, but they bring with them a whole new set of questions. Even when things are going...

Now I can't confirm this myself but I was just browsing Reddit and came across a couple tips that may be handy to our members from the UK. Apparently most locked dumpsters can be opened with a triangle key like this. The same thread also mentioned that there's a key called a RADAR key that opens...

New York City Squatters In The 1990s: Before The Fall By Paul Sorene on 12 July 2016 http://flashbak.com/new-york-city-squatters-in-the-1990s-before-the-fall-361000/ “I humbly invite you to take a stroll through my life in the squatter community of the Lower East Side (LES) in the 1990s,”...

Hey, friends. I've recently started considering going the rubbertramp route. I haven't driven since I failed driver's ed as a high school freshman so obviously my first step is to (re)learn how to drive (which is probably a good idea even if I don't end up traveling by vehicle). I checked...

Hey, friends. @nomadman and I are going to be heading to Quito, Ecuador sometime soon. I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had been there and had suggestions on things to do and see. I'm always interested in the local music and art scene but really any information you could share would be...

Collaboratively written by @MolotovMocktail, @kaichulita, @EphemeralStick, @Tude, and @7xMichael Sometimes, we get questions on Squat the Planet from minors asking for advice about running away from home. Our general policy is to discourage minors from traveling, but this post serves to provide...

"Roll Up Your Sleeves is a manifesto for an alternative way of organising, working and thinking. The debut film from director Dylan Haskins was shot over a two year period by Haskins and his friends. What begins with non-profit all ages gigs in his own home 'The Hideaway House' in Ireland leads...

This is pretty badass. It's a shame they threw him in jail and destroyed all his hard work. The video at the link below has more info and video of the cave itself...
