Hi everyone reading this!

My names Katelyn but I like to go by Sunflower. I have very little experience traveling.. mostly around Asheville, NC up to Virginia. My travels got cut short due to life threatening Lymes Disease. After that, I experienced communal living for 2 years on a farm in Tennessee.

Here I am 5 years later, ready to be free from the bounds that society tells you that you need to be. After battling a 3 year custody battle and a series of Unfortunate events, My beautiful son got taken from me for reasons out of my control. I have become so depressed, and the only thing I can think to do is TRAVEL! That feeling of not knowing what life is going to throw at you when you’re on the road is IMO the best feeling. Like Breaking the chains that have held me down for years.

I don’t have a plan at the moment, but I’m somewhat looking for a companion on my travels, or just some advice to maybe start planning for my next trip. I would love to hitchhike, maybe experience some train hopping.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a beautiful day wherever you are in the world! Xoxo

Hi Sunflower, Welcome Aboard to StP!!!

It appears in your intro you have been through a lot. I believe traveling would be best for you. Get your mind away from what happened to you and don't look back, look ahead.

I would suggest you do your research on where you want to go and read the Forums. I also suggest you read Matt Derrick's (the creator of this website) his book, The Anarchist's Guide to Travel. You can purchase it on this website, just click on; Store. It is choke full of information. This will be a start for you.

Get a writing pad and write down your travel goals.

I wish you the best of luck!
