What kind of traveling style interests you? Are you saving up for a vehicle, or shoes and a tent? I guess you could boat from there...

Great dream... Walking around. I feel so bound up and caged in the USA. So many fences. And that's in the west. East coast is rediculous. First time I thought that walking cross country could be possible was in Scotland. Fields of Heather rolling over and over in the drizzle and fog. But, I live...

No. Government reimbursement is one of the benefits you were promised and there is nothing wrong with making a claim.

Hi Dahloaf! Yes! In a world that pushes us into the concept of "owning" land, it sure is nice to find some that is affordable! Ours was 40 acres for $20k. That's still a lot of working and saving, but doable. Homesteading in Alaska would be a TRIP! Not one I'm brave enough to try...

Thanks for this, Coyote. As part of accute site observation for the sake of making good placement decisions for home and garden, I realized that I know almost nothing about where I live - EARTH. I've been tracking the weather, taking pictures of and researching all the bugs and plants around...

I totally agree with you. America's roots are in towns, small cities, and down dirt roads. My number one travel priority is STAY OFF THE INTERSTATE. And similarly, avoid chain restaurants and stores. These places are not where you will learn about the particulars of a place or it's people, which...

Your list reminds me of the process I used to find my first home. First, I outfitted an S-10 pick up (that's one of the really little ones) so I could live out of it and traveled around the USA for 18 months. This did not help me find a place to live because I liked all of it. So... I put a...

Colorado is alright. I have a lot of family there so it was where we always went for summer vacation growing up. I'm mostly familiar with the interstate corridor: Ft. Collins to Pueblo. However... there is one super-interesting place to see off the beaten path I can recommend... Bishop Castle...

Is anyone sleeping under this bright half moon tonight? Years ago, I pulled into The Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. It's a National Park complete with ranger stations, campgrounds, and an exhibit center. I think it was early October, and because snow always closed the roads, the park...

That's great!! I want to start a library also! I've started drawing up plans, but it's a couple years down the road still.

I ended up shaving my head because it felt better than hair that was unwashed for a week. Unfortunately, that did not help with blending in much - still to uncommon to be shaved as a woman. People would actually approach to ask if I was recovering from chemo.

So do you have a plan for "separation" from your job and current lifestyle?

If you're used to NJ weather, it will feel like Spring in the southern states right now. (Plus, no bugs down there right now!) I did a lot of map collecting, funds collecting, and contemplating before my first big trip. I even took a two week mini-trip to get used to traveling alone and...

OMG, Luna, I would kill anyone who took a picture of me sleeping... and here you are posting one! Ha! Good luck pulling some money together. I use a freelancing site for side cash, guru.com.

Hitching is so scary and exciting! I hope you're finding great rides and staying warm. What are your sleeping arrangements?

Settling is my new adventure. Though I have been many places and would like to see many more, I am currently trying to set up a home in the high desert. We are several miles from any pavement or utility grids, and it's a huge, wonderful, difficult learning process to make life comfortable...
