I'm working in the Colorado Rockies until Mid-November and I was planning on visiting NorCal in the winter and I wandered what were some good places for travellers to check out. I've wanted to see Monterey, Eureka, and Arcata but I would love some more suggestions. I will be mostly hitching. Thanks!

I've heard all about how if you decide to go to the wild you should partner up with people to ensure survival which I totally agree with. If I were to do it alone, is there a place I can live nearby a town just in case I need outside help and would that be a good idea? I was wondering about...

I’ve been looking for places to go to after my job in Colorado ends in November. What are some travel friendly places in the southwest or other places you recommend being in the winter?

I plan on going about this way in June and I was wondering if this would be doable for a first time hitchhiker. I would plan on stopping in SLC, and Boise before going to Portland. I've also heard the legal status of hitchhiking isn't good especially in Boise. What did you experience? Thanks!

I've heard some people say it's better to hitchhike clean shaved. Is that your experience? I have a small beard and I am trimming it properly. Does it make much of a difference? Cheers

I have been wanting to hitchhike on my trip and I keep chickening out and end up taking the bus which costs so much money. I think I may try it in Austin but I'm trying to go east. Would you say hitching south to San Antonio then east in I-10 a good idea?

I want to get to Portland and I am in Boulder right now and I was thinking going to Cheyenne and hitch on I-80 W. Is there a better way to get there? Have you done this route before? Let me know and thanks!

I'm currently working on a farm for someone in exchange for room and board and I am starting to hate it. There's so much work to do and I find it impossible to have the motivation to do it. I was planning on trying to find a ride to a city because I have someone taking me to Colorado in July...

I have my gear list up to date and I was wondering if you could tell me anything you see on my list you happened to throw away because you didn't need it, because it weighed down, or any other reason. Thank you. My plans are hitchhiking along with stealth camping and maybe working some short...

I am planning on travelling this summer out west and I was wondering about any places or towns you would recommend visiting (or some natural sights close to these places.) I will be visiting Seattle, Portland, Arcata, Boulder, Albuquerque, and San Antonio. Let me know of any places around there...

I've been trying to sleep outside the past few nights to prepare for stealth camping before I go out on my own and I have been having a hard time actually getting to sleep. I think it's my physical comfort level, mostly. I have used a tent with a pillow and some small things to rest my feet on...

I saw this guy's tag in an abandoned motel in Salem, FL and I was wondering if any of you knew him.

I am looking at a backpack that was top rated on Google: Osprey Aether 70. It looks good, it has a frame and promoted airflow with your back. I think it looks good and I wanted to know what you think of it. Thank you! Osprey Aether 70

I've been thinking of travelling to many different places recently and I've this "idea" in my head of a perfect trip to specific places but the more I think about it, it's so much more likely for things to go wrong in a planned trip. I hear people with just travelling for the sake of it having...

So I am at home trying to make some money so I can travel hopefully overseas. My mother says I should try going to a place like Asheville and living there for a little so I can get used to living on my own and being independent. I eventually want to travel to Russia for about a month or two and...

I spent most of last month in Pennsylvania visiting with old friends. When I went up there I had a plan where once I finished visiting friends, I would start travelling on my own, on foot or hitching. I actually was going to try and find a partner while I was up there and I never got to it so I...

(Not sure if this is the right thread but I didn't know where else to post) I am off for my first journey to Pennsylvania (where I grew up) and I'm very excited. I was planning on doing some couchsurfing or staying with friends, and sleeping in the woods. I was wondering what other places are...

I was thinking about walking once I start travelling on the road which I thought was a good idea, but the only thing is it would be more challenging to get somewhere fast which is why I am considering taking my bike. I can do 22 miles a day walking, and at most 95 miles on my bike in a day. I...

I was wondering how many of you travelling through the United States deal with discrimination from police officers or other groups. I've heard a lot of bad stories about discrimination against anyone who doesn't live a normal life in this country, including brutality and even murder, and that...

I Know I haven't got everything I need yet but I just want someone to judge what I have now, what you think I won't need, and what you think I should get. My Pack: Osprey Porter 65 Cooking: Snow Peak GigaPower Stove 8 oz MSR ISOPRO MSR Seagull Stowaway Cooking Pot 3 Backpacker meals for...

There's this mobile home park in my town that's been abandoned since 2007 and I've ridden my bike through it a lot of the time and only once I saw someone else walking through. All the mobile units are gone but there is one regular house, (I guess it used to be an office building) and every time...
