If your from the EU by the way its visa free to go to Georgia or at least it was when we drove in, and we had a Brazilian hitchhiker in the car who they didn't care about and when we were hitchhiking out, the border police never asked us anything about the fact we didn't have a car this time...

Yeah drove a car across Europe and Turkey and then it broke down in a flood in Batumi Georgia. Water in the engine, I sold the banger to a Russian guy called Dimitri then kicked about Batumi for a couple days before hitchhiking back to Europe. Georgians were cool folk, they like Wine and Rugby...

A true legend in the hitchhiking world. His writings inspired me to hitchhike South America. His stories of canoeing the Amazon River left me in awe. RIP brother. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Falterman

lived in Budapest 6 months in Hungary and the gypsys are out picking through the bins everynight, definetly not an enforced law

Hows you like Ireland? Ive kicked around Bulgaria twice mostly in the countryside though and Veliko Tarnovo. I dont think there is a punk subculture there or any subcultures to be honest, just Gypsys and Bulgarians. Most of the ex soviet countries dont have so called squats or that many people...

Definetly no train tracks or roads even for that matter, you will need to take boats. From Iquitos in Peru to Manaus im guessing the boat would be around 30 dollars take about 5 days include food and you sleepin your own hammock (my guess). Them boats have been hitched but you would need...

Trucks too of course, I mostly use truckers in Europe and sometimes sleep in the trucks. Got none in the US because of Insurance stuff they said. The constant changing of languages in Europe too is a major difference and how police don't care. The amount of Jesus people picking you up too, you...

Cartagena's too hot man, I'm kicking it down in Ipiales beside Ecuador

I got some pictures here. Seiously though guys I really did enjoy the US, some real hardcore travellers here even if they dont have passports. Hardcore US travellers.

Well didn´t the time fly. I flew to Boston and meet up with Highwayman, a genuine fellow, sound as a pound. We travelled to NY together with Craigslist rideshare for a dropkick murphys concert (he helped me get in free). He gave me plenty of advice on the US aswell, a total different kettle of...

Getting started in Boston this thursday, very excited!

If i had went for the border I have no doubt I would of been fucked, there's probably only one irish passport passing through it a week and the driver had told the police I was on my way there.

Dont want to drop the ::soapbox::

Facing Arrest in Turkey I was surprised to see an SUV switch lanes and pull in a few yards in front of me. I hadn’t been even looking at the traffic never mind thumbing as I walked along-side the main road from Istanbul to Silivri. It wasn’t a motorway but the traffic still had been speeding by...

In Istanbul Turkey in the courtyard of one of the big Mosques with a local girl at about 6 in the morning there was scaffolding up in one corner, we snook in behind them. Stuffed the johnny in my pocket then threw it in a bin outside the Mosque because a respect and all that.

You know them boys? I'm shipping up to Boston way hey o!

Booked my flight so, early March to Boston (cheapest flight from Ireland) for 270 euro (350 dollars). Excited about it

Ye since I wont technically be allowed to work in the USA and smoke the occasional joint I doubt labour ready is ideal, asking around in Irish pubs seems like a good shout or the guys i hitchhike with

Thanks man that's good to know I might be looking to skip back into Canada again alright. Is labour ready an actual building like a job center or something?, thanks ha I suppose I have the adventure bug, what kind a online work do you do?

I'm heading back on the road again soon and this time I want to leave Europe. For once too I want to go somewhere that people speak English for a change since it should be easier to find work I would assume. I put this in the USA forum beause its the country I'm most concerned about If I leave...
