    Van Questions From a Non-Driver

    Hey again! I think you'll love the rubbertramping route. It's very rewarding in my opinion. In fact, after my recent stint hitchhiking, I'm in the middle of converting another van to hit the road in soon. This time a 1974 Ford Econoline. I'm actually working at an auto parts store now, which...

    Hey from Miami

    Ft. Laud to Jacksonville is pretty cool though. I've always wanted to see the Keys but I don't want to get through Florida again.

    Photos I've been hitchhiking around and asking everyone the same question "Why do you pick up hitchhikers?"

    Nah, not really! I've had a guy slamming beer in Missouri pick me up. He said something like "Yeah, I actually don't even have a licence. Too many DUIs" That's hilarious now but really worrying at the time. I got where I was going though. What about you?

    What's up guys? I just got back from the Yuba River for the 2015 Hitchgathering. It was awesome. In honor of that I thought I'd post some of my hitchhiking related photography. You can see the rest of my shit at www.facebook.com/thenikonkidd Last time I posted you said my name was dumb and so...

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    I love your videos man and I accept your criticism, but I believe I'm onto something unique and I'm going to let it develop. Mike Brodie did his thing and I like his photos, but I'm not trying to recreate those moments. I've got an angle and you'll probably start to see it in a few months. I'm...

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    That's literally EXACTLY what I'm doing. I've been traveling for a little less than a year now. This gives me something to do that I think is worthwhile

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    Thank you very much! It looks like he didn't have permission from all his subjects before publishing either, which isn't cool. I think I'm just going to take my chances with the name and let people think whatever they want. It's too much work to change it at this point. Lots of people are...

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    Hmmm... Why do you say that? I'm kinda liked it actually. You know sort of following in the footsteps of Mike Brodie "Polaroid Kidd" and the "Kodak Kidd". I

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    Somebody needs to preserve the culture and it might as well be me. I've been traveling homeless for a little less than a year now. I started in a van and ended up hitchhiking. Now I've just hopped my first freight train (WITH A TON OF CAREFUL PREPARATION) and I just fucking love it. Anyway I'm...

    Ex Vandweller from Arkansas

    Hey! I don't have any real destination in mind. I haven't seen much of the east coast though. I want to see Asheville, NC for sure. And I also missed out on the Olympic Peninsula the last time I was in Washington. So I want to see that. I'm basically just looking for adventure! Sounds lame, but...

    Ex Vandweller from Arkansas

    Hey guys, what's up? I'm Mike. I'm 22 and from Arkansas. After dropping out of college (computer science) and working a shitty job for minimum wage. I realized that "real" life sucks ass. Why work my life away for someone else? So I bought a van for $600 and got the fuck out. That was seven...
