i was in mexico for a month, had tap water, had some excellent spring water, but one time my friend brought some water from another spring and for nearly a week i couldnt eat anything without immediately liquid shitting afterward. fasting + some enzyme pills an american woman had worked, +...

did you stay at shakespeare and co? i thought that was a policy of the previous owner + you had to be writing a book? also - the airport - what terminal were you eating at together? sounds fun. we tried to share with an old guy who was there, he was watching us cook really hungrily then when...

uruguay sounds cool, does anyone have any info on how much things cost there compared to other countries?

i second fuck paris. you can hardly do anything without money but just in case. there is an artist squat on rue de menilmontant, they have concerts and bar sometimes, if you talk to them maybe you can crash there who knows. i´ve also seen warehouses squatted by artists around gambetta, but with...

hey cardboard long time no talk are you planning on leaving europe this winter? i just want to throw in a word of caution re getting into the psych ward. (i personally don´t think that any government will be able to maintain much control in the near future as many things in the world spin out...

emc summed it up really well. i would add that these terms don´t have any fixed meaning, they´re variably used by members of subcultures to refer to themselves, at times are epithets, can refer to fashion or lifestyle or beliefs... to most people they evoke mainly a certain set of...

this is awesome and will possibly improve my quality of life drastically i have the smallest bladder in the world and hate having to wait until a clandestine spot presents itself :)

haha i also think that it is possible that a coffee-table book could serve like many such projects - making a certain way of life accessible as something that can be cursorily consumed aesthetically there´s also the issue of an observer killing spontaneity/ affecting reality while traveling...

latin america has so much good music i think it´s a shame they mostly like to listen to crappy stuff like bachata, reggaeton´s all right if overly repetitive this is a good idea, i hope you post more things you see/ hear while on tour

no offense but you sound kind of like an informercial - can someone who´s read the book give a technique? i do agree though that the most effective long-term thing to do is get the need for any kind of addiction out of your system. i´ve found the best things to do are: analyze why you smoke/...

ok so my story is a bit convoluted and i´m not sure it applies, but i have a european passport and one time i got a "free" flight to europe. it actually sucked, i and some friends were trying to enter a country that we didn´t technically need a visa for, but it was a huge airport and security...

thanks a lot, i´ll definitely try a temporary filling, that´s a huge relief. i´ve also heard that you can sign up at some dental schools to have students practice on you for free or very cheap, i´m gonna look into that too when i get a chance.

cool, i´m actually thinking of moving on to morocco, because the weather has been sucking here and it´s not really fun to do anything when any moment it might rain and you have nowhere to get dry. do you have any tips for morocco? oh - and by trans atlantic you mean sailing to the...

sounds like an amazing time! when i get some money i´d like to find some cheap place to live for a while like you are, i´d love to hear more, and maybe you could give me some info like: what´s the minimum amount of cash you need to get by in peru - how much is rent for a room, what about...

can you post a link for that blog if you have it?

(rant): not sure what kind of addicts you mean but at tripi most of what i saw used were hash, psychedelics, ecstasy or speed. i don´t use hard drugs but some of the most open and interesting people i met were there. sure there´s a local population of homeless alcoholics. my experience with...

in barcelona go to "plaza tripi" (named after lsd, tho it´s officially called Plaza George Orwell) behind the Plaza Reial for gutter punks or usurpa.squat.net for addresses and events calendar of squats

i ended up coming to madeira - portuguese island near the canaries. not a place to meet people but i came to clear my mind... flights were pretty cheap from europe and there´s lots of nature, unpolluted air, ocean... i would be incredibly surprised if someone else from the forum showed up here...

"A growing number of people are cutting down on daily showering and hair-washing. So could you join the extreme soap-dodgers? "The New York Times has just reported on a new trend towards what's sometimes known as soap-dodging. Among those who have cut down on daily showers, baths or...

-i´m a "real traveling chick" which means that i don´t go to my parents to use the computer... traveling can entail going quite far away, and having a life besides having "adventures" and going "home." it also means that travel is my mode of life but not my sole purpose. having a laptop helps...

is there anything that can be done about cavities without going to the dentist?

Berlin - no turnstiles, controllers get on trains at random and give you a ticket to pay 40 euros within 14 days, after that it goes up, and if you don´t pay it will come up if they ID check you. they might confirm your ID and address. in hundreds of rides it´s only happened to me once though...

i thought it might be useful to make a kind of database on accessing public transport without paying in different countries/ cities... some countries have excellent train networks, others hardly at all, some trains have no controllers, some will fine you, others will kick you off... some metros...

do you mean it was easy to get into squats? or the general population was very hospitable? another thing you can do if you´re stuck without a warm place at night is get on one of the trains running between amsterdam and rotterdam or utrecht all night

depends on the day but not comfortable by my standards, most people wearing coats, takes a little while to heat up at night even with body heat

winter´s coming and i´ll be heading south soon... by default probably spain... does anyone know of any good areas in south of spain or south anywhere, where you haven´t had problems staying warm, sleeping safe, and finding food? very much appreciated!

does anybody have first- or second- hand info on hitching or getting work with no prior experience, from the canaries to south america? i´m also interested in the e-book but the download link doesn´t work

i´m in amsterdam right now... didn´t try sleeping in the center because the authorities apparently wake up anyone they see sleeping in the street, at any hour. not to mention it´s been raining about every 20 minutes. luckily we have a tent and we´ve put it up between the train station and...

any festival suggestions?

i´ve been around barcelona and smaller towns of catalunya for the last while... if anyone wants to meet up, send me a PM

ah yeah, it´s even worked to purposely or by accident bring a bunch of bottles that the machine doesn´t accept, and when you check out have them in a bag on top of whatever you want to steal

lol i wasn´t doubting that you´ve been to kopi, just trying to give mandapocalypse info... peace and let´s keep this topic useful, i haven´t seen machines that take whole boxes, but the keg thing is a good idea. apparently you can also photocopy the barcodes and paste them onto plastic cups...

nothing so brutal as being attacked by cops, that´s fucked up. in the airport. got out blankets and everything. it was hot though, so i was just wearing a skirt... apparently it rode up. 2 hours later 2 cops came and asked for id... they said it was ok to sleep there, but i had to "cover...

cop - "where are you from?" me - "why do you need to know?" cop - "i´m axin´cuz i the po-lice!" cop - "what are you doing away from home?" me - "why do you ask?" cop - "i´m nosy, that´s why i became a cop" cop after eviction: "what are you all doing outside this house? it looks like a...

^^ of course, it´s just that they pay rent, some houses nearly normal costs so you might not be able to crash for free as long. it´s still folks who are open and active in the radical community, and there are concerts/ bar in the house :D berlin also has great dumpsters, try kaufland...

i´m camping out in the madrid airport right now... heading to squats in barcelona and if that doesn´t work, maybe a rural alternative community... any tips for barcelona, beermilkshake?

in berlin: stressfaktor.squat.net lists all the activist events, punk shows, free films, anarchist bars, pay-what-you-want dinners, etc. ^^ kopi is no longer a squat, it was legalized years ago, but it and many of the other housing collectives whose addresses are listed in stressfaktor...

fucking awesome. is it only available to people registered at shelters, though?

hi, i haven't done much traveling around "my" country but this month i & my tramphamily are in new york. not sure how that will go. was in berlin, evicted from the last squat by hundreds of filth officers. dreaming of the tropics. look forward to getting to know y'all, looks like this is...
