    where would you go if money was no object?

    A cabin and lake in Switzerland, sounds like a dream to me.

    Work shoes or boots?

    Sounds like a good deal to me. I guess I just have picky feet, I've tried a few boots and the ones I have now are good for the long-term. My others have either come away from the seams or just give me constant blisters.

    Work shoes or boots?

    I personally wear a pair of Salomon boots for hiking but everyone is different, I recommend going to an outdoor store and getting a pair fitted to you, which I did. No point in spending $150 on a decent pair of boots online and then realising they're not very well suited for your feet. Everyday...

    Thinking about heading towards Eastern Europe

    The hostels in Budapest are insanely cheap, I've been twice. The general atmosphere of people that live there are just so friendly. I love how everyone hangs around deak ferenc square at night time...every night.. they just drink and have fun. There's not many places I've been to like that. I...

    Thinking about heading towards Eastern Europe

    Hey. I've been stuck in England for the past few months so I feel like I need to escape again now that I've got a few pennies saved up, anyone got a budget of how much it'll cost in places like Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, ect.. I'll be either staying in the cheapest hostels...

    What comes next?

    I wouldn't mind having that one friend instead of 800+ friends, as long as we can be weird together that's all that counts, I had a friend for 12+ years but I ruined(personal reasons)that and we just gradually stopped talking which was unfortunate :(.

    What comes next?

    Sounds like a great idea, however someone like me would never be able to afford to setup a hostel. I can barely afford to keep myself fed and watered. Thanks for the reply. I can definitely understand that was his biggest regret, it'll probably be one of my regrets too since I don't really...

    What comes next?

    When you're all done travelling around countries for 20-30+ years what's the plan afterwards? Just a thought I'd randomly had in my head, I plan to travel for a very long time but when I'm 50-60+ I'll probably have nothing and I'll be lonely. Even if the past 50 years were amazing what would be...

    When you love somebody more than they love you

    Walking away is easier said than done. I'm going through something similar-ish. I'm in love with my best friend and the catch is she has a boyfriend but I know she has feelings for me or at least it looks like she does, she just doesn't want to hurt anyone, unfortunately I'm the unlucky one...

    Craziest places you've slept for the night?

    Unfortunately I'm not as crazy as you lot! Craziest places I've ever slept is in airports and outside train stations with a sleeping bag and a piece of cardboard.

    Thanks for putting the effort into that, I'll put it into a notepad for safe keeping lol it'll definitely come in handy.

    Hitchhike across the world - 2 year plan

    I've been watching your videos for awhile, very crazy and amazing. Giving me motivation to try it one day but I've got quite the bucket list.

    Can I tour on this?

    Sounds amazing and New Zealand is definitely on my bucket list and has been for awhile. Yeah I've always wanted to cycle around the Greek islands whilst sleeping in hammocks and tents on the beach. I'll definitely let you all know when I start but it wont be until 2017, I need to finish what I...

    Can I tour on this?

    I have screw holes at the bottom but I think I just need to buy a clamp for the seat post. The harness looks really useful, I could easily put my tent in there. I am curious of much it would cost to send it over though lol. I would love it if you could post that list for me, all advice is good...

    Can I tour on this?

    It looks good so far! Gumtree, we have that in England too. I have no plan yet but I've always wanted to start in Scotland and make my way to Greece. What about you?

    2016 West Coast Bike Tour Vlog!

    At least you tried man. I hope you give it another shot again one day. I'm planning on doing one but I have a few years of cycling under my belt, just without all the gear.

    Can I tour on this?

    Hey guys anyone know if I can just stick a rack on this and a couple of panniers and go away for a few months? I've been thinking about it for awhile but I'm not willing to buy a touring bike if I can use a road bike. Can someone recommend saddle bags, panniers and racks...

    Hey STP

    That's cool, wish I started travelling when I was 18 but I still had issues then. I want to hitch through all of them but I haven't planned it out.

    Hey STP

    Hey! I'm Matt, 23 from Manchester, England. I've been on this site for a few months but I've only recently registered (my bad!). I've read a lot of helpful information here too so far which is amazing. I'm a solo introvert(or INFJ-T as I only recently just figured out) traveler, my most recent...
