    Website Updates Squat the Planet will be shutting down at the end of 2023

    @Matt Derrick What a site to be proud of, I’ve really learnt so much and met some super good guys here, among the madness - the space for resources you have created still is and has been incredibly powerful. Lover of forums! But alas they’re not the thing anymore as far as I can see. The world...

    Supplements that help focus??

    Happy to chime in with mushrooms! Small doses can be used to micro-dose with. 0.1/0.2 of a g and you won't even feel any 'trip' it'll work totally undetected - just a a small mind expansion. An almost unoticable increase in concentration and productivity. A mild clarity. A slightly sharper...

    Do not fight the system. Go around it. Play with it.

    Don't get me wrong, I understand ideas of getting back to nature, understanding our own countries laws etc and I think I get what you're trying to say but I also see this coming from quite a privileged way of thinking about the world. There's so many people that just don't have the choice to...

    Best Places in British Columbia

    Love for Vancouver Island. I had 2 favourites there. Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park - for the Douglas Fir Trees! Goldstream Provincial Park, Cowichan Valley Trail - for the crazy high trestle bridges... & beautiful waterfalls (spot the traveler)

    I think my favorite thing about wanderers is our strange names. (ft a ramble about dinosaurs)

    The name chose me! I guess just got called it a lot at parties because of the dreads. From Jamaican Patois, meaning; streetwise / street tough kid, often raggedy or scruffy clothing, unkempt. Derogatory turned affectionate term. Also a style of dance music derived from reggae. Here's a couple...

    Question Crossing the border from Canada to the USA : what to say ?

    Tell them you're a tourist. As a Canadian citizen you legally have 180 days in the states before you need to return to Canada. Like @ali said, be polite! They'll be hot on weed. Not worth the effort carrying over the boarder. Be aware also of the amount of Canadian migrants traveling...

    Video Lüetzerath: The village destroyed for a coal mine (ft. the Mud Wizard vs riot police video)

    Big up the mud wizard! Riot police vs climate change activists in Germany. Pepper spray is futile when you're a wizard. Here's a a brilliant video of incompetent riot police, just a small, more amusing section of the final showdown. This comedy gold aside, over 15,000 activists returned after...

    News & Blogs article about women sexually abused by captains they met online

    Not to say these women don't need the best resources they can get and I really hope a bigger seafaring support network is built to aid / warn / share & inform women to any and all likelihoods, dangers & scenarios of not just the sea but of traveling in close quarters with people. Plan for the...

    News & Blogs article about women sexually abused by captains they met online

    As a woman I agree. For me it's a position I would never willingly put myself in. I dunno, even with all the checks, that's great, but that doesn't provide me any more security. Especially without a solid foundation of trust and knowing that person / those people inside & out. You're still...

    Yo, alright Have you checked out housing co-ops? There's over 300 in London alone varying from free to low rent. You can apply to your local authority housing register, it's worth doing because a lot of the time it's a requirement for some of the more known housing co-ops wait lists but also a...

    Been a few years since a post on this thread! Can anyone shed light on South America now?

    I'm now planning my South American journey - wanting to start in Perú. HOWEVER the political unrest has lead to sporadic, short term closures of some local airports / railways and boarder crossings. I thought I could maybe I could start Brazil and travel across from there, or Ecuador and drop...

    Admittedly unrealistic, but what’s the best (cheapest) way to get to the UK from America?

    Don't aspire to be a football hooligan - please - take it from a Brit, it's neither positive nor fashionable. Cargo ships / working vessels are a cheap way to travel over but you'd have to book way in advance, also not sure what new policies are about during this time... Check it out. Fully...

    Side note: my trip to Scotland was a lonely one, certainly not in a bad way but a needed rip away from society / emotions just for a short while. I feel stupid even calling it traveling as I currently reside in England.. so it wasn't really that far away. Definitely more of an exploration...

Avebury lives in Stonehenge's celebrity shadow. At Avebury you can touch and walk among the stones...

    Where's a good spot to stay in BC to avoid all the bullshit?

    Agree. Kootneys are a dream, Van holds its own problems, as well as being nightmare expensive. However, remember that also the surrounding areas, Surrey included, each hold their own problems... so it's not like you can pick one above the other sometimes... I've recently just got to Richmond...
