Don't skip that ya'am. Worse food best weed

https://hitchwiki.org/en/Main_Page It's great.

So is it a legend that you can spend the night in the subway? Also, I did that once in Canada in a Tim Hortons (their shitty coffee chain)- I bought one drink, so I'm a customer, and I just kinda slept there (sitting, so not good sleep, but a safe place to spend the night)

Shame. I went all the way down from Quincy to Nola along this river, at no point it looked decent to enter. Rip Bsbd

Winter hitchhiking in Canada will teach you some cold ass life lessons! Go for it! Yellowknife, Whitehorse or Takayuktak, They're all ready for you!

Hey Milenial hobo. Nice to meet you. You seem naive and nice (according to the ubi thing). Hope you don't get into anymore troubles with the law! Piss

Why should cops hassle you? Unless you're driving on freeways in states you're not allowed to, cops should leave you alone. I only had 3 unwanted encounters with cops in a year: Ontario Canada; camping where I shouldn't have. Woke me up at midnight after were called by citizens (eventually left...

No need to purchase any maps. The route is online, just bookmark dots on your Google maps/navigation app and you're set.. Basically, you don't even need the internet, the hwy system is parallel to the freeway, and many times you have Frontage roads which run just next to the freeway. Another...

Throughout the US, besides the Levee roads, I don't recall any issues with road conditions. Wherever Google mark a road as a road, it was a good paved asphalt. Sure, if you're in a farming area and you see this square-shape roads, it's probably shitty Rocky farm roads, but there's no reason to...

There's a website with safe (ish) bike paths across the country. The one you might be interested in is the southern tier https://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/southern-tier/ My route from San Diego to Slab city went something like this: Hwy78 from...

Pamir highway or in general silk route are highly travelled! Good luck with that

Hey I guess that by now you should be really locked on your destination. If not, you get plenty of advices so I ain't gonna add my idea. About winter biking; well, it's sucks. But it's also doable. I'll spare the gear nececseties (I misspelled that) cause you got plenty of info and will...

Very well written! Looks beautiful friend. I'm sorry if I missed, but any new plans for the nearby future? Maybe Vancouver to Whitehorse ;)

You are not allowed to ride on freeways. At least not in California. Not sure about Texas To your question; 20s seems too small but it also depends on how much you carry and your own weight. I'd say this; if you can, try and get a bigger frame that can fit at least 26's (700cc is classic). If...

Hey OP I don't know if you're reading the comments but I just wanna let you know that I have absolutely no advice for you, I do t know you and we will never meet, Yet I want to express my love and support to you, for what it's worth. I'm so terribly sorry for your life path and how things just...

For me entering Canada (from the us, French passport) was the easiest thing in the world. In fact, I started by trespassing and the cbp guy yelled at me to stop, I returned and he stamped my passport in two seconds, even though the passport was demaged (to the point I was denied a US visa on it...

Where I come from, Rain is a good thing. Rain makes corn Corn makes whisky Whisky makes my baby A little bit frisky

My 4 panniers were stolen from my bike a few months ago in Brawley (a day before I went to slab City). Everything I had was in those bags; water, food, sleeping system, clothes. Cool stuff from other countries. EVERYTHING. What a shitty feeling. I really hope you'll be able to retrieve your...

So you are technical enough to quote and even edit the original message (a big no no in the internet community if you ask me) but you Tottaly ignored the tips about maybe introducing yourself. Think of the recipient of your messege (us). A new member, no info, nothing specific. You basically...

Can anyone top that? 😁

Try reading hitchhiking forum. Lots of good info there. Good luck getting out of your home state, you will meet good people, especially yourself!

I was always excited about hiking the stampade trail to the "magic bus" from the story if into the wild. Another thing is trying to reach to the northmodt point, or maybe north west and wave to Russia. Hella exciting Otherwise, Denali is large enough to spend a few lifetimes.

Try to go north :) I did Montreal to Tofino, mostly biking though. I found that many people drive the trans can and it was usually fairly easy to get a ride. No dog though

Nola is pretty hectic. I'm here now. IDK about squatts long term but if you're into those kinda stuff, many hostels would have you do a work exchange (a few hours work in exchange for free bed). Dumpsterdiving ain't easy here. Let me be clear: I didn't find any good spots. I like it here...

I thought Oakland sucked. I mean, it lacks the coolness of San Francisco and is way shittier than Berkeley or Union City But why don't you find out yourself and come back to tell us how you liked it? We are, after all, a bunch of strangers from the internet

Your common sense is your best tool. Dont worry too much about actual weapons, especially as a foreigner it can only get you in trouble (though you're a woman so it's more understandable). California, in case you hadn't done your geography, is a very long state (San Francisco to San Diego is...

I reccomand a sign. Make a sign (even more than one) in advance, so you can write your destantion clearly. I carried a thick marker with me. You can make a sign out of card boards. Write a good far-local destantion (from Toronto, Chicago might be a good destantion, or maybe new York). Crossing...

Hey I have no advice for you but as much as it's worth, You got (one more) cyber-supporter, somewhere along the path and always in the internet that hopes you find your peace. Be strong, don't loose your sensetivity (I misspelled, I know). 💪

I second that (does that mean I agree? Cuz I agree). I update my last message from earlier, I had a few 100 miles days but it is not very fun, and typically only happens because there's so much sunlight (wake up in your tent at 5:30, by 6:15 you're out, sunsets at 9pm) and I can't find a place...

Good point. Very valuable too. Next time I'll mention I don't have a u.s id, or that since they're not open on Sundays I might wait an extra day. Thank you for being so clear, the community appreciate you!

Hey. Thanks for the advices. A friend from California hooked me up with someone to get it Cheers

Hey all. I'm bike touring around the u.s and I'll be in Chicago in a few weeks. Im trying to find an address to recieve a new tire (I dont wanna use us post office, their hours are weird) for my bicycle. Any ideas? I tried a few bike shops, no success

I used shrooms before, but I'm really not sure I'd want it as accessable as Cannabis is. Damn, walking around San Fran even made me think twice about the whole legal Cannabis thing. In my mind, im pretty much for legalizing a wide variety of drugs (lsd included), but seeing the implaction of it...

Also, I thought it might be helpful. As a traveller you have your tool kit. It may consist your very basics, such as your thumb to hitchhike or your clothes to survive certain weather. I recommend that besides carrying some sort of a sleeping system (tent/bivy/tarp... Whatever you feel like!)...

New York is indeed a dangerous destination 😂

What's your interests in life? Any craft that you like? Sounds like joining a workshop or some sort of a course would be a good place for you to both be good at what you like (or find out that it sucks) and meet like minded people. Maybe volunteer in your local LGBT club or whatever it's...

Why wouldn't it be possible? I don't see the big surprise here... Yes, it's possible to drive a motorized vehicle on highly mantened roads! Also: an airplane CAN get you overseas! 😁

Hey kid. My name is Django and I'm you. So I'll try to write some very basic tips to myself, and since you're me and I'm you, you can take or leave whatever you feel like. Hint: the actual me would discard that message. Look like a person that a middle-aged white woman would take. That means...

That is heartwarming. Thanks man. It's hard nowadays to catch a ride with truckers, but I love it Everytime. The size, the radio, the distance. Longest ride for me was from Whitehorse to Edmonton. It's about 2,000 km (two days). It's awesome.

Three different people, their camp is called the rabbit side (according to their page on WS).

I sent them a message on WS, No reply, and i don't want to just show up to their camp, it might be viewed as a rude thing (which I understand..). Crazy hobo, I think you can do whatever you want, this post is just me trying to reach out to someone before I go there, but if I don't get any...

Oh that's the dude that operates the library! I saw a video of him. Thanks. Obviously, I remembered not correctly. It's a she!

So as part of my North-South America bike tour, I'm gonna hit the slabs. Mostly excited about salvation mountain, but I'd like to stay a night or two there. I have a tent, so that's taken care of, But I thought it'd be nice if I'd have a connection, someone to say "heyyy" to, Instead of just...

Dude. That was so Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

So.. any interesting spots for dumpster diving or "damaged" fruits collecting? I saw a lot of squatt options on the Western neighberhoods, but I'm not very much into squatting at the moment. Any casual jobs would be cool though. Biked the 100 miles from death valley junction over Mountain Springs

Please explain. How could you trespass to a place you haven't been to? I don't understand..

Smartphone is an extension of your abilities. With smartphone you gain access to endless sources of information at all time, You have access to noumeros (?) Ways of communication with people. Navigation, camera, music, communication and so much more, All in a very small, cheap (with 200$ you can...

Sweet. Dang. I spent 200$ on my damn panniers. Keep rocking! Started August 20th 2018 and counting

Just cycle down highway 101. It's nice.

I'm currently in on a tour. August to October, with lots of sunlight, I was about 60 miles avg. My highest was 130 km (is it like 75 miles?). When daylight got shorter and snow and all that shit, I reduced my avg to like 40 miles. Now I'm in the west coast, about 55 miles without pushing too...
