I stayed in one in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. It was kinda awkward but did the job of keeping us warm. Only had a person come in once, then around 5:30am two women employees came in. Near opening time they told us we had to leave but they were pretty nice about it. I know it's maybe not the...

Just thought I´d share some info. Going through Pennsylvania (Erie, to Meadville to Pittsburg in general) has been pretty damn decent, considering I hear the cops could give us trouble on the interstate. Hitching out of Erie seemed difficult at first so we skipped the 79 and decided to go for...

We didn´t get to check out the collective, but we DID eventually make it out of Buffalo. Got stuck because of the stupid throughway in the way further South in the city, exasperated, then got a chance ride to Route 5 after asking a restaurant for freebies (sweet cornbread, woot!) and walked a...

Thanks, I´ll let you know if we end up in the area. I´d love to check out the collective; We´ll see if i can find time for that before I head out tomorrow.

Hitchhiking Montreal to almost-Toronto has been tough so far, but me and my man need to make it South the hell away from this cold quick. We´ll be crossing the border on the 6th or 7th of November into Buffalo, trying to make it to Nashville. I hear Buffalo is a shitty place to get stuck in. Any...

In general I found hitchhiking through the States to be quite more difficult than hitchhiking through Canada. As for the States, my toughest luck was in South East California, trying to make it to B.C. We kept passing through bland dirty cities and getting pulled over by cops, then driven to...

I had no trouble being vegan while hithhiking Canada, the States and even while traveling in Mexico. I cooked all my own food or ate simple food and made sure to eat a balanced diet, with a generous amount of local food. Lotsa fruit, oatmeal, beans and rice, nuts, not gas station crap. I didn't...

I haven't used normal shampoo and conditioner for the longest time. I use homemade natural soap to wash my hair and rinse with apple cider vinegar and it works well. The baking soda thing interests me though - I should give that a try.

Are you kidding me? I once stayed with some folks who had a flea-infested cat. Once they found me they attached themselves to my ankles like kids to candy - After a couple of days I literally had over 100 bites around my ankles and legs. They suck. The options above all suck, except of course D...

Walking around the city one night, found an open door to a big random building, climbed up, found a ladder to an open rooftop, climbed that, found another ladder going up this shabby dark shed which was now quite high - The shed seemed related to the elevator. I doubt the operator will ever know...

1 pair of shorts, 1 pair of pants, 2 pairs of leggings, 2 tank tops, 1 thin shirt-like jacket, 1 jacket, 1 warm hat & 1 cool hat, 1 pair of gloves, lots of scarves cause I like scarves (2 can double as a skirt or top!), 4 pairs of underwear, 2 bras and 3 pairs of socks.

Nothin' like a new, good-quality pair of socks! I bought a pair for 7$, 80% wool - The most I've ever spent on a pair of socks but damn I'm tired of wearing out shitty socks in less than a month and I'm not going to travel with 5 pairs of socks so I think I'm gonna buy another pair...

-Ahahaha, yeah I know what you mean, unfortunately there's lots of awkward moments and suspicion involved in hitchhiking. I myself can't help but keep lots of caution in the air since I'm a gal. Sure, hitchhiking can regularly put you in various shitty situations that you'd prefer never to...

Heya! My name's Kate. I'm a Montrealer living in a kick@$$ co-op and working at an awesome show cafe co-op but I just can't say no to travel, it's in my blood. So I'm heading out once again, in less than two weeks, hitchhiking South without a real plan and eating out of dumpsters, tenting it or...
