Hey all, I'll write a longer post about my so far.epic and fun safe trip in Morrocco soon. I highly doubt this, but any femmes on here ever travel solo to Mauritania and Sénégal? I want to go down south and quite frankly my road dog is stressing me out a ton. We just met up again after a few...

Hi everyone. So just want to introduce myself my name is Bryce from South Africa and found this website on Reddit regarding vagabonding, which I have just started getting into. I was working in France but that's over with now. I currently am in Spain and have been walking since Barcelona and am...

So during my last biking trip I read "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke. I'm not gonna spoil the book in this post because its a fucking great read and I absolutely recommend it if you're a sci-fi fan. Anyway, the book is about humanity coming across an alien structure which is...

Good Morning Friends, I'm planning a trip to Tangier Morocco. It's a place I've always wanted to go being a fan of Paul Bowles, William S Burroughs and the beatniks. I'm curious of what I should do. Honestly I'd be content sitting on a floor cushion in an open air cafe drinking tea for 3 hours...

I won't write too much about this as someone posted my old blog post about my first visit to Mauritania here a while back, and I don't like to chew my fat twice. I just want to share some photos, as well as to subvert all convention by saying I've done this trip twice and both times it was...

Bom dia Anyone been to or read about this....increbibly-lovely seeming country? I hope one day to pass through Angola, or elsewhere a flight can be caught to these islands. I heard about it originally from a guy in Brasil while we were drinking in front of the grocery store and swappin...

What’s up? I’ll be in Portugal from mid-October until at least mid-November. I’d like to get into some hitchhiking or some other adventure.. I can stay in the Schengen area until January 14.. So maybe head over to Cyprus (or some other non-schengen country).. or pop over to Morocco when my time...

My trip to Senegal turned out to be a bit of a farce, but it could be of interest to anyone else planning an ultra-budget trip to West Africa. The first rule of traveling in Africa happens to be the same as the first rule of hitchhiking: Don’t be in a hurry. If you try to hitchhike somewhere...

Hey guys, Vizion here. I'm thinking of hitting Sinai in a month or two, anyone been there? Have stories/advise to share?

I'm in the early stages of planning my next trip to North Africa and I know there are some globetrotting veterans here; if anyone's been to Morocco I'd love to hear some stories or inspiration as to where to go next. Or any stories at all, just to keep me sane while I twiddle my thumbs and wait...

With so much fertile land its an injust to have reliance on foreign imports for basic food items. Looking for info on cooperatives, community organizing, ideas and dialogue about empowering this beautiful and fertile Sub-Saharan region. What has worked in other communities, technology of...

The view from Queen Mary's peak on the isolated island of Tristan da Cunha. A stay on Tristan da Cunha is not your typical island vacation. There are no restaurants. There are no hotels. Credit cards are not accepted, the beaches aren't safe for swimming, and every month brings between 17 and 26...

Has anyone on here been through the Congo ( sorry not the DRC)? I am in the process of watching a show about the trains there, and its peaking my interest. Not necessarily interested in talking to riders, just people who have experience in the country....but if you have ridden freights there I...

Hello, I am currently couchsurfing in Europe longterm. I am a former soldier, trying to shake my brainwashing, and re-discover the hippie I thought I was before the military and the hippie that I have always wanted to be. My hair is long, I'm camping, and I'm traveling the world one border...

I have spent quite a few years in the sonora and various deserts of the americas, but this winter I am planning to go into the sahara, and was wondering if people have done this, warnings, reccomendations, things to consider, etc... I will spend a while researching some of the local flora and...

I was looking through my photos from Ghana today (I have a ridiculous number of photos from that trip... around 11 thousand) and thought some of you might be interested in seeing a few. I'll make an album eventually, but for now, this'll have to do. Oh, I got awesome news today! Some of these...
