I've been wanting to do this for some time now, I used this site a lot to help me during traveling. I've been off the road for a few years now but I've been busy attempting to re-assimilate into society. I am finally getting around to writing about my travels. I did the college thing, I come...

Greetings from Egypt! After 6 months traveling most of South America I've got some stories to tell. So many, in fact, that I'm a bit intimidated by all the bits and pieces of posts I've written crying to be finished. My Southeast Asia post is about two years late by now. How do you eat an...

Hey guys! I'm starting to plan a trip to South/Central America this winter, and I'd like you guys' input and experiences. I've been considering trying to spend as many nights as possible sleeping outside, on beaches and bushed areas, like I usually do when I travel, but I also know by...

I am new here and still kind of new to traveling on my own. I was born in Tennessee and spent most of my life there. I am traveling with a wheeled luggage bag for my laptop, my cameras, etc. And a shoulder bag with a few shirts and a coat. I've couchsurfed, stayed in hostels and airbnb, slept...

All I see in this godforsaken country is cities, farms and institutions of planet destruction. But maybe I'm wrong, are there any large areas of unruined nature anywhere in the lower 48? Finding a place to live in nature is becoming a forgotten fantasy and it breaks my heart and spirit even more.

Hey y'all, To begin, I hope this post is in the right thread ! I just figured out it could be fun to have a discussion about the differences people saw between two continents that might look the same from an external point of view. It's not to decide which one is best, but only because I like to...

I've learned that while having a job six months out of the year making 2k a week if not 3k sucks . I left corporate America behind years ago . The hey I see it I buy it and own it mentality . When I sprawl out next to my doggo on a high ball screaming into the night ? What the hecks better than...

There is a KMart near my house that has been shuttered for years. Squatting it is probably a felony waiting to happen right? or is it doable.

I'm wondering what some of the cheapest bars in the country are. When traveling I usually hit the liquor/beer store and find a nice quiet place to duck out and drink, because it's more cost effective than bar drinking, and it's quiet. But every so often I'll hit the bars when I'm feeling...

Howdy everybody. I have felt visceral disgust at the white shit that surrounds me and everything up here in the woods of Upstate New York - the locals call it "snow". Even just going out for a smoke becomes a military operation. My desert boots have soaked to the core, and I start to think: I am...

Hi, I am new to alternative traveling. I want to get to California for the sheer fun of it. However, I have no clue to get there without using a car or a airplane. Both of which are going to cost more than I am able to make. I need some tips and advice on how to travel, lodge, and even get my...

This is a pretty cool story about someone hitching rides on private planes. Thought it would go well with the boat hitching story I posted a while ago. She doesn't mention it but it seems like you would probably have to pitch in for fuel costs to pull this off...

Possibly planning to hitch around South America. Curious to see how many people express interest in this grand adventure.

I had this nice dream, or more of an aim, to reach America per boat. I've read a lot about it now, and I must say that I don't think I'll ever get to that dream and I guess I will just simply buy a plane ticket to cross the Atlantic ocean. Although I do not know yet where I would like to start...

i am starting to wonder if this is my only option. the first thing that comes to mind is by boat, but i dont know if its doable. also, if i get in trouble with the police, what would happen? would i get sendt back here? is there any control when going of the boat? ive hopped a boat once before...

Just watch it. It's about a lot of stuff but focuses on Barry Seal. It's on YouTube. Be sure to smoke before watching it adds to it.
