america

Hello! I am a 19 year old college student from NY, hitchhiking with my 22 year old friend headed to the Pacific Northwest. I've been on the road since the 18th, and have documented every detail of my journey on my blog (www.hitchhikingamerica.webs.com). Every single day has been amazing so far...

Utah here, new to the site. Been in Oregon this winter and looking to getting back on the road. I havebeen Rubbertramping now for Six years in my 1992 Dodge Van. Will be leaving Oregon in two weeks to head to Yellowstone area. I have secured a summer job at a resort there, need to make cashfor...

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...

i wasnt sure where to post this, but this looked like the best place. can anyone here whos been living on the streets in both europe and america tell me the difference? im planning on going to america and just living there/ traveling the place, but i dont really have any experience. im going...

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.

So I know a lot of you have revolutionary ideas about the U.S. and my own personal belief is that it is next to impossible(Being that, even if you get past the military, the media and the local police, you have over-zealous patriotic Merikunz ready to pick up their guns against you) but what...

So I just got back from Tenn/Southern Texas/Northern Mexico recently and I want to go down there for a longer period this time, anyone between NYC/Texas want to meet up and head south before the real cold hits?

how could i get into south america? like peru, argentina, brazil, or wherever the coolest south american country is.. could i hitch/trainhop thru mexico into south america? anyone have any experience doing this? or if you have a boat/plane and are going anywhere but north america and have an...

Has anyone done extensive traveling from the US or Canada in a van or RV deep into Mexico, Central America, or even as far as South America?

Anyone know of any? Hippie or not, where not money, but time, is how you earn food/shelter and what not. I am looking to join one eventually, one that plants it own food, Prefered in Mexico or Central America as warmth is always an issue for me, i need the sun! Thanks in advance.

Hey, so i have been down there a few times but im finally going to go when im off probation with NO money rather than hostel money this time. For those of you(which im assuming is most) who crossed the border on foot or got let off at the border as soon as you got into Mexico, how many of you...

What would I need to know about doing this? Is it especially difficult? Is there a big stigma or unfriendliness regarding hitchhikers? Any general tips, advice, things to loom out for, things to know? Any help would be great. I have a passport.

Is it possible for me to stay in America for over the 2 month visa limit. I mean, I'll be backpacking and living off the road. What would happen if the police ask for I.D. (I've got a British Passport), and I've stayed over my visa limit. Also, how hard would it be getting a job for a British...

My brother and I are biking across the US making short films on alternative community living. We made several shorts, which you can watch for free on our Web site: www.americarecycled.org , and are soon leaving New Orleans and heading west to find more inspiring people to work with us on the...
