Bad news for homeless camps in California.

Hi! single, non smoker, sober -non user/nondrinker (no judgement!) female soon (almost immediately) to be traveler. new to the site, and have been absorbing as much info and sites from the threads as possible! Had this a year ago before my resources and complete life savings went down the...

So, to keep things short, I am at a crossroads. I'm not sure what to do. I live in southern california, and I struggle badly with addiction. I have no means to leave the area officially (moving to another location with housing), and I am afraid I am going to die/end up in a really bad situation...

Hi! Our names are Toast and Mag. We live in a minivan. Lately we’ve been in sacramento area, occasionally in the east bay. We travel for work around california, mostly in summer. We are usually skating at skateparks/diy spots, reading/charging devices at libraries, walking where there’s trees...

So.. little trip update for ya'll on some traveling I did this last week. So I came down to the states from Alaska for a few weeks to visit family and friends and get a break from the cold and dark -- Jan/Feb is when the winter really starts to drag on. Ended up in LA with the intention of...

Hello, I'm 24 years old and originally from Houston. I'm a fan of David Lynch, cartoons, and failed socioeconomic policies. I can't afford to live here and my lease is up. I have some friends back in Texas, so I'm inclined to head back there. I'm planning to travel down the west coast and then...

Family would just like proof of her well being. If she’s unfortunately no longer with us they would like to know so they can have peace and knowledge of what her current situation is.

I’m leaving Bellingham Wa for San Diego California next week, and I’ve never been to California before in my life. Growing up in Idaho it was often described as a hellscape due to the long-standing beef between Idahoans and the Californians that would move in. Any places/people I want to avoid...

It occurred to me that I posted a total of zero travel pics to go along with my ramblings. This is long overdue. The sign that got me over the Mississippi, first time ever hitchhiking. Home, for two weeks. The tiger shirt from Venice. Immediately my favorite shirt and still going strong...

Not sure if this is the most accurate place to post and hoping this post can get the most views here. I need my Prius Prime driven from Los Angeles, California to Flint, Michigan (or close by place in midwest eg Detroit Chicago we can talk about it) sometime mid February or earlier. Looking for...

Hello everyone! Im new here but have had several people recommend it. Im a musician posted in LA with my fiancee. Looking for a place to rent or squat

Hi. I'm facing a divorce and have to leave the house. I've been trying to learn about how to survive if things get bad. It hasn't come to that. I was able to get a van and I plan on traveling a little bit before I settle down somewhere. I just want to celebrate this new phase in my life and go...

Hi all, my name is Troubie and I'm a former west coast car camper. Currently I'm stuck in Sacramento on my way to a college degree. Hoping to gain some wisdom from everybody here and learn about different places and ways to travel before heading back out there. I pretty much stuck to Cali...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where one could stay in California while covid 19 safety precautions are in order. Are any parks or campgrounds open in Los Angeles or anywhere is Southern California? Has anyone gone to the beach lately? I know there are many vanlifers in Cali...

5/18/2020 I haven't really gotten to far out of city in a while and we are headed back north again to go hang with the redwoods. Left SF around noon after meeting up with feast and bails, plan was to make it to the trees we couldn't find last time because of some minor setbacks hah.. Quick stop...

Pescadero This week our plans got all turned around, my work schedule has changed but we didn't want to lose our weekend trip. After the weird wednesday nights dinner push, i ran out the doors of work and we hit the coast. We were meeting Feast and Bailey on the first beach pull off down the 1...

Mendocino Loop #1 We’ve been planning this weekend's getaway since we got back from Gold country. We set out Saturday morning from Oakland around noon. Straight shot up the 101 north. The plan was to walk the abandoned NWP tracks to some derailed box cars along the river bank. The drive through...

Anyone know of any good locations in NorCal? The more remote the better, no high traffic areas. Any suggestions, tips or info would be highly appreciated.

Hi im chris I just moved from utah to California but wanna travel more currently homless

I'm stuck in the sprawling outer edges of LA county near the foothills just chillin with the wild rabbits and coyotes and I definitely need to get out of here soon. Have no clue exactly when I'd be bugging out, or the specific plans other than I'm heading north and probably will be passing...

CW: Drugged via Drink . . . The morning sun filtered through the blinds into Ryan's bedroom. I turned to face them, all swaddled up and cozy in their sheets. I leaned over and placed a kiss on their forehead, and nestled myself next to their chest "Today is going to be a good day." Much of...

I awoke at around 7am in the basement of a house that my friend Tiff had been renting. It was almost cozy enough to fight off the call of another day on the road. Almost. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I super didn't want to take a fucking bus all the way to Las Vegas. I...

"What do you mean you can't take me to Vegas?" "Apparently some other guy got that load, and dispatch is trying to send me to Montana. I'm sorry." I rubbed my eyes and tried to think quickly enough that I wouldn't go into panic mode. I had just woken up to the news that a promised ride after a...

Female travelling alone considering freight hopping. Looking for some genereal advice or tips ( i'm from the UK so i'm not super familiar with things here yet )

The most surprising thing about Salt Lake City was how kind it was to me. A weekend full of lovely coincidences, happy surprises, and a boost of morale that I super needed. Steve dropped me off at a Walmart off of I-15, and I immediately started making my way to the closest gay bar for a cold...

(INTRO) --- I posted a thread in the trainhopping forum last week and mentioned my experience hiking the Pacific Crest Trail introducing me to this community of vagabonds, travelers, wanderers, and free spirits. Several hours later I got a response from a fellow member recommending me to...

I woke up. I heard voices. It was still pitch black outside so it had to be at least before 5am. I looked to the north and saw a flashlight scanning the trees a little ways up the path from us. The flashlight was getting closer. I didn't know what to make of it, I didn't know whether to wake up...

"Ugh if I didn't get tickets to PUP in February I could've stayed in Vegas goddamit." I had just gotten back to Denver after touring California with my band Rotten Reputation, and was faced with the task of heading back almost immediately to LA for a music festival I had said yes to playing a...

FAMILY FELONY by Camo Cowboys Many years ago. They made them move back to the land. Lots of hippy folks. You know, they didn't have much cash in hand. But, they all found a way. To pay the bills and make ends meet. Now they spend their days farming weeds and trying to beat the heat and... Its...

Looking to meet nice folk and learn the ropes. Im here in socal looking to hop out. Would like to meet some like minded people.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for good places to travel in NoCal.

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...

First time hitchhiking ever, I would like to make it from Florida to Cali within the span of a month. I have $50 and a bike. I'm not prepped at all by normal standards and if someone could help me start everything it would be lovely. I'm primarily going from here by hitching and any advice would...

Hey folks. Well, I’m coming close to the end of my first ever hitching trip. It’s been a hell of a ride; I went up the west coast from Palm Springs through Santa Barbara, SLO, Big Sur, the Bay, Arcata, Coos Bay on the 1 and 101, then up to Portland, back down to Eugene, Roseburg, Dunsmuir, and...

Hello new friends, I'm Jay. I'm 39, divorced and live in central Cali. I'll be hitting the road for the first time in around a month. When it gets closer I'll start posting looking for a buddy/buddies for the road. My plan so far is just to head down to San Diego for the summer with a tent...

Hello! I enjoy occasionally traveling and am planning my next excursion. However, for now, I am trying to find Chernobyl Stalkers to interview for a research paper. This place seemed like a good place to start (while getting inspiration for the next trip I should plan haha) Happy to meet you...

any advice, tips, possible meetups for traveling this time of year? heading south, I'm a 22 year old newbie. -thanks, peace and love

Currently in Salinas California and heard differing opinions on the friendliness of the place, wondering what experiences others have had and what they've found to work while they visited? I'm definitely interested in getting over to the beach (thinking by the abandoned military base?) But need...

After attempting to walk to the furthest east edge of Bakersfield from downtown, about a ten mile walk, I awoke the next morning in an undeveloped lot. The previous night was cold but I was certainly warm between my fluffy dog and heavy, zero degree sleeping bag. The morning sun woke me, an...

So we’re stuck in Oklahoma. Our Explorer is in the shitter and needs $800 worth of repairs plus the $700 we already put in that shit shoe. We keep the Explorer for sleeping space which is very helpful traveling with our two furry kiddos. BUT winter is almost passed and we need to get the fuck...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole thing and have been seriously contemplating squatting in a vacant home I found. So the home has been vacant for a year because the owners died. I checked with the county for property owners names, info and taxes. Owners are still the deceased and taxes are...

So I've never actually traveled but I'm currently couch surfing in the city and am absolutely sick of it, I was thinking about getting a gas bike and touring through California. I know some gas bikes arent street legal but some are? I also read that if it doesn't go more than 20mph you don't...

Cali seems to have a unique way of making understanding thier knife laws damn near impossible. Have looked online and the closest thing I found to making sense and not being contradictory was a lawyers site, which proceeded to tell me that different areas may enforce things differently. Wtf. I...

Me and my girl are tired of florida and all the shit that goes on here. We are looking to travel. Destination is Cali but we also want to enjoy the journey. I am new to this and so is she so we want to travel with a group that we can learn from. We are both fun, crazy (the good kind) and weird...
