[any mention of Anarchism, really, really pisses off the government, seeing as they watch me so closely these days] Here's my vision and my explanation for such. Let's all agree that modern society works for a vast majority of people. The masses seem to be pretty damn happy whilst subjugated...

Hello! My name is Jai (pronounced as "jay"). I like to draw and take mediocre pictures on my digital camera, Im involved in my local hardcore and punk scene, I'm 18 and fresh outta highschool. I also have an immense love for music. I'm planning to start traveling, I feel that there is really...

Hello everyone, I am the OP of the featured article "Anarchy Newbie..." thread. I think my username back then was "Dontaskme" a relic from TOTSE. I apologize for my last bizarre, rambling post in that thread, I was under severe, severe stress and drinking a lot at the time. I've been around...

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted. Now a road trip to Canada has come up, always wanted to go to Newfoundland and now seems like a good time, since I have just bought a van again after 6 years and settling back into the road nomad life. Any tips for van parking, free or cheap...

It would be my first time truck dwelling in Canada...What are the places to look for as far as truck camping/parking in that area?

Is anyone else going to be at any of the amazing festivals around the east coast of Canada? Im volunteering at 2, staff at a 3rd and then partying way too hard at a 4th and maybe 5th one. Current plan is to be at Not So Thatch Vitality music festival Future Forest Raven Forest? Electric Pines

Moniker may have changed from "Typical Hobo". Andrew is a dangerous person; travelers beware. He has a squatters' rights tattoo under his eye and a several other identifiable tattoos (see photos). The picture where his head is shaved is the most recent. He tried to forcibly undress and have...

Tyler, the king of the road. Ty had a restless spirit that lead him to endlessly travel coast to coast across Canada, busking with his banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, washboard, and a one of a kind, loud, raspy, singing voice. He and his dog Jack made many miles hitchhiking, riding the rails...

Recently ended up in Smith's Falls after hopping an IM that I thought was going straight to Toronto. I wandered into Trinity United Church in town and met some very nice people who offered me a sink-shower and some food/water. The church makes an effort to be welcoming for queer people, and is...

So I'm asking this question about a plan that's years away from being executed, but still gonna ask it. In a few years time, I plan on getting a bike touring setup and doing long-term bike touring around Canada. I plan on going slowly, I have a big long list of places and things I wanna do...

First off, I scoured the site for a forum of international travel and couldn't find any, so I'm really sorry if this isn't the spot for this question! Second, I'm wanting to, at some point make my way to Canada via backpacking, this probably wouldn't be for a while as I need to save up some...

Got kicked off my parents farm close to Wallaceburg recently. They're not easy people to live with anyways. I've also had 2 TBI's in the past decade or so. Life hasn't been the easiest since then. I've done a lot of solo hitching around S Ont on and off for years, but right now Im just couch...

Any crusties on Van island now?????????? Jam/Chill? Ftw

From what I gather, the Northern Territories aren't very good for this. In fact, I just read a story about this guy's cabin being demolished in the Yukon. I've read about people doing this in Northern BC, but that was 20-30 years ago, I imagine attitudes have changed. I've also heard about...

Free Pizza, free liqour. Going to Dawson City. Got 3 seats or 4 seats if you're okay being cozy... or a dog. Got room for cargo too.

I'm curious if anyone is aware of any countryside or even small cities that have a decent punk/weirdo scene. I keep hearing about ex big-city punks fixing up houses in northern Maine (is that happening on the New Brunswick side??) and I remember meeting some grindcore kids who lived in Squamish...

I haven’t researched this much yet but maybe someone else has. This morning I’ve been thinking about how to permanently live in Canada, maybe even gain citizenship, despite me not even being allowed in Canada due to a larceny charge (which occurred at a Rite Aid). I was thinking I cross into...

Hi there! Lately, I've been seriously considering traveling to Canada, specifically the Toronto area. I have a very close friend there who I really, really want to see. He's very important to me, so I'd visit either way, but he's offered me housing if I'm ever in the area, and even told me he...

Does anyone know if it's legal to still camp on public and crown land in Ontario because of covid-19? I read awhile ago in March it was gonna be banned for abit, but I'm seeing online that public campgrounds/RV parking lots are still gonna rent it out to the public? I would like to do some...

This topic came up on the Discord chat and it occurred to me it would be worth linking here. Last year some Canadian universities put together a team to research how COVID and the police are impacting the homeless population. One of their research projects was to make a map showing various...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 1984 GMC Vandura/Citation but they need some sorta inspection of the propane system and a bunch of pictures before they will give me a quote. The one company I've been able to talk to so far that will actually insure RVs doesn't even have the make and...

Hi All, I’m curious if anyone on here has experience driving to Alaska thru Canada while the border is closed. Canada currently allows it if you’re going to school, a permanent residence, or a job. The last option is what I’m wondering about specifically. I’m thinking about going wwoofing up...

What's the word on the street regarding travelling amongst provinces? Is any anyone out there doing it/done it/will be doing it during this pandemic?

Hello lovely people! This is my first post here, but I've been lurking this site for years now.

Does anyone know this town? Saltspring Island. I have no choice, I need to leave my home town, too many expectations about my mental health. I've been travelling before. I need some intel about what to expect. If I do end up on t he Island, it will be to regroup and send people the right...

Hey! I'm 22, and I like messing around outside. I'd love to make some adventurous friends. I'm currently trying to get to know stuff about train hopping, edible wild plants, off-grid camping, and Canadian and US laws about this stuff (to know what my rights are). I'd be jazzed to get any...
