Hi, guys. I initially came across this board while doing research into the best channels to promote a new web-series about crusty kids on and wish I'd found it sooner... like when I was still on the road. My life has always been almost comically contradictory. I went from being signed to one of...

Finally decided to join after years of lurking, I'm 24, been on and off the road since I was around 17. Not too experienced in train hopping, but have hitch-hiked across most of Canada several times. For the time being, I'm in Saskatchewan preparing for a trip out east. Just thought I'd...

Shit's got really bad here and the only safe place left for me to go is in Quebec. I don't have the time to wait for a fucking passport card or the money to pay for expediting or whatever. People do this. I know people do this. Help me out. Don't care how I get there just need to go now.

If your in Ottawa and looking for gear, check out irvings rivers in byward market. Just bought canadian army bivy and other gear there for good price. Plus owners are nice and will help you out.

i heard that canadian border patrol will deny me entry if i come off as a broke traveling hippie in a van with no destination. but if i say im ''going to grandma's house'' or something, they will require a letter of invitation. if i say i'm a tourist, they will ask to see if i have enough money...

I'm hoping someone can give me advice as a first timer, on where to catch out, where to find a train going from Toronto to Niagara Falls? I feel this would be a realistic goal for a first trip. Has anyone done this? If no one has advice on where to catch a train to Niagara Falls, where is the...

According to this article on hitchwiki http://hitchwiki.org/en/Schengen_Agreement citizens of Canada and a few other countries are legally able to work while in the country. They cite a French government website, and upon reading further, it seems that citizens of those countries are allowed...

I'll be in Montreal tomorrow, January 3, to visit some friends, however, after that I'm thinking about hitching to Vancouver, as I've always wanted to see the west coast. This will be my first time hitching and I figured it would be a good idea to ask for advice and such. About me, I'm 20, and...

Has anyone out there RECENTLY crossed the border between Blaine, WA and Douglas, BC? I've got some past charges that lead me to believe that I may be denied entry to Canada. Do they actually run a background check on you? Is it the kind of border that you could stoll through without stopping at...
