central america

Anybody have any experience staying in mexico for a while? I'd like to find a job and work and maybe work on staying there more permanently. Anybody familiar with that process? Is it as much a pain in the ass as we make it for people coming into the US? Either way, people do find ways to do...

I'll be dirtbagging it there pretty soon, taking the boat from Belize. Obviously I plan on hitting the bay islands but for budget reasons don't plan on staying there too long. I'd love to hear about experiences hitching, or the feasibility of stealth camping (done it plenty in Belize, only got...

Hey there! My father got offered a job at the international school on Grand Cayman this summer and I plan on coming along. We're planning to buy a ship of our own and sail down there since the cost of parking in the marinas is way cheaper then rent. We are more vagabondy though (especially me)...

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...

Anyone been to, or know anything about these islands? I was offered a trade for a private 5 acre island along with a registered US inport export corporation in trade for my farm in WA.

Howdy Weirdos! Some dear friends and I just bought 1-way tickets to the Dominican Republic. Any recommendations for specific spots to check out? Where's the epic waterfalls and unparalleled hiking spots?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, please let me know if there is a better place to ask this. Anyway, how strict is it crossing the Mexican border? Do they check people walking over for warrants and stuff like that? I've always been curious how people facing murder charges and shit like...

Wondering if anyone knows anything about being homeless in the Virgin Islands? Is it doable or do the wealthy inhabitants of the island just incarcerate Vagabonds on site or smell.

Right, so my job lets me work online. It's very expensive to live in the US, and I think there is increasing possibility (perhaps not likely but trending towards plausible) that the US is will undergo severe decline if not collapse relatively soon. Belize. It's not too expensive to live, and...

Here I am back after a while. I just saw this video posted on my friends wall on facebook. I thought that it may be interesting for you. It's about a group of friends traveling across CR for 3 weeks. I hope you enjoy it.

@dmac66 and @Tude were interested on watching some pictures of my country. So I tought it may be interesting for other to take a look too. Some of them are really old, i'll try to upload newer ones. Most of them are from the beach or the north zone

I am heading to Panama City early November, planning to tramp around for a few months. Just wondering if anyone is down there, or if there is any advice someone may have, as it will be my first time!

I'm thinking about heading south to Key West come June and from there hopping onto, hiring, stealing, buying, some form of boat to the Caribbean. I don't know much about the place (all of my travel has been in the states), other than its warm, there are beaches, and one can perhaps drink and...

In summer 2002, my grandparents were kind enough to send me on a 2-week trip to Mexico City to explore and experience life beyond "these United States". I'll be returning to Mexico later this April. During my last trip to Mexico, my father and I were able to get into Cuba by bribing a series of...

Has anyone ever done any alternative travel in the Bahamas? There are a lot of really cheap flights and I was thinking about going for a week or two. I don't know if it's decent for camping, etc. or if it would just be a huge pain in the ass because everything is touristy and costs money. Is...
