Think I'm gonna head out to mainland Europe again fairly soon, need some inspiration for where to go though... anyone know any cool places they recommend? Radical farms, beautiful landscapes, good squatting communities, street festivals, good folk/metal/punk scene etc.?

Hi squatters of the planet, misfits and fellow guardians and representatives of openmindedness and free spirits. Being a Dane who went away from his country and birthplace at the age of 19, just to find that the world has so much to offer that isn't available in Denmark, I've become a wellknown...
I found this and saved it offline, but now the page doesn't seem to be there anymore. Anyways, I thought I'd post it here in case it helps anyone.

Hi, I am an Irish squatter, updating on how things are going in Ireland;
The squatting scene here is really taking off, its legally a civil matter until injunctions or ejectment orders are issued. So legally its very similar to the UK before the law changed. There is a massive homeless crisis...
Hello, I'm travelling to Sofia in about a month and I'm in search of squats (don't really know if there are any), underground and anarchist movements or anything of the like. Not exclusively though, any nice place suggestion would be greatly appreaciated!
Just a bit of silliness here. I found this American guys lists of things he observed whilst on a visit to the UK. Like it says, some are a bit far from the truth. Although it might feel like a foreign land and the people of Cornwall would love it to be an independent country, it is actually...
Hey everyone!
My name is Rytis, I'm planning a small trip around Europe in a week or so and would like to get some tips :) As I'm lithuanian and it's not the best place to start hitchhiking from here (as for a first-timer), I'm taking a bus to Berlin, staying there for a few days and starting...
I've been here in Florence for a few days, and maybe it's just me or the rainy weather, but I'm ready to ditch the idea of going further south to Rome. A younger guy I met at the hostel I'm staying told me it would be worth my time to check out Rome. He's from New Zealand backpacking around the...
Anyone know of any decent squats or punk houses in London? I am traveling solo and this will be my first time in London... any ideas would be very helpful!
So in early Jan I'm flying out to Barcelona to get the hell off of the same continent I've been traveling around in. That's not the point though. A lot of people ask about the visa situation, including me, so I thought I might as well get a thread going on everyones different ideas and methods...
Anyone in Rome, Italy into the underground urban art scene? I've got some friends back home that do it and it's piqued my interest! Curious/want to try it out.

Hey community,
At the end of April I will be hitching from NY to TX for the first time in the states. I am stoked to see how this goes and hopeful to meet other drifting types along the way. If anyone knows of other travelers going a similar way I would love to connect and maybe share stories...
Pretty cool - I'm sure there will be more out there on this with some better video.

Hey guys,

So, I'm heading off to Bucharest in a few days and I was wondering if there's anywhere nice I could go to. I'm mostly looking for a squat, an underground music scene etc. Only place I could find so far is "Carol 53".

Hi all,
As I mentioned in another thread, I'm currently in Ukraine and will be making my way down to Istanbul shortly, then plan on hitching/camping across Turkey through most of July. From what I read on hitchwiki, it's paradise.
