    Featured 5 months in the land down under

    In July 2016, I set off to Melbourne, Australia to study at one of the uni's there for a semester. And man, lemme tell you, it's been one heck of a ride. I was a little bit bummed out that I'd be stationary in Melbourne studying for most of my time there, but I had a pretty small course load and...

    Hitching out of Upstate NY

    Hey guys, I have experience hitchhiking, with (obviously) mixed results. NYS however, has always proven to be a challenge for me compared to other parts of the country. I'm about an hour south of Rochester, in a rural area. Does anyone have any experience hitching out of this part of NY? I am...

    dressing nice while hitchhiking

    I have noticed that the nicer I look, the faster I get hitches. For a while, I only had one white shirt that quite quickly became a dirty brown shirt. The longer I traveled, the dirtier it got, and the longer it seemed to take to find a ride. I eventually ended up losing the shirt somehow (sadly...

    Is it a dumb idea to travel with a duffel bag?

    Okay so like I'm about to be homeless so I figure I might as well make the most of it. I'm gonna take what little money I have and book it. Problem is I'm not entirely sure what I should spend on and what I'll be okay with out. I already have a shitty tent and sleeping bag and a duffel bag I can...

    My experience hitchhiking with a folding bicycle

    This was an okay method for travel, but it was kinda half assed. While I had the benefit of bungeeing my backpack to my strangely shaped bmx sized bike, I was getting passed by mountain bikes, and played leap frog with joggers as I took smoke breaks. Hitchhiking was awkward because of the bike...

    Hitching the West Coast 5 or 101?

    So I am going to be hitching down to the slabs soon for the jambo and I was wondering which highway would be the best one to take? I want to be near the ocean and stuff but I also want to see as much cool stuff as possible. So, weighing the options, what are some good things about either one?
