    What are your experiences like hitchhiking in Alaska?

    When I turned 18 I hitchhiked from WA to Portland OR. After lots of soul searching I decided to go to Alaska. I stayed all around the Kenai Peninsula for almost 3 years before returning to WA. I met lots of very nice and a few not so nice folks. I worked for housing and made work connections...

    Solo Female Travelers

    So Ive found that there is an extremely important conversation that we need to have with our wonderful community. Before I begin with this discussion, I want to point out a few disclaimers: 1.) I am a cis-male, and I can only speak from my own personal experience with road dogs and opinions...

    So about a year ago a friend of mine came to visit me for a weekend and bought a sail boat, 26 feet long, low to the water, with a working Honda outboard of 8 hp and the sail and the dignhy for 2k. To keep it in the harbour where it was, the Lil'Seabird (the boat) had to have a local owner...

    Any advice for a queer kid hitching solo?

    I'm starting from Florida, going to try to make it to Nevada by this time next year. As a lady-bodied queer flying alone, there's always that paranoia of getting picked up by zealots or loons and getting raped or killed (the media has ruined my imagination, apologies). I feel like a lot of...
