My moment was in Switzerland. It's mid January 2020 and all of my focus is laid on free solo attempting Mont Blanc in wintertime. But first I need to get there. Bumming hitchhiker from town to town, all geared up in winter alpine gear. Just around Lozanne, a black, square Jeep pulled up with...

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...

I'm doing a presentation on an NZ musical aspect for my music classes and I chose Night-Gaunts, I'm wondering if anyone from the NZ punk scene have any stories of them that I can use as a reference. Any stories or opinions helps even if it's a little tidbit. :)

This is a little story I got about my first bike trip I did back in July. It took me 4 days and 1 night and I went from Düsseldorf to Munich, around 720km (447 miles for you Americans :). I'm not that great at planing trips so I just packed my bike and went for it. I followed the Rhine river...

When I was a kid, I remember school myths of “the hobo in the woods”, and we’d all snoop around this chainlink fence by the woods searching for this imaginary hobo, that probably never existed. Ironically, I am now that hobo. Except I’m not camped out by an elementary school. (That would be...

I haven't been on here much over the years, but I've been starting this new project and I thought of you folks. I'm publishing a short story magazine called New Maps. (Yeah, I'm apparently a publisher. It's weird to realize.) And I know some of you on this site are seriously creative and good...

So my latest journey took me around 600 miles afoot across Southwest Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Northern Georgia. I started out of Knoxville and walked to the Smoky Mountain National Park and proceeded to hike a series of side trails, then decided to hop on the Benton Mackeye Trail...

______The title isn’t clickbait. About a year ago today, I was a diehard Nazi. To understand how it happened, I’ll give a little background into what kinda person I was, and what was going on in my life at that time. _______I had begun to take interest in right-wing politics around the age of...

Hi everyone. My name is Lazerskull. I have been hopping trains since 1995. It's been awhile since I've been back. I know there are quite a few dumbasses on the rails now selfie sticks and all hanging from the sides of box cars. I'm not one of those! I was 14 on my first ride up to Dunsmir from...

Hello once again! Once again, I have written a short story that I would like to post here for your enjoyment. This one is a little longer than the first one, but I am sure it will grasp your attention right to the end. The idea for this story was given to me by a close friend for use in a...

Was out traveling on the west coast with my boyfriend (Kyle) and his partner (Ryan) at the beginning of the month, and this is one of the creepier stories from that trip. We decided to drive through the night from San Fransisco to Portland, so we fixed up the back of the SUV into a lil sleepin...

I'm pretty sure general travel-themed/road songs have been discussed before, as have many other topics about music. But I'm wondering - do any of you have specific songs that strongly remind you of specific travel stories or memories? I'll start - Train Under Water by Bright Eyes reminds me of...
