Hello, I'm 24 years old and originally from Houston. I'm a fan of David Lynch, cartoons, and failed socioeconomic policies. I can't afford to live here and my lease is up. I have some friends back in Texas, so I'm inclined to head back there. I'm planning to travel down the west coast and then...

I’ve been traveling around a my first week and I’m in Houston need a spot to get out the rain. Was put out of my last one that I had found by some unruly owners when I did nothing wrong to them so looking for some help.

I just heard about this and though Austin, TX is a little far to travel for me I am very curious about how shows happen on a bridge. Any links or info you have I'd be interested.

I'm planning a bikepacking tour from East Texas to Arkansas and back. I'm just curious if anyone would want to join

My friend @Daisy and I stop in Big Bend national park on our way west. The highlight was swimming in the Rio Grande river in the Boquillas Canyon; it's a nice swim if you're in the area.

I visit the infamous art installation "Prada Marfa" near Marfa, Texas. This place is in the middle of nowhere Texas but still draws a decent amount of tourists. Ironically, I didn't know about the lock fence behind the store, which has become another location for lovers to symbolize their...

Howdy ya'll! I'm a pretty solitary settled down dude in Texas currently. I'm pursuing some career changes partly due to the pandemic and just for a general change in life. I've been interested in train hopping for probably the most part of the past 20 years. I've been doing some research on my...

Austin Texas is another one of those cities I never thought I would have spent as much time in as I have, but overall I'm glad I did. It's a great town overall that's easy to find work in, making it a great place to save up money between travels. Unfortunately there's not a lot of punks or other...

Hello! I'm Apollo, I live in Southern Texas, and I'm looking to start traveling the right way. I just turned 18 and I've been itching to get outta here. Any tips or advice are greatly appreciated :) Introduce yourself! I promise I don't bite.

I'm in San Marcos for a second day before heading north. I am going to try and bath one last time, and take care of my bag which is once again becoming a problem. I gotten plenty kickdowns here, alot more than the southeastern half of the US I was in previously. I can say I love Texas, and there...

My trips began as Covid was just starting to get everyone riled up, ... Tampa FL was where I started, went unwisely to the east coast of fl , hitchhiking, very few rides, got to Titusville via one dude and his wife picking me up, kicked me down 100 in greenbacks ... Started making my way up...

There's a abandoned store n the middle of the woods that I been to a few times. It's been abandoned since at least the.late 90s or early 2000s and a abandoned railline runs next to it. If any of my fellow sqautters or freegans need info on it hit me up it's a few buildings down from my house ...

Looking for a hiking partner (i think that is what a road dog is?) To leave in the next few week to trek towards Seattle, Washington! Also looking for tips and pointers!

I been all over the American compass, but one thing i can assure you of: Texas always kicks down the best if youre traveling. Last year they kicked me down almost $500 in 2 hours and i keep coming back to try and prove myself wrong, but these fucking Texans keep proving me right. Theyre larger...

These people just rolled up to the grocery store across the street in a 20' shopping cart complete with a train horn and revs like a muscle car

In like scared of this two in one sink man the fuck

I have no money and I don't want to hitchhike in someone's car and get killed or whatever so how can I get to El Paso, Memphis or St. Louis, on foot or on a bike from Little Rock, Arkansas? I hate this place. I'm broke and I want to start a new life, preferrably in Texas or California.

I always thought this place was a great place to hole up for the winter. Most of the island is available for free camping and north padre has bathrooms and showers you can use for free. Personally I try to bounce before spring break though. Too many frat kids for my taste. Just a suggestion for...

Stranded in Austin Texas trying to find a ride back to San Diego California with my 2 small dogs and cat plus 2 suitcases

I was wondering if there were any places, like squat locations or safe spaces, that I could visit in Houston. I've been to a couple before, but I was wondering if any still exist. Peace, Joel

Although the flooding from Hurricane Harvey was truly disastrous in the Houston area, the severity of the event didn't strike me until I reached Tivoli. Tivoli is a small Texas village in the heart of the coastal cotton growing region. I'd planned to camp there perhaps at the volunteer fire...

Des Moines to Dallas by bicycle. Seven hundred and fifty some miles in two and a half weeks. I left Des Moines on new tires, with a new air mattress, and eighteen dollars. Thanks John. I got to Dallas with sixteen dollars and spent eighty along the way. Also notable was that my new friend Rob in...

Does anybody know if theres china buses from san antonio Texas? We are looking for a cheap quick way to the west coast. Maybe in Austin? Does any body have experiences with them going that far with dogs?

I'm not sure if this is allowed...couldn't find a rule on "asking for tips on finding a van" ;D I'm in Texas and not having much luck acquiring my new home on wheels. I'd love something converted already with a 6 cylinder engine (or that pretty 5 in a Eurovan if I get lucky price wise). I'd...

Back in January of 2017, I got a $1,000 from a car accident. Since I was bored I decided to hit Texas for the sheer joy of it. Life was short and I wanted to have found memories before I die. Thus I began my week and a half trip with a grand in my pocket. No civilization works for free. People...

Hey y'all, I'm Cactus from Texas born and raised and I have no pride or shame in that. I could ramble on for a while, but I will keep my subject based on myself and travel. For most of my life, I have felt really different than the people around me who gave me outlines of school, college...

thinking of crossing the border in McAllen to Reynosa, en route to central america. The region of south Texas seems like a mystery to me, particularly around the gulf. Anyone been? What is going on down there? Also: are the small-town cops really as harsh as I've heard?

So the train hopping was going great, well as great as can be given the stops and having to spend a day or two in every major town to re-supply.

Hey folks, just wanted to let you all know about this interview I did with the Cake or Death Radio podcast. Melanie and her partner drove all the way up from San Antonio to meet up with me in Austin, Texas to chat a bit about the Squat the Planet website, my background, and my personal...

Stumbled on here and saw all the good information. I have done a lot of travel and spent most of my life outdoors and once lived self sufficient. I prefer the simple life and looking forward to retiring like that. Hope to learn a lot here.

Anyone wanna flee the Lone Star state with me?
