Hey, I am an 18 year old student from Prague. Hitchhiking and mostly fr8 hopping recently caught my eye. I’d like to get some tips for doing this in Europe and meet some great people on this site. Let’s see where the wind takes me

Hello! Recently the squatter/hobo lifestyle (is that the correct terminology?) recently caught my eye. I've already been doing some research on here, but anything helps! Work/ways of making money on the road, food, clothing, hygiene, ways of transportation, etc.! I understand that you learn...

Hello, I've recently been introduced to the hobo/squatter (is that the right terminology?) lifestyle and it recently caught my eye. I've been doing some research on traveling methods and other basic information but anything helps. Tips on hygiene, methods of travel, food, work/ways of making...

My partner just bought an 89 ford flair RV. She runs great, if a little rough around the edges on the inside. Our plan is to do some repairs and fix up the inside and be on the road within a few months. We will be full time, staying in the PNW area. I've squatted and done some vanlife and...

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted. Now a road trip to Canada has come up, always wanted to go to Newfoundland and now seems like a good time, since I have just bought a van again after 6 years and settling back into the road nomad life. Any tips for van parking, free or cheap...

Hello everyone, I saw this website when searching about how to travel cheap by hitchhiking or train surfing, but I haven't got enough points to look and the private train hopping post though so I am asking here. My friends and I are planning a budget-friendly trip through some of the...

Hi, local weirdo enby burnout here. I'm in bit of a mixed bag situation, things are real weird for me, and kinda always have been. I was one of those ghetto kids who ran the streets at 3am breaking into abandoneds with fellow deadbeats, so I'm not entirely helpless. But at the same time, we...

Ive already hitched twice on freeways, im looking for advice for large highways like I90 because thats the next goal.

Seems like the question comes up fairly often here- Any tips on hitchhiking? I would first suggest people check out the Hitchhiking Megathread sticky post at the top of the Hitchhiking Forum that @Matt Derrick has compiled. It's a fantastic list of resources on the subject that are quite useful...

Ive hitch hiked twice before and some tips would be greatly appreciated👍

In 2018 I cracked a squat in the center of the French Quarter. No crowbars, no drilling locks, no broken windows. Clean. Efficient. It's even a government building. All I had to do was get elected mayor. Shit, they've flown me first class all over the world and never even had to pay a dime or...

I am a university student and have been spending the last 4 months focusing my projects on squatting - aiming to educate myself on something that I previously must admit was very ignorant to. I am aiming now to create a zine-like publication/handbook which aims to briefly advice on the tips...

Tl;dr how to make a spooky cabin more cozy while treading lightly? I’ve recently acquired de-facto possession of an old cabin on a riverbank. I don’t want to give away the location but it’s actually a semi-famous building with a really interesting history. Inside i found Brochures from 2019...

I've done my reading by this point, apparently the city is tearing itself to pieces trying to keep up with the rate of abandonment. Theoretically, it should be pretty easy to squat a house. At the same time has anyone been there recently? Are there spots, green flags, is there a good way to go...

I found this article while lost in some internet rabbit hole during the summer. I saved it as I thought it was very good, and I was worried the site it was on would go offline, as it looked like it hadn't been updated in years. I think it will be of interest to a lot of people on this site. I've...

Newshit kid here. Its cold as Santa's ass out here. I live in Michigan for context, so yea it's pretty easy to get your ass frozen to the concrete while you're takin' a dump (don't ask.) Anybody got any advice on how to stay warm out here? Perhaps more advice than just "wear a coat, dipshit."...

Hey everyone, I recently graduated from college and I’m saving up money as a DoorDashing driver so I can pursue my dream of living nomadically and visiting every county in the United States. I’ve already completed 13 states and I plan to finish up the East Coast next year. Most of my friends...
