travelers

Hiya! My name is Ellis and I’ve been out west traveling for about three years now. I was born and raised in North Idaho, and got the travel bug when I was 21 after getting into psychedelics. Might see me around playing guitar or chillen. I mostly hang out in Arizona, Oregon, Washington...

I quit my job to prepare for travel....right before lockdown. I have been spending quarantine with my girlfriend until lockdown ends (possibly May 1st here in Indiana). I've been killing some time by playing Animal Crossing: Wild World. Rover is a character who travels and I took a few shots of...

Hi everyone. I've been traveling around for about half a year in the US. Just arrived in So Cal, but I'm feeling restless. I'm working on my writing, and focusing on doing me. I really love being free of feeling obligated to be part of the rat race, doing what they tell you to do, and still...

This was posted on the /vagabond reddit and I'm just re-posting it here to spread the word. If anyone has any info on these two you should contact the reddit user biological_woman "Who go by 'Scoot' and 'Spencer'. They were last seen in Detroit last night. I have no idea where they were going...

I have been reading the posts on here for a while. I’m way too old to hop trains , but StP reminds me of when I hitchhiked here in the US and all over Europe when I was a student in France. As a professor at a major medical school I’m very far from that life now. We have done couch surfing as...

I'm new to the site but not to travelling in the "unorthodox" style we all love. I'm heading from Denver to San Diego this coming Tues and from there i want to pop my Tijuana cherry on foot. Holler back if you have any wisdom or sarcasm (or sarcastic wisdom) to share. Or in the miniscule chance...

Jessie and James here. Leaving today from Philly. Not sure where we're going, hopefully south, getting on a train and hoping it's going our way. Tired of the 9 to 5. Realizing this now in our 30s, lol. We're just looking for fun, friends, music, and good times. No drama, no bullshit. Tricks and...

I'm a nomad with a furpal and I was blessed to be able to help a fellow travelers today to feed his pup and himself. It wasn't much but I'm happy that I was in a position to help. I for sure know how it feels to be on the street with worrying more about my dog than me.

In light of my recent journey, I got the idea to learn how to write grants to have a travelers aid program outside of my house. It's the basic idea of coming up with half the ticket money of whatever a person is traveling by. They have to show me what they're ticket is and half the money, to be...

I just had another life changing epiphany, in this case ablurred car wreck and now ive decided to travel out west, hitting the pacific crest trail, las vegas, slab city, and the coast of oregon among other places. I was looking to see if anyone wanted to meet up along the way and tell me all...

I'm curious how long people stay on the road. Me and @Hillbilly Castro met one old ass motherfucker in Texas claiming to be a Vietnam era bo. Don't know how true that is but he was trying to hitch out so he's on the move at least a bit. I feel like the ones that become old folks usually become...

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...

Me and my road dog are currently in Cleveland Ohio trying to find travelers and other kids for information on the best way to leave. Heading south towards Austin Texas. Any areas we should look or suggestions on leaving? Hitching or hopping it doesn't matter. Let me know.

Summer is upon us and that means its time to ditch those ugly nylon rain ponchos and get ourselves into something more fashionable. First of all black snot rags hung around the neck are so cliche. Let's show the opinionated townies of the world that we have class. Let's swap those rags out...
