traveling

I am new here and still kind of new to traveling on my own. I was born in Tennessee and spent most of my life there. I am traveling with a wheeled luggage bag for my laptop, my cameras, etc. And a shoulder bag with a few shirts and a coat. I've couchsurfed, stayed in hostels and airbnb, slept...

In my younger days, when my family got together for Thanksgiving we'd take turns saying what we are thankful for in the past year and I thought it would be interesting to see what the misfit travelers on this site are thankful for. I'll start... I'm thankful for my friends (Matt and Sara) that...

Hey, anyone have any tips or spots you’ve done well at before? Also, anything to see or do in Kansas I shouldn’t miss?

Name is Giovanna. With that said, feel free to shorten my name or call me by my forum handle. Happy to finally be sitting down with this introduction. I've only been browsing here and there. Looking to make connections and give back as much as I am able. Currently in Roswell, New Mexico. Will...

I spent some time in my early twenties drifting around the east coast and the Midwest (Boulder, CO was great) and then went back home to Dallas to try and build a normal life. Well, my career is at a standstill and my bank balance is a negative number. I'm not really in the rat race mode...

I'm going to Denver in a couple of days. I'm wondering if anyone knows of safe places to sleep outside, being able to set up my tent would be nice. I didn't know train hopping was still a thing until recently, and I would also be curious about getting from Kansas City to Denver without buying a...

I took a break from traveling for a year after my dog was shot by the police in Fenix city AL and now I'm on what road again. I'll be hitting the Appalachian Trail first. Is anyone there already? My buddy Banjo Jack and I will be doing a bit of a stretch, no through hiking cuz we've done it...

I've lived in squats for the past two years. It's a way of living thats always been dear to my heart and has brought me a lot of friendships and experiences. I lived in one particular squat for almost a year, so last march I decided it was time to move. from here: to there: by foot. It...

I am planning on travelling this summer out west and I was wondering about any places or towns you would recommend visiting (or some natural sights close to these places.) I will be visiting Seattle, Portland, Arcata, Boulder, Albuquerque, and San Antonio. Let me know of any places around there...

Hi, my name is Becky! I am 23 years old, and I've been traveling since I was 19. (: I am currently stuck in Las Vegas, NV but we're trying to get to Madison, WI where we would be off the streets! Feel free to ask any questions you like, I will answer honestly and sincerely. (:

A threat for times we experienced racism in travelers from rides, housing/ crash spots, other travelers, police, and people - in general. Me traveling the way I did, I never tried to hitchhike or anything. But, I can say I've been denied places to stay because I feel like there was racism...

Hi guys, i travel around in a 40ft skoolie. Been livin the travelin', busking lifestyle for about 7 years. I love it. It can be rough, but I think it builds character. I want to thank many of you, for being you. I've been quite inspired to live my life by all the dirty, krusty, freight...

So I am at home trying to make some money so I can travel hopefully overseas. My mother says I should try going to a place like Asheville and living there for a little so I can get used to living on my own and being independent. I eventually want to travel to Russia for about a month or two and...

So I'm new here and don't get online often but this seems like a cool social media site and if someone could help me out I'm looking for a way to get to U.K from mid-west USA or maybe Canada without spending all the money I don't have. I was hoping to go within the next two months after a cross...

Hey, I'm Cat, hitched 8k miles solo, and decided to make a video about why I love hitchhiking. Because if you've hitched before, you know that our most common question we get asked is WHY?!? It's hard to explain to every ride, because the reasons are so vast (at least for me) so here's my...

Hello all, I would like to write and subject articles for this site. That was the idea when I thought this up, but honestly these subjects may not be considered "article material" for this site. That hardly matters, though. These are subjects that aren't getting the attention they deserve...

Hey everyone here's another question for the community. I've writing a small section for my book about why people should travel. I'm not necessarily asking why you travel (although it's helpful if you post that too), but rather what would you tell non-travelers to convince them to travel. why...

Have couch if you are traveling. Looking to get out of here soon though, can't wait to meet everyone on this site. Fuck my job, my family, my life, I am so done with capitalism. <3 Gabe
