vagabond

In my yrs Iv found myself in and out of houselessness. Alot of factors have been in play here. I have desires of a homestead someday but for now I’m lead towards a bit of rambling. So I’m here to seek similar folk and maybe gain some such to travel along with or anyone willing to help me get to...

Hey y'all, Made it to Delaware planning on spending a year or so, have small campervan, incredible abandoned structures exploring here. Anyone come through feel free to connect. Kayaking is great here and drift wood plentiful to build raft and take down to sea. Had other account before, lost...

Howdy I'm looking for a travel companion I'm 24 male. I worked as a mechanic for 4 years. I play guitar write and sing. Im interested in getting into train hopping. In the past either I walk or hitchhike my way around right now I'm resting and gathering supplies in boston. Thanks Vince

Solidary greetings to all you friends and folks on the road! While researching yesterday about the old and modern Hobo way of life in the USA, I have stumbled accidentally on this site and I am very excited to get involved in this community! Already for a couple of years I am organized in the...

The number one thing I underestimated about this life is how hard it is to keep your phone charged. My journal updates slowed to a crawl and eventually a halt, as well as anything less essential than calls, texts, and maps. Tonight I decided to go soft and get a cheap motel room, so I'm writing...

My mom called and said she's worried about me being manic, flights of fancy and all that. I had a whole trip planned out but she said a $40 motel doesn't sound safe. I am bipolar, mental health is really important to me (I have a mental health first aid certification! but it's hard to do first...

Very introverted follower, I barely ever talk to people anymore since I got dropped out of highschool looking to get a new perspective and cant think of a better time to start than now:)

Pit stop at the papitos house to put these bug nets on. Yes, they're very fucking janky but if it works it works, amirite? $6CAD exterior window netting from Canadian Tire and Gorilla tape $4CAD

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 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...

Has anybody bought Matt’s book an anarchists guide to travel and if so is it worth using over the Vagabond Bible 2018?

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, has a population of about 500,000. It’s a perennially popular tourist attraction, with visitors drawn by the city’s dramatic architecture, its vibrant cultural life and fascinating history. The city is home to the famous Fringe Festival, loads of cool...

Waking up this morning was hard on me. I had slept half the night behind a side of a strip mall which didn't seem the local Leo's were to Keen to be watching, only to wake shivering as these drier climates have no mercy as they can be hot as hell in the daytime but cold as an iceberg before the...

The Night I Brought Home A Homeless Stranger (A Squat The Planet Exclusive Adventure!) I had just started my Sunday night shift as a city bus driver in St. Paul, MN. It was a cold January night in the New Year 2020 with some snow flurries falling. The night was a little busier than usual...

Dear People of StP, Howdy! My name's Aidan, and I'm new in town. On a more serious note, it really is a pleasure to be a part of the forum. I was looking around for stuff about squatting, and I happened to stumble upon this website. The resources section led me to r/vagabond as well...

Last summer I was practicing hand drill (primitive friction fire for you lubbers) while we were doin a yard sale and an old guy came over, asked me what I was doing and introduced hisself - Greg May, former teacher of the WSU wilderness survival program. I saw him around the rest of the summer...

Hi, I’m new here. I’m looking for advice on where the best places to jump a train from Colorado to Seattle? And crust squats in Seattle? My ex (11 years) said everything has changed there, and all my old crust punk friends have moved. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

And I mean everyone, even The Man. Just a thought experiment, not to be used as an argument against the lifestyle. What would happen in the first 24 hours, month, year, decade, and century?

After a long couple of months, the ex-girlfriend has finally decided to let me keep Finch. Finch being the first bus we purchased together and converted into a home. It’s named after my best friend Cody John Finch Kandler who originally inspired me to live the lifestyle of a vagabond . Finch...

saw this post on reddit's /r/vagabond today and thought it might be worth reposting here for anyone that was interested: Hitchhiking across Russia (self.vagabond) submitted 23 hours ago by lonelyhoncho I’m about to go on a gap year and am thinking about hitchhiking across the whole of Russia...

I wasn't sure if there's a better forum for this, so feel free to move mods if it's more applicable elsewhere. I am planning to start up my blog again, and I was thinking of a different way to present content that hasn't really been done before (a difficult thing to do nowadays). I came up...

Hey guys I'm so excited to find this!! My wanderlust is insatiable so I travel as much as possible! Home base is outside of Buffalo, NY. Fiancé and I spend a few months traveling by motorcycle or car across this beautiful country in the winter. We usually live in a tent or couchsurf with...

I want to dive head first into the volcano that is my fucked up head. Im on the 2 months work 2 months play life style. I think im addicted to it. Part of me wants to be a contributing, decent member of society, but eventually greed takes control. My desire for freedom consumes me. I can blame...

Hey fellow travellers. Im an Australian traveller constantly afflicted with itchy feet. I've been travelling Australia, south east Asia, India and Europe the last 10 years and its finally time for me to check out the Americas. In Australia I usually live and travel in my van and make my living...

Hey Everyone Name is SuneeShines. I have been reading STP for a few months because travel and adventure is just really interesting to me. I don't really have any qualms with working my dead end jobs (as long as I can start in the Afternoon). I don't have a wanderlust that can only be...

Greetings, STP fam! While my website is in the process of a lengthy overhaul, I thought I'd share some of my experiences here. My name is B and this is my new version of the "American dream". Nearly a year and a half prior to this post I had what some would call the "American dream". I was...

About a week ago I bought a 1985 Chevy G20 Tahoe on Craigslist for about 1600. It's got 113k on the odometer, but the engine and tranny only has 15k, not in the best condition otherwise, but I bought something that needs work so I can gain the mechanical experience. Things I need to fix are...

Hey StP community! I'm Riley, and I'm super excited to be posting this cause it means I'm about to start my travels again. I'm leaving home and going on an "endless" adventure, to not have a plan is the plan, and I'm generally starting around the Olympic Peninsula and working my way down...

I imagine that some people who check this place also check www.reddit.com/r/vagabond. I have been around there for a while, didn't had a user until a few days ago. I thought it was a good place to comment every now and then so I created one. I had read that people complained a lot about the...

Just saw an excerpt on TV about this - thought it was interesting - so I went searching... Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and John Burroughs (naturalist and activist for conservation movement) and other notables of the era had Summer traveling/camping trips from 1915 to 1924...

Somebody needs to preserve the culture and it might as well be me. I've been traveling homeless for a little less than a year now. I started in a van and ended up hitchhiking. Now I've just hopped my first freight train (WITH A TON OF CAREFUL PREPARATION) and I just fucking love it. Anyway I'm...

Watch first: I hate to be the one to do this, but I have to call bullshit on Tomislav Perko, and I'll explain why. I've read alot of his articles and interviews in the past, and this TEDx Talk is the last straw that breaks this camels back. First of all, it's a bit misleading for Tomislav...

http://wanderlusters.com/vagabond-across-new-zealand-125/ New Zealand encompasses some of the most beautiful lakes, mountains, and countryside on the planet. However despite the obvious appeal, a high cost of living and elevated travel costs can deter visitors who long to explore these diverse...

I will spare you all my reasoning for wanting to choose this lifestyle. I'm sure you have heard it all before. I'm currently a Junior in High school, with a job. I plan on leaving this town behind the day I graduate next year, and what should I do to prepare for doing so? Besides making enough...

I read around the web - how long distant travelers with empty or near empty pockets gradually make their way around the globe. This fills me with a very healthy envy but sparks my travel button at full throttle. my curiosity though has always been how the hell do they manage to scrape together...

So i know a few people have done it on minimal budgets on here, i would like to hear your story, details and everything:) No matter how long it is.
