west coast

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...

Hi there! I'm Tria, I'm a 33 y/o trans person and I just recently reached Los Angeles after leaving The Twin Cities. I'm planning on travelling up and down the coast with my partner for a while and hopefully focusing on writing and making music (I bought a banjo years ago and always wanted to...

I joined this community to try and get information on train hopping out to the west coast. I am thinking about leaving after the spring semester of school. I've never been to the West Coast and want to get out to Washington and maybe a bit of Cali. Pretty brief but lmk if ya'll have suggestions...

Hello travelers! I'm currently in Nashville probably gonna hitch west to Memphis but my goal is to get to San Francisco with a little detour up north through Denver/Boulder toward Bozeman Montanna and then cutting west to the Pudget Sound area of Washington and riding the coast south toward SF...

Trying to get to LA from central jersey idk if theres private messages on here but can someone hook it up with a good rail map? Thank you

Hey folks, Taming the Tiger here. I grew up in a boring suburb of LA where my bright yet scattershot, weird, autistic self stood out like Jehri Curl on a tuxedo. I lived in other places for six years after high school, came back after giving up on what I thought was my dream, got my driving...

Hey, y'all! My name's Bats (or Batshit). I'm getting close to the end of my senior year of high school, and I've done a tiny bit of traveling so far. During winter break, my brother and I visited the Slabs for a weekend (2 full days, 3 nights, plus 2 days to get there and back). My spring break...

any advice, tips, possible meetups for traveling this time of year? heading south, I'm a 22 year old newbie. -thanks, peace and love

There's another thread, but everybody in it seems to crash at their parents places. I'm looking for actual squatter friendly areas in the US, hopefully find work as well.

I am taking a few months off in a week to live out of my backpack and be with nature. I was thinking about the Sierras however Yosemite is on fire.... Where is the best spot you have ever camped?

I'm a 23 male, going to hitchhike from Seattle to Mexico, but I was wondering, would I have any problems because of my race, from either getting picked up or problems with racism? My parents are from the middle east, and I have similar skin tone to a latino, but I was born and raised in Canada...

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'm Kaine, 23 M, from Indianapolis, IN. Last summer I decided fuck living in the city, can't deal with the noise, lack of space and privacy, and entitled people. For the past 3-4 years I've been working on and off at urban farms and living in a van. Then I got a vision that I'm not supposed to...

I know it is early Spring and the Equinox is brewing, so it is cold where I choose to be. My hope is to learn how to sail while also getting to Alaska. looking for a simple cruise with a knowledgeable boat owner. Is this you, or you know of someone?

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...

Hey all! I'm a big traveler but never hitchhiked before. Looking to explore the free traveling world more so I was thinking I'd hitch up the coast (in LA right now) to SF or even NorCal as a little sampler. I'm a big backpacker/ naturalist so I have all the gear. The only thing I feel a little...

I'm hitching out of eugine Or lookin to get down the coast any advice on routes or cool places to camp or just any cool sites to see this is my first time coming through California

I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer. I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

I feel like if you have no purpose, there's no point in living. I can't help but feel impatient and angered by my surroundings. We all have the common goal of being happy; I know that seeing the world and talking to new people everyday makes me happy. Nothing is holding me back from doing so...

Looking tomeet some awesome beings who enjoy dance, music, and other creative arts. Will be in and around Eugene for awhile then hitting the coast.

Anyone on the west coast, preferably CA or Oregon about to have puppies that they need homes for? I'm looking for a traveling/life companion and a friend for my partners pup since we're moving to a small mountain town and the area we're in won't have any pups around for him to play with daily...

So I am going to be hitching down to the slabs soon for the jambo and I was wondering which highway would be the best one to take? I want to be near the ocean and stuff but I also want to see as much cool stuff as possible. So, weighing the options, what are some good things about either one?

Hello world.

Hey folks, as some of you might know, I've been making plans to do a bike tour down the west coast via the 101 highway. My goal is to bike from Astoria, Oregon to Slab City, California and arrive in time for StP's Dirty Scouts Jamboree in October. I've done a few small bike tours before, but...

Hey everyone, I'm Juls and I'm one of the StP'ers who has been half silently lurking around in the darkness for a year or so, learning a thing or 2, saying something every once and a while but never contributing anything really substantial. I've been reading some of y'alls stories on here and...

Hi folks.. Have wanted to do a west coast trip on my bicycle for a while now and am now starting to plan and get ideas for around end of august, beginning of September this year. Wanting to first off get some ideas on rad places to stop along the way. Plan so far is Vancouver BC downwards to...

I'm considering bike-touring from Twin cities, MN to the west coast (most likely Seattle, WA.) I've never bike toured before, but I'm sick of GreyHound's bullshit. ::banghead:: Right now, I don't have any gear. I don't even have a bike, but I have a lot of time to gather what I need, if I decide...

While searching the web for different sites to use to find travellers like myself wanting to head west, I found this lovely site. In general, me and my partner are stuck in Ohio (worst place to be stuck, mind you) and headed to California! Looking for people that may also be headed that way, or...

Anyone here know how hard it is to build a motorcycle? I am considering building one, because the idea of riding around the country on a motorcycle with my bag sounds awesome to me. I don't know where to start though. Any advice is appreciated.

Heya! So, I'm Koalie and I've been living in Eugene, OR through the Winter but am looking to getting back on the road. (I spent last year hitch hiking and rubber tramping and settled in OR for the past 5 months) I will be leaving to go to Tochtli Fest with a friend in June and then to AZ and...

Hi! I'm Max. I'm a 29 year old dude. I'm looking for a female partner in crime to go on the road with me. I'm starting from Bellingham, Wa. I don't have a specific destination in mind. I figure south along HWY 101 is a good start, but if you have a better idea i'm open to anything really. I plan...

so this will be my first time traveling, and ive never hitched other than short rides locally so kinda clueless as to what route i should take and what states i do and dont wanna go through haha. im planning on starting out in a couple weeks, some legal troubles have set me back, but any and all...

I am new to this site. My name is Olive. I dwell mostly in the NW and have a generally nomadic lifestyle. I've been traveling the coast over here for the last few months (or longer- hard to tell). I am a traveling model for most of my income (shwanky). I am into circus arts. I spent the last...

It seems like everyone in my area has this desire to go to the west coast. Don't get me wrong, I've heard alot of cool stories from places out west. I'm just wondering if it really is as awesome as what people make it out to be and if it'd actually be worth putting the effort to make it out there.

I'm at a lost of words as to how I would go about this. As introducing myself is no easy feat. Yet I doubt that my soul differs from others whom share wanderlust and find themselves unable to conform or accept this meager illusion of this accepted reality. It's been nearly 3-4 years since I...

I live in Indianapolis & I was wondering if it was safe to hitchhike. I was gonna try going by car or simi by first going south & then West I mainly wanna see the country

Hey guys, my plan is to make my way to Nicaragua, rent a small apartment and stay there for a while. After looking at the prices for plane tickets from Canada it occurred to me that the further south I get the cheaper the ticket will be. Plus, I think a journey down the west coast United States...

Where: San Francisco, Golden Gate Park When: March 2011 So me and my girlfriend would like to do a bit of a gathering this year. We haven't really had any for a while, and it's been fun to do in the past. However, I'd like to do something a little different from previous STP gatherings. It...

Hey all, In the past year I've been hitchhiking all over, never really staying in one place long enough to relax and do certain things. I'm on the west coast these days and have this urge to stay somewhere for a month or two, take a little rest and play my guitar full time. Anyone knows where...

Maybe one of the most influential power violence bands from the west coast in th last ten years is ACxDC. Theyre having a reunion show this saturday in LA. Stoooooked. Oh yeah! and going to be selling vegan wraps asian and mexican style.
