Hello STP—
I’m a former traveler looking to travel again and leave Los Angeles. Mid 30s and would love to go somewhere where there’s work, meet up with decent folks, and whatever.
I’m sober, but I’m okay with anyone who is Cali sober/just smokes weed.

36, have rubber tramped all...
Anybody have any experience staying in mexico for a while? I'd like to find a job and work and maybe work on staying there more permanently. Anybody familiar with that process? Is it as much a pain in the ass as we make it for people coming into the US? Either way, people do find ways to do...
I'm brand new to this community, Reddit sent me here earlier today.
At the beginning of the year I quit the job I've been at for the last three years because I hate stagnation and wasn't happy at home. Spent one of the best summers of my life working in Yellowstone and plan on doing seasonal...

Working Stiffs (1989) gave me so much information on how people that work can really devote themselves to their careers and advance in them to become winners in society. A treasure of independent film.
What's your favorite comedy at the moment?
I am considering moving to slab city, and I was wondering if there was anywhere for me to set up a place for sex work, since the police don't come up as often. Would the people of slab city drive me out, or would they be more accepting? I mean no offense, I am just asking before I head up there...
This would be my first time doing it, but I got a heart of gold, a willingness to work, a van to live out of and a beautiful puppy!
Just kind of throwing it out there. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Hey, I'm in cali at my hometown of sacramento and they bulldozed our village of tents on the freeway, so I moved to the other side of the fence so cal trans couldn't say anything and all I have to trip off of is the bulls which never come here and the tourists in town train ride can't see this...

"In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as an AB (able bodied sailor) in the deck...

Okay last thread for awhile, I promise. I was just wondering, what would be some ideas for having a work shed in the backyard? Just something small and simple for working on robotics projects in.
I was thinking of setting up one of those stand-in tents, but that would kill the grass, plus it's...
Okay, so I really would prefer some advice on this one. Any practical advice.
I have all these story ideas in my head, and I want to draw them, but every time I think about the gap between where I am at now skills-wise, and where I need to be at to create my work, there is this sense of dread...
I've heard it relieves things like stress and anxiety, but there's so few studies done on it and so few reliable sources, it's hard to tell.
I once vaped CBD oil, but it was a small percentage, and it didn't do shit to help me focus or stay calm at my old retail job. It actually made my...
You know, I got to thinking, the knife is a fundamental tool.
Not only is it a weapon, but it's also a tool. As a matter as fact, I would even argue that it is more of a tool than it is a weapon. Unless we're talking about a Bowie knife that thing's a fuckin weapon, primarily, there's no way...
Not long ago, on Dec. 30th 2019 I decided to bail out of the current living conditions I was under in south central ohio with no plan whatsoever except the experience of the past encoded in my bones.
With all my trash packed tight in one bag, I hitched a ride from the sticks to a Microtel...
I've got a lot of problems with aa, but I'd like to make it work for me, just because anywhere you go there are meetings, and sometimes you just gotta yell at a roomful of strangers who understand the terror.
I tried therapy, which I think ended up doing more harm than good. Especially...
The STIGMA
The night time always brings with it the doubts and fears that the sun drives away. People instinctively curl in on themselves. Protecting from invisible fears. The daytime glances turn to nighttime glares as the aura of the stigma creeps crawling up your skin like a scaly hand...
Hey people.
I am an ex-full-time-van-person and I’m looking at getting back into one just for the summer next year (2020). However, I’m looking for a contact in France for agricultural work (with which I have a lot of experience) for around the end of May to late September. If I’m not in a van I...
