Girls who travel by themselves

[Pixie Walden]

So im going on my first solo trip, it should take about 3-5 days depending on my luck, my dog and i are hoping and hitching from new england to Asheville NC in a week, ive done a good amount of traveling since i started about a year ago, but Ive always gone with a group i am excited about this and id like to hear any stories or advice from other chicks who have gone at it solo.

I'm pretty sure this is a Re-run post, its a good subject though

im a girl and only ride with my dog. started by myself about three years ago, no complaints, big bucks. just grabba knife and stay away from creeps. like of course ive had men try and get crazy but be tough and dont let them think they can make you their bitch. it means new and smarter sleeping locations, second or third thoughts about socialising with stranges. people will offer you money to bone almost daily. but the kickdowns are awesome and the time spent by yourself and animal friends on the road is just..needed.

i ususally go by myself, and i've really never had a problem. You'll get picked up quicker too when your hitching. And traveling alone is good because you have no one else slowing you down, or no one stoping you from doing what you want to do. Traveling alone is a good experience, its good to learn how to do it totally solo and only depending on yourself, and you will learn alot about yourself too. Plus if you have a dog you wont be totally lonely. Good luck dude, hope you have a good and safe trip.

Yeh Ive got my dog , and as for protection ive got a knife and a smiley , im not too worried i know ill be fine, I also agree with the need to just be alone and independent at times, that is the main reason i choose to go alone this time. It will be great bonding time for me and my pup too.

knife & smiley combo FTW. I always suggest pepper spray also. Good luck Pixie, maybe i'll see you in Asheville this spring.

I've posted some shit about my travels solo. But YES the solo trips are awesome, especially with a little woooferoni to accompany you Slurricane pretty much wrapped it all up. Mad cash, mad introspection, and a lot more paying attention to self and surroundings. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine. I've been traveling solo for seven years (maybe a few months here and there with holmes but not really). Hit me up sometime, we might be in the same place and the same time and should kick it. Have fun and don't get scared, it will only hinder you.

I have a penis, but I still follow these rules. I've been on the road for several years now and will walk a little further to avoid the obvious sleepspots, catchouts,
poopstains and other dregs of society. At times it might work for you to look less like a girl (put your hair up or whatever). Sometimes, you can use that
vagina charm to get what you need to get by. Be smart and be safe. Happy travels Lady.

anytime a girl is alone travling you get the hooks for almost anything. just stab a nigga when you have to

 

[Abbie]

Good luck dude. I recently left my road dog in NOLA so i could get a puppy and now I'm in Austin. I'll probably be heading out east by myself as well. This will also be my first time traveling solo. I'm pretty stoked, wish i was more familiar with the rails cause I'd rather just hop instead of hitch but it's whatever. Have fun dude, I'm sure traveling alone is a great experience.

where in new england asheville is right off the highway close to dc shouldnt take more than 2 3 days even from maine never travelled with anyone always by myself hitched my first time ny to fla when i was 15 or so i am 31 now what is travelling in a group like i would imagine it is more difficult.what do i think about girls hitching, sooo easy you bastard if you are 19 and a girl , ichecked, you probably should bring protection, like a knife, even though i dont really believe in that so much ithink what you put out there is what you attract so if youre an asshole then... if not you should be good dc and ashville are great.

 

[Blackout Beetle]

I do it all the time. Get hella kickdowns. But I much prefer rolling with a crew cause it can get boring as fuck.

I'm not a female, but my girlfriend always travels with pepper spray. I think it's just better than having to rely on a knife as it keeps you at a distance from a would-be attacker. She also sometimes carries a flare gun which could be used defensively (or offensively if you want to become a railthug), though you'd have to look into the legality of such a thing.

I definitely echo what slurricane and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmichael said: be weary of who you're with. This goes for everyone, really. I'm not necessarily advocating being a pariah, but don't think the hella chill group of 10 crust lords will lead you to traveling valhalla.

I'm from the UK and i've only traveled alone in Europe but i am sure the same rules apply when traveling alone wherever you live.

Stay safe and warm and i'd advice on the pepper spray too!
