hi. My name is Zach and I'm writing this from my sleeping bag in the back of my van.
I haven't been traveling very long, maybe 5 months.
I didn't go to college - never felt it had much to offer me - and I joined the workforce right out of high school. After a few years of hating my life and TALKING about wanting to travel, I finally did it. Best decision I've ever made.

I'm here to meet new people, get advice when I need it, simply have a sense of community (gets lonely out here).

Currently in central Vermont for the next, eh, 2 weeks(ish)? If anyone is close and wants to meet up, I'm always willing.

Welcome to STP! Lotta people traveling atm prepping for winter. I'm still seeing some travelers in Rochester NY as it's been rather mild this Fall-ish so far but pretty soon they will be gone. Have never seen New England - vermont, maine, new hampshire, etc areas during the Fall - just admired all the awesome pics though :)

If ya feel like a cross country - there is our Jamboree being held at the slabs in Nihland CA Oct 21 https://squattheplanet.com/fest/

Thanks for the welcome!
This is my first fall in New England and let me say, as a photographer, pictures don't do it justice.
I used to look at pictures of it and think, "surely it can't REALLY be that vibrant."
It is!
Hey dude! Welcome to the nomadic life and StP. Been driving around for 2 years now myself and recently found this forum. It sure helps being a part of this cause it does get lonely haha.
Hey man! Thank for the welcome.
What are you driving around? Have a destination?

Been driving around in a 96 Ford ranger but just about a week ago I got a 03 Nissan xterra. Its so much nicer haha. Right now I'm on my way to the Florida keys. What about you?
Nice! Love Rangers.
I've got a 96 GMC safari. Pretty comfortable. I tore out the back and built a bed and storage and stuff. It's homey.
We (my girlfriend and I) are in Vermont for the next 10ish days, then we're gunna putz around the Adirondacks for a few weeks.

That's cool man! I like how people customise their vehicles into something more travel worthy. I thought about doing that but being a single guy it's easier to just push stuff out of the way and plop down to sleep. It is really cool though. Maybe some day I'll set up shelves...and curtains to keep the sun out haha. How is your trip going so far?

It's going great! We've met the best people you could imagine. And we always seem to happen across the coolest experiences. For example, we have caught a few concerns now by accident. We hurt happen to roll in and shit is packed and we catch a free show.
