lookin to travel

[anost]

hey, i'm chris

i'm currently living in upstate, new york (inbetween nyc and alb) after having had lived in maryland my whole life, i'm in my early twenties, at a major crossroads in my life (cliche), and i haven't come to any conclusions other than i'd rather be out traveling and surviving off of my own merits and the kindness of strangers than going to school with no direction and working a dead end job that leaves me feeling empty at the end of the day. i'm an avid bicyclist, i like building and organizing things, taking pictures, and roughing it and cooking. i've seen the continental united states a few times over by conventional means but i'd like to hitch and hop trains to get that under the glass travel experience. i have a few friends who've hopped and my friend tina unfortunately lost her leg in seattle a couple summers ago (which discouraged me for a while) but i'd like to give it a shot. i made my first trip on a local to selkirk (CSX B957) a few days back and i'd like to hook up with some people and do something more substantial.

you should be more specific. like where are you wanting to go. when do you want to leave. and so on. might be a little more helpful.

I live in Poughkeepsie. I'm not sure whereabouts between Albany and NYC you are, but we should meet up some time. Seems we both want to travel, so if nothing else we could have some drinks and talk about gettin the hell out!

by the way, your picture is reminiscent of somebody I saw at the A&P near my house earlier.
