New to Traveler culture, help needed.

[burntorange66]

Hello everyone, my name is Darby, I'm from Louisville Kentucky and that's me in the pic (old picture, about 2 years). So I've been couch surfing for about 2-3 years because I've been completely broke and could bit afford my own place. I busted my ass at dead end minimum wage jobs that treated me like dog shit, I have no car or drivers license, no house, no money, currently stuck In Danville KY trying to get out. Anyway, so after long deep thinking over decided to pick up the travel lifestyle..I'm young still (19 almost 20) and I should enjoy life instead of dreading it like I currently have been. I am looking for advice (LOTS of advice), maybe later down the road some traveler companions. I saw the book Matt wrote called the anarchist
Guide to travel and I'm going to order that and read it. Thank you so much for your time

Welcome to STP...plenty of answers to your questions here.

those dead end minimum wage jobs can help you get some cash together to keep on moving down the road sometimes. they use you, you use them. sometimes capitalism is great.

thanks for taking a look at my book, you'll find many of the resources in it spread out over this website, but it's probably the best source if you want all that information in one place

take a look around StP and ask any questions you need, and don't forget to use the search! we're all here for you if you need anything!

Darby, if you are able, before you leave your home state, see if you can get a state issued identification card, even if you don’t have their drivers license. At least here in California, things will go much smoother. Good luck, wish I could do what you’re about to do.
