Hey folks! I wasn't sure where else to ask these questions, so I'm posting them in here.
I just packed my bag- I'm planning to travel west from Northern Virginia solo for a bit until I can maybe try and get a traveling partner somewhere down the line.
Long story short, staying in my current place of residence is driving me nuts and I've been itching to take to this lifestyle for ages. Every additional day I spend here just feels rather torturous.
I have some questions though. I may or may not just leave asap regardless of whatever possible replies just cuz I'm feeling extremely impatient, but any advice will be taken into account.
- Do you think it's wise of me to travel solo, or should I wait until I can manage to try and get a travel partner?
- As a transperson who hates my name but also doesn't want to wait in my current sitch for however long it will take for the VA gov to allow a legal name change, should I wait until my legal name is changed so I don't have to deal with my awful legal name anymore or should I just leave ASAP like a lot of me is begging me to do without changing my legal name? (and probably leave the name change for another time) It's not like I'll be using my ID all that often on the road anyway, and I think I could manage to just pretend it doesn't exist until the next time I need it?
- Do you have any just... general advice for someone pretty new to this lifestyle (I'm planning on being a road tramp) but who's done a fair amount of research?
Thank you, and stay safe out there.
