Hey Everyone!
I asked some people a couple months ago to help me out on my graduate thesis about the traveling community and received some great responses. I am presenting my findings this Saturday in Long Beach at the Pacific Sociological Association. I am trying to stay true to the different aspects of the traveller and the community. I have not written the thesis yet, but will send it out when it is completed.
If there is anything anyone wants to add before I present, please let me know.
Here is a list of themes that I have found out across different travelers:
Houslessness
Values
Benefits of choosing a travelling lifestyle
Reasons for choosing a travelling lifestyle
Becoming too popular
Danger
Drug and alcohol use
Inner group conflict
Police harassment
Relationship with railroad workers
Cities versus rural areas
Barriers
Homeless shelters
Future
Hustles
Community
Technology
I am not focusing on the danger, violence or drug and alcohol use as the main issues. Rather I am focusing on the freedom and values people share while traveling and experiencing humanity. I want to give proper voice to the people that truly live free in an oppressive society.
