To Go On By Yourself..?

[Maxx Power]

Hello, I'm new to this site but not to traveling, well traveling with a companion that is. Right now me and my road dog have decided to split ways and I honestly believe it's for the best. I have never hitch hiked or been homeless by my lonesome and I'm anxious as to how it will all pan out. Right now I'm in Redding and I have to make it to LA by the 21st of March to play a show, so I have some time to kill. I could leave whenever and I could even get a ride share. I dunno, maybe I delay my departure because I'm worried about what's out there. Am I still alive because I have been traveling in a pack? Or is it because truly inside I am strong and need to realize that about myself.

As of right now I'm dicking around California and Oregon and hoping to head to the south and see where things go. Thanks for reading.

I'll let the more experienced travelers chime in here - but wanted to welcome you here. Welcome and good luck on the travels!

Yes, and even more so because the world isn't half as dangerous as people have been led to believe. Time to get your ass out there and climb over that mental hump.

I travel solo most of te time. It's nice. Can do wht you want when you want...no bickering on what to do now. Easier to get rides. Don't have to share kickdowns. So many benifets to traveling solo. It is good for your head to be alone too

 

[nobody nomad]

I hear ya. It's not always easy going alone.. but I think it's definitely worth it. Like Wizehop said, you just have to get over that mental barrier!

 

[Maxx Power]

Thank you all for the encouraging words! I think I can do this. I'll probably start hitching down sometime next week. Cant wait! ::woot::

 

[Tude]

go for it people here are quite awesome

Travelin solo definitely builds character and if you ever do travel with someone again you will have more skill and find that you can rely more on yourself.

my advice would be to make your way out to the 101 and hitch down that to the 1 and LA. it's waaaaay more fun than hitching the 5 (and easier to get rides!).

I have generally traveled alone and like it that way.Less bs can happen and personally I like the solitude,ya wont know till ya do it. So go and do it.

How do I get to the 101 from the 5?

Is that a serious question? Get a map!

I meant to say where do i hitch from to get to the 101 from the 5. I suppose just try to find someone who is heading that way.

 

[Johnny P]

Depends on what part of the 5 your on..

 

[Johnny P]

You're in Redding. Hwy 299 goes to the 101 via weaverville/willow creek. Easy road to hitch

 

[Art101]

101 is an easy ass hitch get out there and get that thumb working.

 

[Maxx Power]
