Toronto heading out west.

[AestheticTramper]

Hey, I'm Paul.

Made it over from Europe and will be hitchhiking/train hopping west through Canada and then down the US west coast for the next few months.

Started out in NYC and been making my way for the past week . Currently in Toronto.

If anyone wants to hangout, travel together, or take a naive Brit along with you for the ride. Give me a shout. Plenty of experience hitchhiking, but no experience train hopping.

Love that first sleep spot picture. Be wary of west coast oogles if you meet someone organically over here.

Thanks. Nice little spot in downtown Toronto.

Can you be more specific re West coast comment? My approach is to take people as I find them regardless and listen to gut intuition.

You said you’re naive and you’re looking for someone to hop with. If you’re in Washington Oregon or California (anywhere really) and you meet someone on the street who will hop with you just be vigilant cause 99% of these fools are in the depths of addiction and suck.

You’ll probably be fine just don’t trust anyone too much.

Hey that's dope anything you wanna see in particular in PNW or anywhere along your path? What drew you this way?

 

[AestheticTramper]

Okay, I should have been more specific. I'm naive with trainhopping not so much with people or the streets. All I know is what I've read here and a few other places re trainhopping. It isn't really a thing in the UK, and barely a thing in Europe.

Mostly hitching and hopping is the interest but yeah, would also love to take in some national parks in BC and down the US west coast. Basically see the real country(s), and meet like-minded people - people who don't really fit anywhere so roam everywhere. Also something more challenging - been all over Europe and it has become all too familiar.

I also have the black version 😂 We could be a matching set, unfortunately I think the gathering is too late for me. Would have loved to attend.
