So, I came down with something 2-3 months ago after riding the greyhound cross country like a cold maybe rona (I did lose my sense of smell and taste entirely), and the symptoms went away but I developed tonsillitis (swollen tonsils and lymph nodes) which hasn't gone away for like 2 months now...

Hey all, I've been trying to develop my career over the past few years so that I am able to have a work/travel balance. There is this work schedule in my field called 'career-seasonal' that you can work between 6-10 months a year and you essentially get laid off for months at a time, and have a...

Its seems almost every week I am told about a new program that's out there...the bad old days of post Vietnam are behind us thank God. Want to share as I come across new stuff.

Sorry if this has been posted before or isn't allowed, I'll probably end up wanting to delete this anyhow. I'm working on the road...driving and kinda babysitting groups of around 20 backpackers. I tend to work 3 and a half weeks at a time, then have three days off and start again. Like, it's...

Looking for a ride from South Dakota. Going to Revival music festival in Harmony Park Geneva Minnesota north of Albert Lea, from May 23 to 27ish. This will be my first fest of the summer. Its been some years but always bring food to share and i can cook my ass off. If anyone needs a personal...

Been coming to terms that I may need some help. Anyone have resources for free mental health clinics? The pain is starting to be more then I can handle.

Taken From: http://sfaf.org/client-services/syringe-access/history-of-needle-exchange.html Throughout the history of HIV/AIDS, there are many moments that stand out as bold acts of courage that forever changed the course of the epidemic. Syringe access in San Francisco is certainly at the top...

Okay, first things first I tried searching for an answer to this question but let’s be honest, searching forums is garbage across the board. Anyway I didn’t find anything. So I’m hitting the road in a month, which means quitting my job and losing my health insurance. I plan on spending a month...

Hey folks! If you're reading this you probably know that having a vagina makes you vulnerable to some diseases and other issues that people without them don't have to deal with. I'm going to go through the two most annoying and teach you how to deal with and cure them. 1. Urinary Tract...

I'm wondering if anybody else has PTSD from being in 23-hour lockdown (administrative segregation, not solitary confinement but close). I was just a number in the system, a bored, poor person that got drunk and spraypainted a building saying "fuck war 4 oil" and it happened to be a federal...

So I have been going through threads on here that have touched the topic of Veganism and I have seen mostly negative and pessimistic views on traveling while Vegan. I want to clarify something. It is NOT hard to travel and be Vegan. If you want it then you can make it work. My wife and I have...

Usually when I'm grounded somewhere I head to the gym about 5x per week, doing a weight routine. It's a bit more difficult being on the road. Not getting enough calories, nutrients (at times), energy, etc. to work out. However, I do use my knowledge of body weight workouts to still complete some...

I become addicted to alcohol easily and have to suffer withdrawal symptoms while detoxing to get healthy again. Alcoholism, as well as other dependencies, is a huge issue in our sector of counter-culture, but that doesn't mean you can't balance yourself out and take care of your body. One of...

A good friend today approached me with concerns regarding my traveling plans. I'm finishing up a degree now, but after that I plan on taking my bike to the west coast and just going with the flow, doing some wwoofing, freelance art and modeling, etc. I have a musculoskeletal condition that...

So I've got a jacked-up back. Disc degeneration, narrowing of the thingy due to osteoporosis, etc. etc. I've come to the conclusion that leather-tramping or train hopping is probably not the way to go. Most likely rubber-tramping it, car living. My basic problem would then be...work. I.E. I'm...

i've been wanting to post about this for a while, and i don't really know how but just to share some of my experiences and thoughts: it's first of all amazing to me how little thought a lot of people give to food. i've lived off of dumpsters and food not bombs off and on for years at a time...

Just wanted to let you guys know about something else I've found useful recently. Oil pulling (or swishing oil around in your mouth for a bit and spitting it out) is a good way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Supposedly it works like flossing to remove crud between the teeth without...
