My mom called and said she's worried about me being manic, flights of fancy and all that. I had a whole trip planned out but she said a $40 motel doesn't sound safe. I am bipolar, mental health is really important to me (I have a mental health first aid certification! but it's hard to do first...

Hello, my name is Wade and I am a housey now. I squatted, hitched, hopped and spanged my way around the US for 5 years ending in 2007 when I had a kid. After 10 years of marriage a painful divorce and loss of custody of my children I feel the road calling me more and more. My favorite places...

This is a long shot but I'm really up against it. Philly residents or folks who are familiar with the city...are there any good spots you know of either in squats or bandos where I could possibly find a little shelter from the elements without exposing myself to too many other people? I've been...

first part of my stupid adventures.... So many moons ago I was 22 around 02 and heading from Minneapolis to Seattle via highline. I was with a gang of fools who caught a piggyback out of Minnie. Well halfway through our journey of hiding and kinda freezing, you’d never think a train would...

Seen a couple other threads about this but no one seems to answer this question directly so here's another one :P Any recommended sleep spots in NYC? Been scared af to sleep there alone bc all the good, hidden spots have gotta be taken n sleeping in the parks seems sketchy.

I have a few nice spots , some that are great & safe for sleeping at night, others that are shaded during the day. They’re all public, & free. There are a couple I don’t want to blow up, cause there is a time limit, but if you’re not conspicuous, they don’t seem to care. There is also a...

Just moved to Oahu from the Big Island. It's a huge culture shock. It's almost like a different state, crazy. Iv been staying along the North Shore but it's kind of sketch. Can anyone recommend some good spots? Mahalo 😀

So, this is my first post on this site, cool. Anyways, I've been interested in train hopping and backpacking through the US for almost a year now, and since it's starting to get warm out again I think its about time to catch out for the first time. I have some questions though, since im a...

That applies to all travelers, and housed-up people for that matter. I am new here, and enjoying it.But I have a soft spot for you who are riding hard steel, cause that’s what I hope to be doing myself in the New Year. I do get to follow your adventures now, though , and am greatful for the...

I want to have a general idea of guaranteed spots we can stay, that aren't far from the safe spots of New Orleans.

Wondering if this resonates with others on here. There's this "safe space" bug that has bitten so many of the leftist / liberal enclaves where I hang out, & I'm sorry to be a party crasher here, but I've really had a lot of problems with it. See "The Broken Teapot" which the Anarchist Library...

I was wondering if there were any places, like squat locations or safe spaces, that I could visit in Houston. I've been to a couple before, but I was wondering if any still exist. Peace, Joel

hey everyone, i've been hitching a lot over the past few years all over europe and i've always tried to hide my gender while doing so for safety concers by putting on different clothes and stuff. i've probably still been read as not so much gender-conforming but it never really had any effects...

Sooo.... after like 2 months of van dwelling, I got my first break-in. I guess thats what I get for sleeping in the punk side of town... But that thing aside, anyone has any recommendation on how to keep the van safe? Luckily, this time I was in it, and scared the shit out of the guy. Im more...

Hello everyone. I joined half an hour ago. Girl in her twenties, no experience, foreigner, looking for adventure, read a lot about hitchhiking. Sorry, but there'll be no long introduction since it's 3 AM here. I have a question though. How long will it take to hitchhike from Boston to Oregon if...
