I'm thinking of trying to set out to cross the globe(without personal car or plane) but can't decide if I should leave east west; from Alaska into Asia or north eastern United States into Europe. Than I also cant decide about going north to south say South America across the polar regions than...

I'll be in Juneau next week, just me and my pack. Hoping some of y'all who've been there got digs.. After resting in Juneau I figured I'd just cross the water and start hitching toward Anchorage, maybe looking for parks and truck stops along the way. Is there any concern, or is this stretch more...

Hey hey! I was just curious on if anyone has ever been to slab city and hunkered down for a bit and how it was? Was thinking of making it my destination but keep getting conflicting accounts on how amazing or how horrible it is. Would love to hear a first hand account. As always I appreciate any...

Hey everyone! My name is Jeremiah and I'm actually about to set out on my first solo trip across the states while using the volunteer exchange site Workaway. I'd gladly welcome and appreciate any tips you could give me. I'm nervous but I'm not at the same time. I'll also be hitchhiking most of...

This is an old, out of print article about the two intentional communities that brought me to Uptown, Chi. Both are still going. I lived with the Jesus people for about two and a half months, and fled for the Catholic Worker where I volunteered on-and-off from 2003-'10, then again from...

I'm considering a stp-style hitching/freecamping trip in Cape Cod with a friend. If it was just me I'd go an find out through trial and error but my friend has a lower risk threshold so I wonder if this is a terrible idea. My goal is 5 hikes, 16 miles total, but with some transportation...

Well we all know of TAZ's like Slab City and the ones surrounding LA in the desert, but are there good camps or public areas for dispersed camping around major cities such as LA, SF, Redding, Sacramento, etc? I've debated some of the National Forest areas and desert for dispersed camping but I'm...

Hi y'all, this question is for Canadian citizens. I'm planning on crossing the border from Canada to the USA. I'll be traveling with my car (which doesn't exactly look new or clean but it's 20 years old so let's keep an open mind here). My question is : what do I need to tell the border services...

I am about to touch down in Chicago and looking for a place to crash.

Hey folks, I've got a squat on my family farm in South Dakota. I moved out here to build a house and start a fruit farm, hoping that once it was starting to get awesome out here, people would come join me in a communal living situation. Then my autoimmune disease went crazy, I ran out of...

I just recently passed through this wonderful town for the first time, and I recommend it for any travelers who are looking to go somewhere that doesn't frown upon travelers, or homeless. It is a town right by a ton of mountains and it snows a lot during this time of year, it is also a ski...

Can you swim to Canada from Michigan? Oh wait, I guess you can't, because it's November. How do you get to Canada now? Apparently that park was fake and has always been patrolled, and there is a library building that is built on both country's but that is also monitored and it's successful...

If you arrived off the Greyhound or Flix bus, you'll most likely arrive in the afternoon. Call the shelters to see if there's availability, or have some money ready for a cheap hotel/motel. Your options are to take a slab cab from El Centro, take the Imperial Valley City bus roue 2 to...
