Any suggestions on using facilities? How to avoid trouble as far as using the john. and also how to get your cloths cleaned once in awhile. |

This is for anyone curious in hitting the road to learn a little about what to take with them and other tips, etc. Obviously computer time is pretty limited for me but I'll swing around and answer questions every couple weeks to a month. |

Very careful thought before attempting to live free should be given. |

No matter how hard I try I come to the same conclusion, this is dangerous for a petite female |

Hmm, interesting. This thread might just be the source of data I need. |

How long have you been an oogle? |

There are typically public bathrooms in most places. Sometimes you may have to sneak into an outhouse or something. I only worry about finding a bathroom for shitting as there's usually a line of people. Peeing is something you just sort of have to make work, find a good spot and pop a squat. The hardest thing is masturbation. |

Where do homeless people get the markers to use on cardboard posters? |

Any chance of an indepth report on your circumstances, and experiences so far. |

This is actually pretty cool. What made you want to do this? I suppose the need to feel free and travel. |

In like a week or so I'll transcribe my journal onto a blog. It was spotty at first but I've adjusted and gotten rather good lately at keeping up with my experiences. You're right though, they've been incredibly profound and have taught me a lot about faith and my impregnable spirit. |

What is Babylon and this menafestation you speak about? And what's a normal span of time, that you spend on average each time you go out to travel? |
|
Babylon is a biblical term adopted by the modern dirty kids and rainbow family to describe modern civilization. It carries with it the connotation that it's temporary and will fall again, while our lifestyle is more stable. |

My best friend since middle school had been an A/B student all his life, graduated from both Stetson University as a finance major and Full Sail university with a Film degree, went to work at Charles Schwab making good money, got tired of the rat-race and literally gave up everything to travel the world doing oddjobs for nothing but room and board. |

I actually did look into WWOOF for a long time. I may upgrade to that sort of thing in a few years. I need exposure to something a bit less predictable right now, though. Travelling via buses, hostels and work opportunities gives you a lot of good exposure, and my own experiences doing that in South America were awesome. But it didn't quite have the same spiritual experience that traveling broke does, in my opinion. Granted you won't often get to sail (or shower) and there's definitely many possible paths to take, one must find their own. One guy I met on the road brought quartz with him all over the planet then came back and handed them out to friends and people he met (like me) |

Here's an article written about a train hopper that died like a week before I hit the road. Lots of travelers I've met knew him well and considered him a friend. RIP Hotboxx |

Do you consider yourself a modern day adventurer? |

Sleep depends on where you are. In Portland, for example, you can sleep on the sidewalk without too much trouble so long as you're up by six. In San Francisco you can either go deep into Golden Gate park or go to a smaller park and just get up early enough. In other places, such as Austin, Texas, you have to either go to a shelter or get out of downtown and find a patch of woods or some other stealthy spot where you won't be noticed. Even downtown where it's illegal to sleep, most cities have plenty a cutty spot where cops won't see you. |
