    If you want to chill in Philly for awhile-I live on a sailboat-let me know.

    Although Philly and a sailboat are more fun in the summer than the winter.

    It's because you are still in "guest" status. You have to have so many post before they let you move up to member status. I think its something like 20. I just commented on every post I could find to get moved up. If you ever come through Illinois let me know. I might just hook up with ya !

    I've been giving it some thought about giving this a try. Hell...I'm not getting any younger so if I'm ever going to do it I guess I better get at it. I'm thinking about this spring after it starts to warm up again. Illinois winters aren't much fun and probably not a good time to take off. How do you go about finding places to stay ? I seen the places you have listed as to the places you stay but do you research places out before you go and reach out and make connections first ?

    I hope you go for it man.
    The place in kentucky I stayed at I had researched before hand and had been talking to the owners for awhile. Other than that I just end up places. If your looking to go from community/commune/farm/whatever then I would definetly talk to them ahead time rather than just showing up

    So like, before you leave one place, or before you start heading to a specific place, just give them an email or a call, tell them about yourself and learn about them.
    Have you ever looked into going to Asheville, NC?

    Tons of different kinds of travellers. definetly a good starting place

    I guess I'm not allowed to PM, either.

    But I've been looking for a travel buddy, too. I'm not very experienced but I have a lot of resources. I've been stocking up on gear, getting ready to travel in winter.

    I live in Philly but could possibly meet up in NY or CT and go from there.

    If you're down for another companion, let me know & I can email you.

    you need to have so many post and it will open up for you to use. I don't know the number though if I remember right it was some where between 55-65.
