how to be a traveling gypsy

Sage. Go to a website called digihitch.com. The whole sites by and about road people.

 

I have always wanted to be a traveler, and my gf is in sync with me my bigest concern(after getting off of probation) is all of the horror stories i have heard, like being robbed or getting the shit beat out of you just for the way you look. I would hate myself forever if something bad happend to her. is there any way to avoid the truth to those stories.

 

I've traveled the country in a Van once. didnt bring enough cash. had to sell stuff. heres an idea for anyone trying it. make friends with people ALL OVER. use this thing called the internet to form bonds with people from far away places. then stay with them. ^_^ some of these take years to cultivate, but youd be supprised sometimes.
If anyone has plans to start or continue a commune of some sorts. (3 days walking dist from a possible starving person would be a bonus) I'm not bad with my hands and I get along with others great ^_^ where's my resume?

 

i want to travel when i graduate from high school....but my problem is common.....no money...no skills....and im currently making friends with people all over for that purpose....and im also looking to find some traveling friends....

 

well eruna if your thinkin about leavin in a year i'm up for that. i've got to find money though for a plane ticket as i live in the virgin islands, and as cool as this rock is, i really want to get off it and see what else there is in the world.

 

if it is possible, should someone under the age of 18 stay at 'home' till the age of 18? I didnt, so I dont know the other side.
Sometimes-
...I wonder-
What if???

 

well you guys and gals rule.
For keeping up the chat about this.
The more information, the more i'll feel like hiting the road.
thanx

well yall... im totally down for leavin this place... just recently, my boyfriend asked me to marry him... and I said yes... but lately, ive been feeling trapped.. like ill be makin a big mistake if I marry him without having the experiences I want first... Im thinkin I will leave after I graduate or maybe next summer... but I definintly want people to travel with... so itd be cool to get to know some people now. I live in Missouri... If anyone is interested in leavin durin the summer of 2006 or summer of 2007... let me know.. we can get to know each other and make plans... peace

 

dude! i got family up in missouri. and i want to get out some time next summer i was thinking. so that could work

 

Right... so, when i was around 16 i wanted to do the same thing..... hitchhike/walk around the world..... it's a great idea..... and i finaly did it... i droped out of school and went.... but then i got stuck cause of the winter, and i got arrested..... it took me two years to dig myself out of my hole.... and my plan was to go to New Mexico, where i have family..... this all took place in Ohio.... i did'nt get very far....... i was homeless for about a year... then i got a job and a small apartment for another year..... and finaly made it out here to NM...... I've been here for almost 5 months...and am a week away from my 19th birthday... I'm staying with family, but am coming to relize that things are still the same....and im not comfertable unless i'm on the move..... I did get my GED here ..... and now i'm at a cross roads.... my Uncle want's me to work in a factory with him and go to collage...... but more and more I'm getting that feeling, that tugging sensation, the lure of the road...... so what i'm trying to say is lets get organized and do this...... I'm with everyone 100%.... so lets do it...

 

If you guys can get orginized, and set up a plan, then I'm totaly down...... I don't think food would be much of a problem, cause it's the summer time and we can alwase go to a farmers feild..... and we could hunt.... i spent my childhood on a farm, so i know how to grow food and i know how to hunt..... What would be a great thing to do is buy a chunk of land.... that way know one could give us shit on what we are doing there..... privite property, ya know.... but i think this is a great idea..... we just need to get organised....

 

Cool! me and u should chat sumtyme!

 

sounds like a great idea to me yall!

 

Yes sounds more than great.
Where is everyone from?

 

Theres alot we can do for food. Hunting is a great idea.
First off we need a estimated date of when we should all meet up and hit the road together. So we can have the ideas brewed up.
So let's first keep this forum alive.
I'm going to think realy deep about everything.

 

a lot of people seem to be thinking about getting out in awhile so i was thinking sometime next june. i live in the virgin islands so i gotta get plane ticket money before i can get outa here

 

Anytime is the right time for me. lol
What does everyone have in mind?

 

I'm thinking that people should get together with those of us who are closest...... those on the West coast should get together and meet somewhere, those on the east coast, people in Ohio, Pennsilvania, Indiana, Tennessie, get into groups, and then we can discuss where all the groups should meet..... some where in the middle..... and once we are all together we can decide what to do from there....

 

This sounds like a great idea!!! Anyone in Western Canada?
