Anyone heard from him or seen him? he went to europe and i think he may have taken the "Hostel" route.

 

anyway, just curious. it's only been like 2 weeks.

yeah i saw his "goodbye" thread but i want to know if he's raped or tortured or drunk or whatever. i think he might have aids though, be careful.

yes, im back in canada now. the girl left me and i went and hitchiked through sweden alone and realized that it's no fun living like a hobo when youre by yourself. i got plane tickets back to my mom's house and now im severely in debt and quite depressed. i went through germany, the netherlands, denmark, norway and sweden. mostly hithiking, dumpster diving, and playing music on the streets for money. in germany i hung out with hang drum players, in amsterdam i hung out with drunk old men, we hitchiked thru denmark in one day and then was in norway for about a month. went from kristiansand up to lofoten islands and back down. met some awesome people in krisitansand who smoked hash with us and did a lot of weird chemical drugs, but they had awesome taste in music. oslo was shit. in bodo we got food from the bakery and lived in a park and hung out with local drug adicts (they were very kind). on lofoten welived behind a graveyard in a cave and got invited to a party and ate norwegian brown cheese. saw the midnight sun in gimsoy, hitchiked back to trondheim with a trucker and this other guy picked us up and let us stay at his apartment for about a week,. he was an old traveller who had hitchiked all around the world for 6 years after his marrage ended. i went alone to sweden and skipped a rock across an entire river. met some really cool engineering students in Are who gave me beer and pizza and a place to stay and a ride to handol, which was nice but also shit. hitched backj to trondheim, found sarah on the streets by some weird coincidence and we played more music and met some crazy vegans who had dinner parties every night. some of them offered us a guest apartment in svartlamon, which was awesome. protested outside a fur shoppe, then mcdonald's the next day. then i left.

that is the trip in a short summary. we hithiked most everywhere, but sometimes took trains. usually slept outside.

 

here's a picture of thom making a balloon animal for a police officer when we were demonstrating outside mcdonald's. im on the left with the scarf in my back pocket

YEAH

Guest my usernames always really suck

Hey Aron, this is something I've been thinking of doing for a long time... traveling and just coming across whatever I come across.

 

Do you think this would be risky, though, for someone shy like myself? Good "people skills" are probably a must for doing this sort of traveling, but ...maybe not really necessary?

i dont think it would be that risky, but we always carried around a knife just in case. there were some sketchy incidents with drunks and drug adicts, and people giving us rides to weird places. but it shouldnt be too much trouble if you play it cool.. people are probably more scared of you than you are of them lol... unless your blatantly walking around like some tourist douchebag that could be easily ripped off. it's nice to have a place to stash your bags and shit. like in a bush or something.

people skills would definitely help though. talking to people = getting better rides and offered places to stay and food. if you dont talk to anyone you'll likely get shittier rides and sleep outside and have to figure out your own ways to get food. we also met some really cool people just from kicking around shooting the shit. but if you got lots of money it would probably be easier. we were living in serious hobo stylings, so any place to stay or meal offered helped us greatly.

i'd say go for it if youre looking for adventure, but it definitely isnt no walk in the park. there were lots of frustraing days standing on highways in the middle of nowhere with no water or food in the hot ass sun (or rain), waiting for like 4 hours to get a ride an hour down the road to a simmilar place. or getting stuck in large city centres with no place to stay. steer clear of major cities is my advice. the only reason we ever went to cities was because we had to play on the streets to make money. there's no one around in small towns to give you money for playing shitty music,, but the dumpster diving is better.

it's quite easy in europe, but other places might not be as good. i've been thinking about hithiking through the states down into mexico, but i have a feeling it would be far more difficult.

just my 2 cents
