Will travel for just desserts.

Going places for iced cream.

Luxurious country town dining is the best.

there should be a serial number on the bottom of your bike, write it down so you can report it when it's stolen cops dgaf about stolen bikes tho
get a solid u lock, i like kryptonite
lock up in either a place with too much foot traffic for athief to pry the lock or hidden from view enough that you could feel good about leaving a hundred dollar bill there

No bike is unnickable, its more likely in cities but still worth it. you can narrow the chances by:

• Having a cheap/cheap looking bike
  
• Placing your bike next to better looking bikes
  
• Placing your bike somewhere where it will not be seen by oppertunistic thieves/ will be more likely to be seen by law enforcement
  
• Not leaving your bike in the same place on a routine basis.
  
• Having a gold standard D lock, and combining it with a heavy duty chain.
  
• Not leaving your bike right outside places you are likely to be a long time (EG: The cinema/theatre/swimming pool/gym/work)
  
• Smartwatering your bike / Painting or putting stickers on your bike to make it distinctive.
  
• Taking parts of your bike off, such as the seat
  

Usually its fine, but the best thing to do is just to insure your bike. If someone wants it they will have it.

>Taking parts of your bike off, such as the seat

this is the gold standard for not getting your shit finessed, put it next to other bikes and take off the seat, works every single time, criminals aren't dumb but they are lazy

Hey OP, I know you haven't posted in a while, but if you are still out there reading this then do as some of the others have suggested and don't make your journey about others. Do you and you will attract the people that will matter to you. Also mass socializing is overrated and going to events such as mardigras might not be the right social group for you. In my opinion it is better to network with decent like minded people that you meet along your journey rather than to try to mingle with the general masses. I also have grown up with social issues, but over time my frustration of not being heard or getting what I wanted while watching others with less than half my qualifications always get what they wanted. I really don't care about socializing, but I tend to overcome my anxiety in order to approach people and ask for whatever it is I want. Now if I do start traveling I sort of planned on using outlets such as bars or volunteering as social hubs in order to find resources that I need while traveling. Socializing while volunteering is fairly easy, but for me being socially awkward it is hard for me to just mingle around and try to converse with random people. Even at say a bar; like what do I do, just walk up to a group of locals or workers and say that I'm not from around here and ask if they have any suggestions for me? To me that is super awkward because I think I am bothering them. But if I am a bother then they will just ask me to leave them alone and I can just shrug it off and move on. As James Randi suggested festivals like the rainbow gathering or since you are in the states something like strange creek. Also James Randi would know what he's talking about if you haven't seen his thread. I want to make a similar trip around america and canada, but I think I will hitch and use P/T like buses or trains to travel in order to reduce insurance and gas expenses. I plan to travel from state to state choosing my destinations by resources and recreation such as fishing or hiking. Also find occasional work through workaway, woof or hostels. I want to stay in one area for about a week or so depending on the action and what I have going on there such as temporary income. When not working just hike, camp, fish or whatever else I want. Then just move on to the next place.

My kind of van life.

ha another person who has a personality disorder who wants to live the van life, as someone with BPD I can't wait to put all my earthly belongings into a rickety old vehicle, travel around the country and make friends for a week who I have no intention of ever seeing again

I don't think I've ever seen an ATM that gives more than 400 per transaction and most banks, especially the ones a drunk guy would be using, won't allow many. if any, transactions after that so he couldn't have gotten that much for it.

Is boating fun? I can sun-burnt easily...

Sunny seas are best

This, OP. Battery swaps are ridiculously easy. Just walk your old battery into an auto parts retailer. They offer free battery disposal usually so that's a plus, AND they will show you which battery will fit your car. I did pay like $100 for a spankin' new one but it was worth it.

Honestly if your current car is WORKABLE you should watch YouTube videos about how to fix it up. I watched a LOT of ChrisFix vids when I was working on my last car. It's really quite easy to do regular maintenance on almost any car, provided you have the right tools. Get a hand me down socket set because that'll be your bread and butter. The only things I wouldn't personally try to upkeep are transmissions and engine blocks. Spark plugs, mufflers, batteries and the like are all basic fare for car maintenance.

As for brands, anything Toyota makes lasts FOREVER. Toyota is, to me, the ultimate consumer car company. Their stuff is built well enough to take a beating, and simply enough to be easily accessible for maintenance operations.

Get a turbocharge Ford Focus

donate the car and write it off. for next years tax returns.

I've sent too many cars off to charity or driven them to the scrap yard for the hundred bucks. It sucks and doesn't get you a new car.
Honestly, list it on craigslist if you have the title, as is
Or sell off some parts, look at ebay for examples, trim pieces, chrome grilles, door handles are gold to those who need them.
I mean, or whatever, the $95 will at least get you a cheap bicycle.

Sell it for scrap metal. That's worth something

Man, makes me miss the good old days of getting free pcp mixed with your weed.

Yeah I wouldn't try getting drugs in any Chinaland place. Maybe go pick up a prostitute, a lot of them are on drugs. Make sure you fuck her before you ask for drugs....
Gotta make sure it's not a cop

I leave extremely soon for Thailand. I'm going the Thailand (Bangkok)> Chiang Mai> Laos/Thai border river slow boat all the way down>Cambodia route.

I'll post some pictures and experiences here when I get there. I'm on suboxone so I wont be using hard drugs regularly, but I may be able to score a good morphine or methadone script. Even if I cant, I'll definitely try the opium/PPT in Laos while I'm there on the river.

Nodson's post was dead on about the drugs in the region. He forgot to mention you can get xanax, valium, tramadol, gabapentin, and viagra in nearly all the pharmacies in the region. Cambodia especially will likely have oxy/morphine/ketamine/tramadol/codeine all under the counter no script required, with some even selling morphine injectable ampules.

Cool, stop posting here about it and make your thread.

>>36040
I will make my own thread when I am getting ready. Right now nobody would want to read about me paying off my debts and working 40-50 hour weeks. I was more or less trying to strike conversation with you.

>>36041
Sorry, I didn't realize.
I had one other poster make a wall of text hijacking my thread before about how they were thinking of traveling then didn't. I thought this was happening again.

I don't know, man. I think you need to see what kind of style / topics fit you.

e.g. there's this guy on YT called Bald & Bankrupt, he makes these documentary/interview style videos. There's practically 0 editing. He went to Belarus, met locals, "blended in", talked with them. It's very real, I guess.

Good luck to you, these kind of videos are amazing if done properly!

It's actually a custom thing I've put hours and hours into at this point. I'll sell it to you for $25. Or if you want to pay me minimum wage, at least $200-ish.

a few times a week now but if you asked me a year ago I'd say about x5 per day, I biked every place that i went.
I lived in a city then, I live in the woods now

I wish I could bike to work. Working in an industrial area is not so good for that. One day...

>>35625
Spend some time just riding the overground trains and check out the landscape. it's beautiful really and the more rural areas are great to visit especially if you can find the local attractions.
In cities the gaming arcades are a lot of fun too. Pretty much any arcade game you can think of is available if you want to just spend a day playing whatever you can.
If you find some company bar hopping is great too. there's a big variety

Thanks for the ideas dudes, it's only 4 weeks to go now and I have a healthy list of shit to do.

>Dont forget its illegal to smoke on many streets (bars tend to be ok though)

fascinating. My apartment and street are non smoking so I gotta go scope out the nearest place to get my nicotine into my body

The average delay of a Japanese bullet train is just 54 seconds, despite factors such as natural disasters. If the train is more than five minutes late, passengers are issued with a certificate that they can show their boss to show that they are late.
