Heading out on the road
It’s graduation time and I’ve gotten a few emails about being a CyberHobo. So just a little advice…
Gather as much of a bankroll as you can, that means sell anything and everything you’re not taking with you. Get a “Little Black Book” and get EVERYONE’S phone number, address, and email that you can. Not only get theirs but ask do they have friends and relatives in another state that would consider letting you camp in the back yard and shower under their hose for a night. With a recommendation alot of people open up their yards and/or porches for others pretty quick. (typically comes with a free meal as well, and maybe a little work) . Take a weather proof camera and set up a blog so others can follow along and keep track of you. Before you say NO, think about it. Most people that follow your journey on a blog would be willing to send a few bucks to you here and there. Even a couple dollars could mean you eating or going hungry. Tell everyone about you big adventure and give them the web address to keep track of you.
Stay safe and legal … you know what I mean. Be careful … young men can get raped as quick as a woman. You don’t hear about the men too much because it goes unreported. But there is a lot of men out there who search for young men to befriend and offer a place to sleep and stay. Date rape drugs work on men and women.
