An insta-bed suspended comfortably off
the ground, all in the compact size of a fat
water bottle! I would recommend checking
out a company called ?Hobo Hammocks?,
they make excellent, compact, and durable
hammocks for travelers, campers, and
loungers! Get one, and they will donate a
meal to the homeless too! If you prefer
sleeping on the ground, I would
recommend an ?Alpine BIVY? made by
Outdoor Research. Its a lightweight,
compact alternative to carrying around a
bulky tent. With a single collapsable pole,
the entire set up takes about 20 seconds
flat! Bada-bing Bada-Boom, you?re home!
The second, and probably best way to find
a free bed for the night would be through
an app called ?Couchsurfing?. It is a
community of travelers and hosts from
around the world. Create a profile, then
post where you?re going on the app! Before
you know it, hosts from that specified area
will be contacting you left and right! Once
you have the ?A-Okay? from your host,
arrange to meet up! If you?re a bit more
selective over who your staying with, you
can always scan the available hosts in any
16
THOSE WHO WANDER
specified area. Don?t be shy, send a
message and see what happens! You gotta
love you?re your modern day travel tools,
huh?
RULE # 10: SOMETIMES, YOU JUST GOTTA SAY
F**K IT
Disregarding an negative implication,
these two words have an interesting power
when used properly. It has the power to
instill any thought, dream, or notion deeply
within us. It is the final decision maker in
self-provoked debates, and a magnet to
any personal wants or attractions. This is
the inevitable mental contract signed
instinctually with out looking back, a
decision that projects us into the world of
the unknown at the snap of a single
synapse. Conservative, confident and
curious, we are the select few, thriving on
the rushing spurt of impulsive spontaneity.
Seeing the world for what it really is, free
from the binding confines of social stature,
funding or fear. In the end, you know what
you have to do. Fuck it, just go?
