A Quarky How-To Guide for Hitchhiking Anywhere on the Planet. Suitable for All Humans.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to: Earth

First World Edition

Hello All!

I've hitched the US's Eastern Seaboard, backpacked Europe, and done all of the above while Down Under. And all that way, everyone kept telling me, "I could never."

Well, I'm here to tell you, YOU CAN! The Hitchhiker's Guide to: Earth is the culmination of my personal experiences, journals, and interviews with fellow travelers and friends. It's a comprehensive reference guide to budget travel, backpacking, hitchhiking, and all around vagabonding anywhere in the developed world. INCLUDING air-fare, learn how to live like a Travel King for only $8 /day.

The Hithhiker's Guide to: Earth needs your help to fully come to fruition. The book is already drafted, and any profit left over, after publication costs, will be put towards future travels, to help keep the guide up to date and ever expanding (the most important part for any travel guide).

Feel free to check out my site where you can see more on my adventures and my Facebook page.

FAQ

  • This iteration of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to: Earth' is for developed nations and select other countries based on linguistic ability, hence the subtitle 'First World Edition'. An exact list is coming soon, but it will serve as a how-to guide for budget travel through all of these countries. 

    With the proceeds from this project, I will be able to properly research the 'Second World Edition'. The first stop will be far Eastern Europe and then Southern Eurasia. Given the current civil unrest in The Middle East and Africa, I cannot commit to these locations, but they are certainly on the radar.

    Thanks for asking, Gabs!
