Free Fall Travel & Nomadic Culture

Hitchhiking isn't the only form of traveling that we cover at Random Roads. We rather talk about the broader concept of being nomadic and "Free Fall Travel", a way of traveling by which you "let go".

Hitchhiking is an obviously an example of Free Fall travel, but also long-term cycling and walking or horse-riding and sailing can be considered as such: being on the road, not having a fixed home, and not knowing where you will be tomorrow.

In more general terms, Random Roads covers all forms of traveling that are part of ou "nomadic culture", a culture of people who leave behind their "fixed home" and are set for a nomadic journey which - as many nomads out there believe - can bring them further than anything else at that moment in their lives.

And that is what Random Roads mostly wants to be: a magazine -online as well as offline- that is born out of the culture of nomadic traveling, and which also can be seen as a representation of that same culture.

For more information, see the draft manifesto which was a result of a Random Roads Gathering in January 2009 when the community decided how to move ahead.
