Still Growing

Submitted by Anonymous Hitchhiker on 29 April 2011 - 9:16am

Regardless of the silence we've had for nearly a year now, Random Roads is still growing! We released a couple of more stories that had been submitted before and new submissions are very welcome.

The printed magazine is still pending. We will still be working on this, one day for sure you can have a printed copy in your hands! The plans for now are first to migrate the website to the lastest Drupal release and to redesign the website.

Free Fall Travel & Nomadic Culture

Submitted by Anonymous Hitchhiker on 7 June 2010 - 4:00pm

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.

Bringing Blogs Together

Submitted by Anonymous Hitchhiker on 12 May 2010 - 11:23am

There is quite some writing about hitchhiking and other forms of independent traveling, especially on blogs. However, these are not easy to aggregate: some people have special travel-blogs, while others again are only writing about hitchhiking now and then.

There have been some attempts at bringing them together, most notably the planet-function at Hitchwiki. But as you can see there, we have a lot of unrelated content.

First Publication Coming Soon

Submitted by Anonymous Hitchhiker on 9 April 2010 - 10:53am

We're coming closer to our first print publication. Ever since we started almost 1,5 years ago, progress has been steady but we are now at the stage where we actually can really move further.

So far we have more than 20 articles that have been selected for the first issue. As soon as we have the selection finished, they will be send to our designer and then fingers crossed we will have our first edition in print ready soon after.
