- Accounts of running away:
- Philip Greenspun wrote Travels with Samantha, which was one of the first web-based accounts of running away I ever read.
- Joel's Bike Trip is another account of seeing America.
- Schoolbus conversions are one of the means I looked at for running away.
- Joreth's School Bus is the most detailed account I've found. Sadly, the bus died. Remember to make sure your bus has a good engine before putting too much effort into the rest of it.
- Bob Sokol's schoolbus conversion is another, not as detailed account.
- How to Convert a Bus into a Motorhome will help you find parts to do the conversion and sell you a book telling you how to do the job.
- EscapeArtist covers overseas living for international job seekers, expatriates and tax exiles.
- Student World Traveler Magazine offers similar resources for students.
- The Vintage Airstream page offers a look at earlier runaways lifestyles. And it's fun to look at.
- AirCourier.com talks about Air Courier trips, lowest cost air tickets and bargain flight fares for inexpensive air travel. Airhitch (new URL) offers the same sort of thing, but you don't have to take someone else's stuff with.
- And once you've decided to run away, maybe you want to join the circus. Join Cirque du Soleil.
- Gotta have some food when you run away. I've added a Three Cheese Lasagna with Red Sauce and a Raspberry Sorbet (though the latter probably wouldn't travel too well) to Dave's Recipes.
