What would it be like to give away your belongings and head out on the open road? Have you ever wanted to hitchhike or just been curious about the vagabond lifestyle, but you don't want to leave the comfort of your chair?
At age 20 and with only a blanket, tarp, cooking pot, matches, and a dog, RK hitchhikes and lives on the road in true "road dog" style through the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas and Venezuela. These are the true stories of a young woman who discovers herself and the world around her through her radical love affair with the road. A run in with a Mexican cartel, almost getting jumped and beaten by a Los Angeles street gang, catching a ride on a sailboat with no engine to the Bahamas, getting tossed into a Bahamian refugee camp and experiencing student riots in Venezuela are just some of the exciting experiences found in this wild memoir.
Not only is hitchhiking considered an unconventional way to travel, but it is rarer still that this journey was completed by a woman.
