Whatever the Random Roads
Whatever the Random Roads is a proposed title for a hitchhikers magazine. The goal is to have it published twice a year, with a different theme for each issue (if there is enough content obviously). It will be edited through this wiki.
- Website
Articles, news about the magazine, videos and a great workflow to help editing articles can be now found at randomroads.org.
- Main idea
The main idea is to inspire fellow-travelers, share skills, tips and stories in all media-formats. A magazine is also a perfect way to help documenting and sustaining a vibrant subculture.
Each issue will have several recurrent features, some ideas so far include: a featured traveler, travel, country (or city), sharing-network (e.g. hospitality exchange, travel-learn), surviving in the (urban) jungle, how to travel no/low-budget etc... Issues will also contain specific city-information on hitchhiking spots, how to get food, free internet, where to sleep, etc., similar to the intention of the Hitchhiking Zine.
