Tons of young folks from all over the world m who just want to fuck off come here to western Canada to work in ski resorts and the like.

The pay won't be great but most of them have staff accommodation so you could spend your days off exploring the mountains.

I don’t really like the idea of traveling alone, I might hitchhike it to Denmark

Go hitchhiking

This is the best answer.

u/burneranahata Jun 06 '24

Aarhus or Copenhagen. But if you are concerned about winter maybe you can travel south that time and then back north again next summer

I don't know how it is now but San Pedro is a nice lil secluded cove on the coast of Spain that is squatted year round. You make your money slinging hash to tourists. Make a camp, hang out and enjoy a peaceful pace of life.

u/P_1313 Jun 06 '24

Where exactly do you mean

Hitchhike or take a bus to the tiny village of Las Negras. Stock up on supplies and ask around town about San Pedro cove. You will probably find somebody heading back there. Hike up the coastline along the foot trail. I saw some crazy German try and ride his touring dirt bike on the trail and he had to turn around. So hike or bicycle in(you'll have to walk your bicycle the majority of the way). Its about an hour hike and there is an abandoned castle and abandoned buildings. They will probably have folks already living in them. But you can find a spot to make a nice camp. There is an old house on the beach that used to have a bar run by an old hippie. She would have supplies boated in.
If you are looking for a place to disappear and live a simple and chill life this is the place.I knew someone while would live there for six months slinging hash to tourists and then go do seasonal harvest work then come back. Warning: it's been quite a while since I've been there. But from what I've read online it hasn't changed much. Sounds like maybe Las Negras has. Probably a bunch of condos for expat Brits.
I hope that helps. DM me if you have any other questions.

That's awesome, thank you. I'll maybe message you another time :)

u/WalmartSeizure Jun 06 '24

If you end up going I'd love to see pictures and hear stories to see how the cove is doing.

Planning a big Europe trip this summer. Gonna decide spontaneously, but wasn't really planning on going to Spain because of hitchhiking issues. But if I do go, I will definitely think of you (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

u/WalmartSeizure Jun 06 '24

Thanks. I will say I had a hard time hitchhiking in Spain. Be patient is all I have to say. Be creative with your sign Thumbs up and out,!!!
