caitlindeane asked: Been following your blog for awhile now, and I cannot express enough happiness in seeing you embrace new journeys. I'm finishing school soon and hitting the road to the American Southwest/west coast as soon as possible from the east coast area. I'm excited and nervous about taking this leap of faith. Any advice for traveling by car and/or traveling in general? Also any insight into where I could find a cute pair of those flowy pants you've been sporting? ;) Peace, Blessings, and Namaste.

oh, the flowy pants…its a skirt!  passed onto me by a friend (i think she bought it in London?) this is of course no help at all! 

as for the travel advise??? use your instincts, be open, try not to worry about your vehicle too much but also tell her that you love her for taking you to exciting places.  if you pick-up hippies…they are generally dirty hahaha, but make up for it in their adventurous spirit.  also, be cautious of bladder infections ;)

all the best and a million namastes, christine
