Slow Travel Tips from Nora Dunn, The Professional Hobo

“I had no idea where I would go, what I would do , how I would make money, or whether it was just something I had to get out of my system for six months. All I knew was that I wanted to have nothing holding me back from whatever lay ahead.”
— Nora Dunn
