"A man on the road is solitary," the writer Vanessa Veselka said. "A woman on the road is just alone." Veselka thumbed rides for three years as a teenager & never once saw another girl hitching. We've got wanderlust too, and we don't need company. But like Veselka, we could think of a lot of stories about men on the road alone and not so many tales about women traveling solo. (If there's one thing this patriarchal society hates, it's a woman with agency doing whatever the F she wants.) So we hitchhiked to Vegas in protest of that tradition. WE OUT HERE.
