SHOESTRINGS

There are ways to see the world without it costing you, the locals, or the environment an arm and a leg. Hitch-hiking and couch-surfing are viable forms of sustainable transportation. They are also informal and scattered, yet highly insightful forms of education. Carpooling with strangers. Friends you have not met yet. Hitchhiking is the polar opposite, or inverse, of taxi driving. Below are pictures of Gusbert's journeys through France, Peru, California and Alaska. He's also hitched through 44 other US states and chunks of Equador, Catalunya, Deutschland, and the Netherlands. Buses, trains, and ferries account for the 21 other countries traveled through to date.

cartographic art

maps are essential to a topographical grunt's existence. like anything else, they truly only belong to those who need them at any given moment. however, a perpetually growing personal collection of maps isn't sinful, much less those created by hand.

a map of the randomly unfolding route of a taxi (or box truck) shift can be color-coded and collage-worked with accompanying text about passengers and panoramas experienced in a twelve hour voyage.

mapmaking may occur as a form of journaling in any daily string of occurrences. it can be as left brain as it is right.



graffiti is art

rather this visual noise pollution than corporate advertising. they serve as great monuments along the personalized bicycle tour of the boroughs that gusbert offers.
