The man who posted himself to Australia

I looked into hitching a ride on a C-130... not nearly as free or fun as you might think. You can if you are a journalist (or blogger!) and want to write a positive piece about the military.

In light of this story I will no longer bitch about coach. But travel does suck, and I can't wait for quantum transport to be a thing.

Can you elaborate on that at all? The link you posted doesn't mention military hitchhiking, which sounds interesting to say the least.

Another way: get a job interview with a company at your desired location. Works best for big cities, like New York City.

If you have moral qualms, only apply at banks. They deserve it.
