Top 10 places I've pro-hobo-ed

Top 10 places I've pro-hobo-ed

I've slept in quite a few random places and don't intend to stop.
Below I've listed a few of a favourite places so far.

• Somewhere above Greek roads...

•  A Gasometer
   A friend and I had a brilliant idea of sleeping inside a Gasometer which is basically a huge metal tank built for storing gas. Fortunately we chose one which was derelict. The reason behind this idea was to get some shots in daylight and the only way to achieve this was to enter under the cover of darkness so we decided why not spent the night too.

• 23 Floors up in a French building site - Paris
  Whilst spending a weekend in France's capital city, my friend and I needed somewhere to sleep. Our first place had proven to be a failure in the pouring rain resulting in all our belongings to become soaked - included our thermals and sleeping bags :/ After drying them in a random Scottish pub we climbed our goal for that wkd. Only then were we able to fall into a deep sleep in a new development undisturbed 23 floors in the Paris financial district.

• Pacific Crest Trail - in the American Wilderness
  I spent numerous nights sleeping in the American Wilderness which was amazing!

  

• Chambre du Commerce - Belgium
  Meanwhile tucked in a side room of the Chambre du Commerce, we slept the night away or
  at least what remained of it after the International Drain Meet 2012.

 

• Under Paris in the Paris Catacombs ♥♥♥ J'adore~
  I never tire of falling asleep in my sleeping bag below the city streets of Paris. Nothing can quite describe being immersed in constant darkness as you fall asleep in and awake in it. The
  Catas remain at a constant 14 degrees so you rarely get cold down there.

• Border of Albania
  We decided to sleep on the Montenegro side of the border before crossing into Albania. After having the car broken into - DSLR and SATNAV disappearing in one fell swoop, we were happy to be leaving Montenegro and be entering Albania.

• An Abandoned Hotel over looking Lake Como
  I'd been to this hotel before and had to leave after the police were called (we weren't exactly discrete) so spent that night getting 2h sleep by the road. The next time I was able to get a full night of zzZ and awoke by the gentle heat of the sun.
  

• Next to Budludjha Derp - Bulgaria
  This place was high on my places to visit in Bulgaria and we ended up sleeping beside it and making a huge fire to roast our food on.

• Millennium Mills Roof
  This place is probably one of a favourite derelict spaces in London. It is so big and just sits there empty and watching time pass by. I was due to be leaving London soon and after a night spent exploring getting home at 2am. I then decided to walk 4 miles to the mill, sneak in and sleep on the roof - as you do...

Yellowstone National Park

Driving through Yellowstone National Park felt like I had transcended into another world. I know that sounds cliched but coming from the UK I’d never been in nature like this. My photos don’t do it justice. The National Park is massive, driving round I come to realise we have nothing like this in the UK. Plus it’s so cold, yeah it gets chilly in the UK but this was only October. With the combination of the thermal pools and what the park sits on top off. This allowed it to create an almost magical world.
It is $30 to enter the park but when we drove in we met no one in the booth.

We had arrived late the night before just as the evening was drawing in. We drove in looking for a place to pull up large enough for the car and camper van in tow. The dark pine trees loomed in from above, dormant and still. I could feel the chill seeping in through the windows. It wasn’t going to snow but it was close. We arrived in a car park and pulled up in a coach bay. No coaches would be arriving at this time of night. Having a quick pee in the outhouse I wandered back to the camper van. Looking up I saw just how clear the sky was. It was unbelievably stelliferous, stars everywhere, the milky way strewn casually up there. My steps slowed to a crawl and then I stopped forgetting how cold it was out here to marvel at the world beyond our own. An elk called out somewhere in the trees resulting in another to respond equally hidden in the depth. Eventually, I found myself back in the camper van. I unrolled my sleeping bag and piled half dozen blankets on top. So quiet I fell asleep with ease.

Hearing the sounds of artificial noise I sat up instantly. I wanted to see the National Park before others ventured inside. I hear the motors of cars and coaches already inside. I tossed clothes on, Handy looked up confused from his sleeping bag. I flung myself out the camper door and in search of anything in this wondrous place. People were already present but if I hurried there would still be a few patches without humans.

They were but only just, the hordes were soon coming and I was one of them. Camera ready I walked along the sparkling planks of the walk way as it lead me around. Pockets of heat hit me every so often as I moved. Circular pools of water steamed and hissed gently. A lake appeared and due to the misty crowed the surface the other side was unseen.

 We drove on and saw bison wandering freely and without a care as the larger motorised animals sped by. Then we came across a lodge which was huge and made entirely of wood. I was so impressed - my photos don't do it justice so I won't ask any but I'm still in awe. Then we waited beside Old Faithful which is that regular you can set your watch by it.
