If that's what you want to do then do it man. But make sure its what you want to do. Its not a decision to be made lightly on a whim, its a hard dangerous life that has a tendency to suck you in for good. I never did more than a couple short hops in state, but I have a few homies that have disappeared in to the jungles never to be seen or heard from again, and some that have resurfaced the better part of a decade later, happy that they took the chance. But don't do it out of desperation, or frustration. If you cant get work where you are at, hop on the Old Grey Dog and try somewhere else, where you got family or some homies that will you let you couch surf for a while. My $0.02 take it or leave it...
