I was intrigued by the Kerouac post. Desolation Angels is my favourite of his but it's been so long since I read it that I don't remember why.
In my early 20s I hitchhiked across Canada (in large part because I wanted to be like Kerouac and Friends).
The biggest lesson I learned is that people are so much kinder and more generous than you can imagine. I was invited into homes, given food, money and care from complete strangers. It was the only time I remember feeling that the whole world was my home.
I want to read your novel!!
