Jordan Jonas

But at one point when I was, I guess, yeah, 18, he invited me to come along with him. He'd probably been doing it five or so, four or five years. And, uh, Or more. And I said, sure. So I quit my job and went out with them. Hobo Jordan is a bit of an overstep.

I feel self-conscious about that because I rode, I rode trains across the country, up and down the coast, back, you know, spent the better part of the year running around, riding trains and all the staying in places related to that. But All the people, the real hobos, those guys are out there doing it for years on end.

For me, what it felt like was a bit of a rite of passage experience, which is kind of missing, I think, in modern life. I did this thing that was a huge unknown. Ben kind of was there with me, my brother, for most of it. We traveled around, got pushed my boundaries in every which way, you know, froze at night and did all the stuff.

And then at the end, I actually wanted to go back and go back home. And so I went on my own and went from Minneapolis back, you know, up to Spokane on my own, which was my first stint of time by myself for like a week, which was interesting.

you know what it did too is it gave me a whole different view of life because i had gotten a job when i was 13 and then 14 15 16 17 and then i was just in the normal run of things kind of and then that just threw a whole different path into my life and then i realized some of the things while I was traveling that I wouldn't experience again until I was living with natives and such.

uh that was eye-opening to me and i think once i did that i went back so i went back to my old job at the salad dressing plant and uh there's this old cross-eyed guy and he was all hobo giordo's back and that's kind of where i got it but that freedom always was very important to me i think from that time on what'd you learn about the united states about

You're in an interesting context when you're on trains, because the trains always end up in the crappiest part of town. And you're always outside interacting. Oh, the interesting things. Every once in a while, you'll have to hitchhike to get from one place to another. One interesting thing is you notice you always get picked up by the poor people. They're the people that empathize with you. Stop.
