Hey, glad to find this place.
I'm leaving in a couple days on a 4 month backpacking trip from NYC, to RI, to NH, to Maine, to Nova Scotia, and around Canada, then back down to Niagra Falls, then to Chicago and back to the South East.
I've done a lot of traveling in my car, but this is my first time backpacking with buses and trains and hostels, (oh my!)
MY QUESTION: I'm taking a loaded 5,600 cu inch backpack, complete with travel iron, flat iron for hair, hairdrier, tons of cloths etc (read: it's heavy). SHould I take my violin to play in the streets? My bro makes good money in our hometown doing this, but do you think it would be too much of a hastle? It would be nice to make food money for the week with just one night of street playing, and I'm taking my cheapest, most disposable violin in case of theft.
What's your vote, good idea or not?
