There are thousands of established hiking and cycling trails in the world, and they are about bicycling or hiking on exact paths from their start to the very finish, not about traveling from one hotel to another. That’s why staying in tents along the trail is so common among long distance bicyclists and hikers. To find a spot is always a problem, because usually it’s somebody’s property.

The purpose of this project is legalising of those, who have an ability and curiosity to travel through established trails on foot and learn about local life, but who always are under the pressure of breaking local rules and regulations unwittingly.

The author of Stay on Trail - Help on Trail, a former Russian journalist and associate professor of the University of South Africa, Lena Faber , hiked the Appalaachian Trail and rode her bike on Route 66 from Chicago to LA and East Coast from Maine to Florida.
