The basic idea here is somebody needing to get away from someone or somewhere, but that leaves us a lot of wiggle room. We could go back to the sixties and someone wanting to go to San Francisco, or we could have someone escaping an abusive home only to end up on the unforgiving streets in a big city. [u][b]Or we could have someone just drifting around on a road trip that never ends[/b][/u], maybe they are hitchhiking with truck drivers?[/quote]
I actually have a character doing precisely this; she just goes from place to place in her old VW bus, doing whatever along the way. She also fits the age group you're looking for, strangely enough :O

As you can imagine, I'd be interested in this idea. Shall we discuss details? :)
