  We've kicked off our big US road trip and our first stop is the off-grid desert community of squatters, hippies and snowbirds in Slab City, by the Salton Sea in California's Sonoran Desert. We spent a night at Slab City Hostel (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17990088..., which we highly recommend if you're looking for a little adventure experience out of the ordinary and aren't fussy, visited the local night club/bar The Range for prom night and saw live musical performances, and of course visited the art of Salvation Mountain and East Jesus. Many people stopp by just to take a look at these but we highly recommend to spend at least a night there and get to know some of the locals to get some insights to life in the slabs and their reasons for living there.

=====Slab City: A Day in California’s Lawless Desert Town=====

Ever since I saw the movie Into the Wild, I was fascinated by Slab City. It sounded like this creative, hippiesque and slightly crazy place in the middle of the Californian desert: ultimate freedom, the chance to be yourself. I mean, I didn’t really know anything about it besides these movie scenes, but for some reason, it drew me in. So when we started traveling through California in March 2018, I knew I had to go see the place.
