Newbie looking for a ride-share from Portland or Seattle

Post by edith38 » Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:27 am

Newbie burner looking for a ride-share from Portland, Oregon. I am from Estonia and going to a Burning man first time. I am traveling in Canada for a few months and hope to finalize my trip in Burning man festival. During my travels I mostly hitchhike but would love to have a ride-share from Portland or Seattle since with camping stuff and all other stuff needed to survive week in desert hitchhiking
might be a bit extreme unfortunately :). Therefor i would love to find a car or RV or any other form of ride share going to a festival. If you wonder if I would make a good road trip companion, I would like to think so. You are welcome to look over my couchsurfing profile to get a better idea of who i am https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/edith38

Welcome to ePlaya!

A good friend from school was second generation, both parents Estonian. You can add to searching / connecting for a ride with https://burningman.org/event/brc/rideshare/ and http://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/.

Something wrong with the web address you gave. Clicking on the link opens a new tab in eplaya, cut and paste takes you to Couchsurfing but cannot find an Edith38

There is a Portland burner facebook group here you may want to try posting to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/portlandburners/

Also, if you're willing to travel down to San Francisco you could potentially take Burner Express as a backup should a ride share not pan out.

Thank you for the replies. I sent a request to join Portland fb group, thank you for the info.

Maybe couchsurfing link only works when you are loged in. did not realize that before.
https://rideshare.burningman.org/ directs me to an empty page unfortunately. any ideas what might be wrong?
