About Bindle

bin•dle (noun): a bundle of clothes or bedding, stereotypically carried on a stick by runaway children and transients

We all wander through our lives, and we collect memories, possessions, and relationships. Bundle them all together, and you have yourself a bindle. Our zine represents a collection of writing and art and photography – a bindle of creativity that we send across America, a tramp in search of a mailbox.

Transient parlance

• Hobo: A person that travels from place to place seeking employment.
• Tramp: A person that travels from place to place, without seeking employment.
• Bum: A person that does not seek employment or travel from place to place.
