Adapting to change, while experiencing life on the road. This is a unique insight into a life we all at one point have had a thirst for. The music is excellent. The story of Conor Girard and his positive free outlook on life leaves one feeling like no matter where you are in life, there is always a train coming through to pick you up and take you to another place. Not only is this piece about the struggle we all face in finding who we are at the crucial time in our lives called the early twenties, but also a view into what it takes to survive as a traveler in today's society. I highly recommend this film for any and everyone!

Exile by Choice... I was really only very interested in the film being that one of the gentleman in the film I went to high school with. After starting the movie I found myself drawn into it, something I had not felt watching a movie in quite sometime and I do like to think myself quite an avid movie watcher. The music was home grown and fit the film perfectly. Everything flowed really well and I really loved it. Gives you a view of life on the road with very little to your name. Makes you appreciate the things that we have as well as makes you WANT to be out there with them, living it up, enjoying what the world has to offer and just getting down and living within your means even if they are minimal. The only thing that sucked was that Bear didn't stop by and see me in SLC! Movie was fantastic! well worth your time! Watch it and be jealous of their freedom as well as learn to love what you have!

This beautiful documentary, at it's core, is about learning to break out of "the box" and find your own way in life. These snippets of life on the road are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes alarming, sometimes enlightening, and sometimes all of the above. The film neither glamorizes or demonizes the choices Bear and Mike make. It just shows the raw truth of their experiences. It's a lifestyle that not many ever consider, and even fewer ever get a taste of. It is different than poverty and homelessness by force of circumstances; it is, well, "exile by choice." The scenes are interspersed with Bear's mesmerizing music, which sets the mood and atmosphere of the whole film. I applaud the guys in this film for living life on their own terms. I think everyone owes it to themselves to do the same - whether that means riding the rails, living on a coconut farm, or settling down behind a white picket fence. It's your life. No one can live it but you.
