What do people normally do about mail when they are thru hiking?
I live in Iowa but my parents live in Toronto so I can’t forward it to them.
My sister is in Florida so I could forward my mail to her but then I would lose my state residency for cheap tuition and the 2018 election.
I could rent a post office box, but I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that homeland security frowns on this.
I could ask a friend to handle it, but this seems like a massive imposition.
Lastly I could just rent an appartment, pay rent in advance, and forward mail there. This would have the added bonus of being a place I could come home too when I finish. But it would also be extremely expensive and dig into the money I’ve saved for my hike.
