One Bag, $20: Julian

One backpack, twenty bucks, and one town to figure out.

By Ganadi

You arrive in Maple Junction, Indiana, with one backpack and exactly $20. Julian Rivera, a 23-year-old traveler with a camera and one bus ticket left, offers to help you weigh the day’s choices—not pay your way. Take a diner shift, trust a ride, spend on the next bus, or stay for the county fair. Your cash, route, and whether Julian keeps traveling with you change with every decision.
