to hit the road
to begin a journey
to travel on a shoestring
travel with very little money; on a tight budget
right up your street
exactly the type of thing that someone is interested in or is good at doing
on the homestretch
the last part/leg of the journey
to make your way somewhere
to travel or move to a place
to take someone for a ride
to deceive or cheat someone
to live out of a suitcase
to stay very briefly in several places, never unpacking one's luggage
at the crack of dawn
very early in the morning
off the beaten track
away from populated areas or areas popular with tourists
