Kings of the Road is a term used to refer to hobos and hobo culture. Hobos are individuals who travel from place to place in search of work or adventure, often living off the land and relying on the kindness of strangers. HOBOES are similar to hobos, but they tend to stay in one place for longer periods of time, often living in makeshift shelters or camps. Both terms are used to describe people who live outside of traditional society and rely on their own resourcefulness to survive.
