Hey all,
New traveler here, anyone have ways they’ve avoided bad scenarios while hitching?

Thank you that’s a great idea!I'm really bad at picking up red flags, but one piece of advice I can offer you is to have somebody who you can send plate numbers of who picks you up. Send them either a decent quality picture or a text containing the state, plate number, make and model of the car, it should all be on the back somewhere
This is a good idea, but I'm gonna be honest with you. You'll stop doing this pretty quickly. You'll learn to trust your instinct. And you'll get sick of having to update people all the time.have somebody who you can send plate numbers of who picks you up.

Yeah. I've seen articles and blogs and shit saying this. If anyone did it, they did it once.Nobody does this.

Really? I thought it was kinda common
I don't ever personally remember doing it myself but I knew a few people that talked about doing it. Might have just been a couple niche cases then, or maybe a regional thing because the area was dangerous.I'm trying to think, I mean maybe me and an ex-gf did it once when I was 17/18, but other than that once you start hitching and building up confidence you kinda get a better intuition of who you want to ride with or just say fuck it and take whatever comes your way. I'd be offended if someone I picked up hitchhiking took a photo of my license plate! Ha.
If your a young girl though, I'd say yeah...why not.
