I've recently stumbled upon the concept of hitchhiking races. On Hitchwiki they've listed 29 races that have happened in the past but none of them happened in the United States! Do you think it's viable to have a hitchhiking race in the US, particularly from coast to coast? Would you join the...

Looking for tips on hitching a ride with a dog. I understand that it is considerably harder. I'm gonna assume most if any rides would most likely be in the bed of a truck. Has anyone here had luck doing so?

First thing's first- this was my first and last experience riding a Greyhound. The year is 2016; (same year I started lurking here) The trip is from Washington to Chicago; but i didn't make it past North Dakota I'm not one to normally catch a ride on a bus or a hitch; I prefer to ride a...

Hey everyone! I've been homeless in the US (mainly on the east coast) since 2009, and hitchhiking is my primary mode of travel full time. I work seasonally in constructions and carpentry, but my biggest passions are folk music (I play the balalaika) and exploring new places with my animal...

Hi everyone! New to this site so here's a bit about me.... I started squatting at 15, traveling/hitching/hopping at 16. Traveled all over the country multiple times that way until I got pregnant at 20 and got off the road for my kid... Did a lot of domestic, responsible shit in the past 17 years...

So, I know this question was posted back in March, but I wonder what it's like now that we're in August? I was stuck in Honduras when all the shit went down back in March. I got back to the U.S. in May and I am still figuring out what post-covid U.S. really looks like... I've been stuck in...

When I turned 18 I hitchhiked from WA to Portland OR. After lots of soul searching I decided to go to Alaska. I stayed all around the Kenai Peninsula for almost 3 years before returning to WA. I met lots of very nice and a few not so nice folks. I worked for housing and made work connections...

Wrote a little article about my first day hitchhiking in America. Read it if you like : https://link.medium.com/rqa5UT0Zc5

So my work layed me off for a few weeks. I'm covered financially, and have no responsibility whatsoever. What better opportunity to hitchhike i would imagine. Unfortunately, there is a huge pandemic that seems to be going around. Personally, i am not worried a single bit about contracting...

I know pickles suck. But i do like my pickle quite a lot. Im attached to it. I got an alice large with frame while i was working the past couple months. Objectively this would probably be the better bag and better for my back. Any thoughts?

Looking for the best hitch spots around west palm. South of Tampa is shit for catching rides, and I have the ability to get up to W. Palm from monroe county. Haven't hitched the east side of Florida. Any suggestions? I hear Mexico beach area has work and good spots for hitting the road

So there are a handful of states that are illegal to hitchhike in. Idaho, Utah, and Nevada are 3 right next to eachother according to the internet. I hear about a lot of people thumbing through those states though. Anybody ever ran into any troubles while hitchhiking these states?

There's various ideas and misconceptions about the traveling community or those who choose to be homeless and free from Corporate America. With this video I provide my perspective, dismissing the modern ideology that tends to categorize or group people into one.

Failing to catch a westbound train, we were forced to hitchhiking and consequently changed our recent course. RaZin_da_'bos Entertainment

"What do you mean you can't take me to Vegas?" "Apparently some other guy got that load, and dispatch is trying to send me to Montana. I'm sorry." I rubbed my eyes and tried to think quickly enough that I wouldn't go into panic mode. I had just woken up to the news that a promised ride after a...

Hi! I'm looking to HitchHike if the circumstances allow it or otherwise drive from Toronto, Canada to Mexico City, Mexico in the summer of 2020. I have zero experience with HitchHiking and have never been to Mexico. I would greatly appreciate any advice on which routes to take, which areas to...

The most surprising thing about Salt Lake City was how kind it was to me. A weekend full of lovely coincidences, happy surprises, and a boost of morale that I super needed. Steve dropped me off at a Walmart off of I-15, and I immediately started making my way to the closest gay bar for a cold...

I woke up. I heard voices. It was still pitch black outside so it had to be at least before 5am. I looked to the north and saw a flashlight scanning the trees a little ways up the path from us. The flashlight was getting closer. I didn't know what to make of it, I didn't know whether to wake up...

The first time I hitched i was 17. I was in an accident and told I would never walk again. You don't tell a teen they can't do something. As soon as I was out of the hospital I grabbed my crutches and hit the road. From Napa to Portland, main. I got a lot of rides from a lot of people but what I...
