hitchhiking

Hei New here, been lurking awhile and super pleased to have found such an informative awesome site. Was squatting in London UK a couple years back but ended up joining the rat race of life trying to keep my head above water in a society that is designed to fuck over people, who dont conform to...

4:51pm 10/10/16 St.Cloud, FL. "......I don't know who, or how often I will be picked up, so either all or the most interesting answers will be in here. I am expecting to walk a lot. And a few things to consider is that some highways have multiple lanes. To be in a lane farthest...

I am currently trying to hitch south out of denver to new mexico and a) never hitched a ride and b) I don't know Denver well. Any suggestions on good spots to wave a sign for that? I was unlucky today.

Hey guys, I have experience hitchhiking, with (obviously) mixed results. NYS however, has always proven to be a challenge for me compared to other parts of the country. I'm about an hour south of Rochester, in a rural area. Does anyone have any experience hitching out of this part of NY? I am...

I have noticed that the nicer I look, the faster I get hitches. For a while, I only had one white shirt that quite quickly became a dirty brown shirt. The longer I traveled, the dirtier it got, and the longer it seemed to take to find a ride. I eventually ended up losing the shirt somehow (sadly...

I took a Greyhound bus for a cheaper way to travel across America (Spent about $80 for around trip to Atlanta Georgia and back to West Palm Beach Florida). First time was not so bad. The second time was like being in a Third-world country. Willing to take my chances Hitchhiking, I need some...

Okay so like I'm about to be homeless so I figure I might as well make the most of it. I'm gonna take what little money I have and book it. Problem is I'm not entirely sure what I should spend on and what I'll be okay with out. I already have a shitty tent and sleeping bag and a duffel bag I can...

This was an okay method for travel, but it was kinda half assed. While I had the benefit of bungeeing my backpack to my strangely shaped bmx sized bike, I was getting passed by mountain bikes, and played leap frog with joggers as I took smoke breaks. Hitchhiking was awkward because of the bike...

So I am going to be hitching down to the slabs soon for the jambo and I was wondering which highway would be the best one to take? I want to be near the ocean and stuff but I also want to see as much cool stuff as possible. So, weighing the options, what are some good things about either one?

Hi all. I'll be rolling in to ATL Tuesday night. Need to get to Marietta. I'm new to this. Anyone have any tips?

Sometime in the near future, I want to hitch from PDX to Twisp, WA. I don't know Northern Washington at all. There are three routes suggested here, including --> I-84/US-97 --> I-5/US-97 --> I-5/US-2 Considering the remote location and the potentially nasty weather through the fall/winter, I...

I will be adding to/editing this travel guide with any useful comments that come in. The US 101 through northern California is probably the most popular hitch-hiking route in the country. I've hitched up and down it a lot and can usually cover this 350 mile stretch in 2 days. California law does...

3 days and 1000 kilometers What's up my dudes, so me and @Caro here from StP have been unknowingly co-occupying Melbourne. We met up at Lentils the other day and it didn't take us more than a brief introduction to decide to hitchhike the Great Ocean Road together. By the time we had finished...

I haven't seen as many other travelers rocking army coveralls as i thought i would. Is there a reason for this? I'm pretty green, solo thumber that hasn't been on the road very long, but i picked up a coverall at a flea market for $25 and I've since tossed most of my other clothing. I might be...

Hey Everyone Name is SuneeShines. I have been reading STP for a few months because travel and adventure is just really interesting to me. I don't really have any qualms with working my dead end jobs (as long as I can start in the Afternoon). I don't have a wanderlust that can only be...

hey! :) I'm Jure, from Slovenia (yes it's a fucking small country overseas), part of a squatting collective in my hometown and nomad by heart. Even though I'm being a good-boy-settled-down multimedia student, I go hitchhiking and tramping around the world every summer. I'm here mostly for...
