hitchhiking

Hitchhiking (also known as thumbing, autostop or hitching) is a means of transportation that is gained by asking individuals, usually strangers, for a ride in their car or other vehicle. The ride is usually, but not always, free.
Nomads have also used hitchhiking as a primary mode of travel for the better part of the 20th century, and continue to do so today.
