I understand, and I would never advise someone to try it when they are hesitant and don't know what to watch out for. Still, I travelled in so many different ways -- roadtripping with friends, ridesharing, bus riding, train taking, plane, boat, etc, etc. And I can say that hitch hiking was my favorite way of all. It was liberating. It was wonderful. It was a joy because of how generous the people that took us were, buying us meals and giving us money so we could fare on the road, making large detours for us, sharing their experiences, offering us to sleep in their trucks, etc. I never had anything like it. I would do it again happily. Of course, there have been few moments where the experiences were less than delightful (getting picked up as a girl alone at 5AM being one of them), but when I was with my boyfriend, the "shady" people drove away as soon as they saw him. So it was a great deterrent for them!Just saying this because of people who think only insane people do it and it's never worth the risk. Well, maybe it is dangerous, but I honestly would not trade this experience for the world.
