I just got done hitch hiking around the US for two months. I had many people tell me I was the first hitch hiker they have ever picked up, because I was clean cut and carrying a large pack. They figured I was out doing something, rather than trying to just run away.

Interesting tips, personally I’m too lazy to put the thumb out, but you wrote some good stuff. Just to add and I guess it means anywhere but hailing from Kiwi-land myself I would be really careful about whose car you’re getting into. The stats are high in NZ for overseas hitchhikers that have disappeared or encountered problems.

hostel valencia, i think you´re right. there is a study: “Increasing the bra-size of the female-hitchhiker was significantly associated with an increase in number of male drivers, but not female drivers, who stopped to offer a ride.”

These are indeed fine tips for the traveller. They are so easy that it’s easier to forget these details. Thanks to formulate these tips in a nice post. Will keep it handy and use it for my next trip, if i am going on one…..

well i dont know much about hitchkking but in my opinion you need to be a woman, good curves would help as well, in spain where i came from they did on TV a programme, kind of Big Brother, about travelling htchkking from Moscow to Beijin, and they all were couples, guess who won….a couple of beatiful women

I did a race with 12 people hitchhiking accross Canada a few years ago. We had a hostel international sponsor and and waited for people at each major city before moving on. took 10 days to get everyne from halifax to vancouver (including a few days of drinking,naked body searches, and dead birds, and underage pornostars. Im in Japan at the moment… was thinking of trying to get people on board for a race from shanghai to paris next year. or maybe not a race but rather a mass exhibition. Anyone have a guess on how long we would need? also anyone else interested?

Hitching in Germany is incredibly simple, once you get on the Autobahn. Getting there is the complicated part, but I had no problems going from Hamburg to Berlin, Dresden, etc (single female). I highly recommend signs, since Germans are incredibly efficient, and unless you tell them where you want to go, almost nobody will stop for you. Tip–the first 1-3 letters on a license plate tell you where a car is from (and about half the time, where it’s going)
