A Guide To Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking is probably one of the most reckless, unpredictable and nerve-wracking mode of transport that you can ever try. However, there are times when the occasion calls for it. This is most especially true when you are in an exotic location with no other mode of transportation. To help you know how to hitchhike the right way, here are some of the information that you need to know:

·         Find the perfect location.

The success of hitchhiking depends on the location that you are in. The ideal spot for this type of activity would definitely be an out of town road where people who will be travelling in long distances are most likely to pass by.

·         Stay safe on the road.

One of your biggest goals when hitchhiking is to stay safe at all times. That is understandable. Because of this, it is recommended that you stay safe on the road by traveling with a friend. Keep in mind that there is safety in numbers so it is best that you do that.

·         Make a thumbs up.

If this is your first time to hitchhike, then it is recommended that you take advantage of the charity hitchhikers that are currently the trend in UK. In addition to being a great opportunity to do fund raising, you are most likely to catch the attention of the drivers if you will wear a charity T shirt. In addition to that, being affiliated with a charity will make you look less threatening for the drivers so you have higher chances of finding a driver that would be willing to pick you up and drop you off where you wish to be dropped off.

·         Avoid over planning.

Putting too much thought on hitchhiking will certainly lead you nowhere. A hitchhiking trip naturally chaotic so there is no way for you to go around it.
