I am thinking about doing some hitchhiking his weekend.  I really want to go up north, but I know I'll have to thumb a ride if I want to go.  Do you ever hitchhike?
No, I never have!  I'd be too nervous about getting a ride with a stranger!
It is a little nerve wracking, but it really makes you feel alive.  Plus, the rides are free so think of all the gas money you save!
Good point! And you probably meet some nice people!
I have met some nice people, and I have met some people I want to run away from.  I have even tried hitching a ride in some other countries, but the hand signals are different everywhere you go so you have to be even more careful you don't offend someone.
