I know it sounds strange, especially these days, but I've been hitchhiking across America. I like the older world feel it gives me, traveling in a way that trusts strangers for a ride in their automobile. Makes me feel like I'm time traveling back when there wasn't as much technology, for some reason.
Isn't hitchhiking unsafe nowadays?
It can be.. all you're doing is standing by the road and using hand signals to flag down drivers in order to ask for a free ride. So, you never know who you'll interact with. But for some people, that mode of transportation is all that's available to them.
That is true. I'm sure there has to be a better way though. I mean you have to deal with cars and people but also the weather.
You may have a point.. but because of its rich history.. how common it's been throughout time, and how prevalent it is across the world and how often it's practiced, very few places have laws in place to restrict or prevent it. They see it as unpreventable, in a way. So, it will always be around.
