Been re-reading The Canada Chronicles by Matthew Jackson recently, which is an account of some guy’s hitchhiking adventures over a four year period in the 90s in my country. Fun read, made me wonder if anyone here as any stories they want to share (will also accept shout outs for someone else’s cool hitchhiking story).
I’ve hitchhiked from Finland to China and onwards to India.
And then of course shorter trips, such as many trips between Finland and Spain. Etc.
Absolutely the best way to travel anywhere!
Absolutely the best way to travel! There’s a community for hitchhikers in the Forumverse, BTW: [email protected] .
Well that’s an instant sub. Thanks!
And 100%. Risky? Yep (here in Canada we have something called the Highway of Tears in British Columbia, which for a lot of folks is the first thing that comes to mind when you say ‘hitchhiking’). But there’s some great experiences to be had as well alongside those risks.
I will acknowledge that as a white guy, the risks are slightly lower than they might be for other folks, and this is definitely a function of privilege. But specifically Canadian context, can’t speak for other places.
