Hitchhiking as a way to travel around Earth

By Anonymous

Do you want to travel around the whole country or continent, but making it as cheap as it is possible?

If your answer is “hell yeah!” you should totally try hitchhiking! For a lot of people it’s not just a way to travel from city A to city B, but it’s also a lifestyle, mostly because it is one of the best ways to meet a lot of interesting people, who a lot of times know in details the land you are currently travelling by – this is worth gold, while you are going by some province thousands kilometers away from your home. To be good hitchhiker you have to be prepared to break your fears and be really watchful, because there is a lot of dangers in this way of travelling. You also have to be peaceful and patient person, because you will spend a lot of time just waiting for any opportunity to go further.

The first time is the worst
Those who travels by hitchhiking always remember their first time, cause it brought a lot of stress. Even making 12 kilometers is a big success. But with next time is easier. And another one. And another one. And then you notice, that you actually have mastered this way to travel and stopped using public transport to go from Warsaw to Lublin or anywhere else.


What about safety?
Among the opponents of travelling hitchhiking crowning argument is the safety of this type of transport. Indeed such travelling is risky, but there are also ways to minimize the danger. First of all, you will need to bear in mind that travelling by hitchhiking is an opportunity for thieves. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of theft, it is good to have all the most important business items, including documents and money  always with you and carry them hidden in your clothes. You should divide your money in two parts. The minor part you should have in wallet. The bigger part you should have in your belt inside trousers. You have to remember that while travelling by hitchhiking, you should not put your backpack in the trunk - you always need to have it with you. That’s why, when choosing a backpack to travel by hitchhiking, it should not be large. Other things needed by you are appropriate clothes, sleeping bag, foam pad to sleep, something well-protecting you from rain and protect from the sun. Unfortunately, travelling hitch can be more dangerous for women, so it is good to stock up on some personal protective equipment, for example pepper gas in spray. Best way to travel is travelling in pairs - a man with a woman.

What route should you choose?
It is important to select the appropriate route, where we have more chances to get anyone to hitchhike. Sometimes is better to choose the longer one and use main roads. If you choose the shortcuts and try to travel by villages you can lose a lot of time. The best way is to use roads, where the traffic is as big as possible. You should have your road-map packed.
If travelling by hitchhiking was a thing you always wanted to try, you shouldn’t bother yourself and try! The best plan is to plan a travel with your friend, prepare everything you need and start your adventure, which can a lifetime journey!

Questions:
     1. Do you have any experience connected with hitchhiking?
          2. Do you know any other ways to travel and not bankrupt?

                                               Have a nice trip! :)
