When it comes to “hitchhike” on road then there are some important facts to keep in mind all the time!
Directly, coming to the point! The important ways to “hitchhike” are as follows:
1. First, to start, you have to get out of cities or villages, or wherever you live. You’ve to be on the right road, going in the right direction. It’s really basic things!
2. Stick up your thumb 👍🏻 pointing towards the direction of your destination going, indicating vehicles to stop for lift.
3. Look decent like shave and stuff. And try to wear some clean clothes or hide behind your backpack so that nobody sees what you look like!😉
4. Keep an eye-contact with the driver at the time when your’re trying to stop them for lift.
5. Don’t hitchhike during night especially on highways. But, if you find the place to be somewhat safe appearing, then only in some urgent cases hitchhike from the gas stations or from the toll plazas.
Note:- From my point of view and experience, avoid hitchhiking from anywhere during the night time as it’s not really ‘safe’ in 95% of
cases and the stuff you know!!!
6. Be in a good mood always like it’s your choice you’ve chosen to hitchhike so don’t be grumpy and always have the patience during hitchhiking. Don’t expect people will stop because you’ll be wrong in 99.74% of cases! “No matter how long you wait, the right ride will come.”
7. Talk with the drivers when you’re in the car, because that’s the only way you can repay them. They would like to hear some interesting stories and experiences, if you’ve the one! 🙂
“So yeah, go out there, enjoy your life and challenge yourself!”
