Ten Basic Hitchhiking Tips

Posted: December 22nd, 2009 under Tips and Trick.

1) Dress appropriately. While waiting in the street for the next trip you can expect that the weather can change dramatically. Choose your clothes wisely, if you’re ready for bad weather, you have your clothing is comfortable and convenient.

2) Pack light. You did not really realize all your belongings with you. A backpack medium is sufficient for all the things you need on your trip.

3) clean. You look much better chance of a ride hitchhiking, if you look clean and nice because no one wants a stranger in the car dirty. Remember that people who are used to make the decision to quit, you look like. Another important thing to keep clean, your backpack, you do not do it on the ground. Personal hygiene is essential, even if you spent the night in a tent in the woods.

can see 4) in the places where the pilot hitchhiking, and it is safe for them to stop and pick them up. In fact, in most countries there are laws against hitchhiking on motorways. A good place for hitchhiking would be if the slow speeds, drivers will see a quick and safe stop for you, without violating the rules of the road. Avoid hitchhiking on the road at high speed and lots of traffic (it is not difficult to hitchhike, it might be for you and the driver can no longer dangerous), bus stops and the doors town and city. Service stations and truck stops are good places for a ride. The trucks are the best – they can be long lines and truckers tell you many useful things to eat, where they stop and hitchhiking.

5) be interesting and polished. If someone stops you, never a means to descend. Especially in the city of large sheets of most people tend to drive very short distances from their homes. So if you’re not sure of the acceptance of the vehicle or the driver a feeling of driving. If omitted in the car, you do not have to follow the conversation. Do not fall asleep – that really annoyed the driver. Do not be afraid of the language barrier, if the journey is long, you learn to overcome. Most drivers hate it when the person who took it there and said nothing.

6) Do not travel in large groups. to hitchhike my opinion the best way is alone. A hitchhiker single much better chance of getting a ride out of three. For two guys, it will be difficult for an elevator to travel to any combination, so if you do not really alone and you’re a guy, consider the choice of a young girl as a companion.

7) Do you plan your trip. This is really self-explanatory:)

Stop 8) during the day. Your best bet is to start in the early hours of the morning when there are more cars on the roads. During the late evening and night, not only almost impossible for a lift, but it is dangerous to hitchhike in the twilight or darkness.

9) Do not be afraid of small roads. Remember, you are more large cities, the easier it is to catch a ride.

10) Stay in touch with your relatives or friends. Call every day and let them know where you are and where you go that day.
