hitchhiking

It was a long day with me and my travel partner, we had been dropped off at a gas station between the cities of Utrecht and Antwerp, with our final destination being Amsterdam (which is farther away than Utrecht). For the whole day we tried using our sign to get straight to Amsterdam, but...

Bill Haslem and Jimmy Haslem who founded Pillot also own the Cleveland Browns and despite being billionaires many times over there truck stops have had a crackdown on hitchhikers and bikers who use their showers and food services. At many locations you would have a Flying J on one side of the...

Hello friends, I plan on hitchhiking through great britain and just recently bought a good camera to have more options with photographing. Now i'm not sure if i should take the camera with me on my trip. Obviously it can break or get in contact with dirt, sand, water, etc. which wouldn't be...

Just left a job and heading back to the boat. Orah! Hobo life is alive in the UK

Hey all, going to be in Bratislava next month and I'm wondering whether anyone is in that area or has any leads for places to go/ways to get around Slovakia in general. Is there any kind of punk/underground scene in Bratislava? Love to hitch, squat, camp, potentially hop trains, and am super...

My buddy and i were hitchhiking from Paris to London using hitchwiki, but got confused by the instructions at Charles De Gualle airport. Were they trying to tell us to sit near the toll booth headed towards Lille? Because it kinda sounded like we needed to walk onto the motorway. Just kinda got...

Paris is so lame now why did noone tell me this? Can anyone break me out of this prison? I want a hitchhiking buddy atleast.

Last night had my last bicycle stolen in Venice, and while I still love Venice Beach like the memory of a home Ive never visited, it's time to bounce. LA in general may be too much, too fast (and tok grimy) for my underdeveloped impulse control, and I just keep getn caught slipping. Got to...

Hello all! My name's Oliver, I'm new here to STP. I've lived in Portland for most of my life and I'm often near there, although I'm not very good at sitting still. I love taking photos of anything and everything. I love weird art, weird people, weird music. I'm interested in anarchy and the...

Howdy Folks! I ain't been on a forum in at least 15 years but this seems like a community I'm all in on. I've been on the road since 2017. I had a mental breakdown caused by stress that led to sustained drug use in Boulder County. I had a "come to jesus/aliens" like "spiritual awakening" in...

Yo! I'm Dodo and im on an unstoppable mission. I have to get to California by the first week of April. I'm looking for different avenues but I'm either gonna try to hitch or take a greyhound or a combination. Looking for other options first though. I lived in a shitty van for too long and had a...

Hi! I'm Jasper, I'm a 22 year old Massachusetts native and I've been train hopping and hitching since 2024. Currently settled down in Kansas City, MO with my cousin but we plan on hitting the road again once the weather warms up. I've lurked on this forum before but I decided to make an account...

well y'all I did it. What was supposed to be an overnight hitch with a trucker became a cross country week long ordeal. I think I hit the hitch lottery because as a female this could've gone completely different and now I'm concerned that even if I attempt to do this again (something I will and...

Hello, have been lurking here on and off for a year now. Decided to make an account because I have decided to go hitchhiking in Europe soon, and thought this would be a good resource. I am a relatively young adult just now getting out after being a shut in for several years. I want to understand...

Some places are kinda hard to get out the way you want. Hate to have to backtrack to go forward or stay too long. Ya know like it's cool if you're traveling but I think more than a day or 2 it's time to roll out. When I hitch I have a destination for work. No day labor here. Hate to be a pain...
