Have I been living in the god damn matrix since covid?... Where the hell is everyone, just several years back I could barely go without running into other fellow hitchhikers and train hoppers heading through town. Now it's a rarity and even shit I hear from truckers and other people I get rides...

Hi there! I've hitchhiked on and off for years now, and am currently in Spain. I love documenting what's what about hitchhiking and other alternative travel, because it's so underrepresented. Also looking into sailing if I can catch out from a port here, but seems to be challenging for a...
