The Positive Aspects and Dangers of Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking seems to have made its way back in recent years. It is a method of venturing by getting rides from motorists to arrive at various places. Some individuals adopt the experience that hitchhiking provides, while some think it’s frightening and holds unwanted dangers. Hitchhiking is widely accepted in many countries such as the United States and Ireland, however, there is still a question of its legal status (of hitchhiking).  If you plan to hitchhike on your ventures, you will need to have a few luggage with you. A backpack is the best option you will have. While hitchhiking offers great experiences, there are downsides to it too. Let’s take a look at those. 

The Pros of Hitchhiking

If you happen to be a friendly and sociable person, hitchhiking may appeal to you as you get to meet different people from all walks of life. A driver willing to give a ride to a hitchhiker is most likely sociable and always open to new conversations. Getting to know other people and listening to their stories can be life-changing from the lessons you learn from it. 

The general rule in hitchhiking is that it is free. You don’t really have to pay motorists to hitch a ride for you to get to places. But in some places like Argentina and Nigeria, you will have to pay the motorists you hitched a ride on. So you will really need to know the rules of hitchhiking in other countries. 

The chance to go to sites that you haven’t really decide on is part of the fun. A motorist can suggest a place or even bring you to a whole new place for more fun, adventure, and learn new things. For many writers, this is an opportunity to find a whole new topic for their next eBook so you can save your KDSpy to do all the work for you. 

The Cons of Hitchhiking

The most apparent dangers of hitchhiking are the risk of falling into the wrong set of motorists who have bad intentions. If it’s your first time to hitch a ride, don’t do it alone. You would rather bring with you a friend or travel in groups. And to all women out there, never hitchhike alone. The risk is too high to take. 

Hitchhiking means getting to meet and travel with complete strangers. Therefore you will have to put your guards up and keep your trust minimum. Don’t leave your baggage in the trunk, it should always be with you. That’s why it’s highly recommended to keep your luggage at minimum when traveling especially when you plan to hitchhike. 

Let’s face it, not all motorists are open to hitchhiking, so the tendency is that the wait can take too long. So if you are really decided to go on a hitchhiking adventure, you will have to chill and be calm to have a fun-filled venture.
