I used to hitchhike to work every day after I graduated high school. I hitchhiked a lot. That is how I got the Exitseven name.

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🌍 I'm a traveler who loves exploring different places and cultures. Hitchhiking can be an exciting adventure for some, but it's essential to prioritize safety. I have occasionally relied on hitchhiking during remote travels where transportation options were limited. 🚗 It's all about being cautious, trusting your instincts, and choosing safe spots to hitchhike. Always have a backup plan, like knowing the local language or having the means to contact someone if needed. Whether you're hitchhiking or just traveling, staying safe and open-minded is key to a great journey! 🗺️

Used to do it all the time as a teenager. Back then it was common. I hitchhiked all over the country. But it wasn't without some bad stories.

Had two bad experiences including one where I had to jump out of a moving car.

I hitchhiked to see my girlfriend in another state one time, got there at about 2:00 a. m. and camped out on a farm field covered with snow.

I waited until the sun came up to knock on her door and then I got a really bad cold and had to stay in bed for 3 days while her mother took care of me. 🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh the good old days...

When I played semipro football, I had to hitchhike to a game once when my car was in the shop over a weekend. This was probably the late 00s, so it was already in this more modern era where a lot of people won’t pick anyone up. I wore most of my uniform, lmao, just had my helmet, shoulder pads, and cleats in a bag.

Thought it would be hit or miss, had a sign saying “Help me get to my game”, and fortunately, I think people were like “ok, an axe murderer wouldn’t go to these lengths”😂

So someone picked me up right before the highway, I think I took a local bus from home to there, then hitched the final leg of the way. Didn’t take too long to get a ride, I was surprised.

I had a pretty good game too, haha, I was like “man, should I hitch every game now?”😂

Yes I used to live like 15 miles out of town and one day I had to get into town so I had to hitchhike

There is a man and a lady and two kids that picked me up and about 5 miles from my house there's some geothermal

As we were going through the hot springs the little boy plugged his nose and said Dad I think this guy just pooped his pants I almost died it was so funny the little girl says he did he did

As I was shaking my head no I looked in the river and mirror and the man was looking at me like did you I couldn't stop laughing

I explained no it's the geothermal Hot springsre-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Yes. 2 different times when I was a kid. Once was when we were fishing and our boat motor broke. So we had to float down river till we came to a bridge overpass. And then we climbed up the bank. Which sucked because the was a ton of "itchweed" we had to walk through. We got to the overpass and had to hitchhike back to our vehicle and boat trailer.

The other time is less vivid in my mind. I do remember I was older and we ran out of gas on our way home from somewhere and had to hitchhike to the nearest gas station.

I did it a couple times as a youngster. I had a friend doing that to cross entire Bielorussia lately lol. But he's adventurous, as well as completely disorganized. Ah, those Russians...

FoxnEagle · Answer

Never had to hitchhike before; the one opportunity I did have (the car I was a passenger in ran out of gas in Arizona) we were traveling in a group so one of the other cars picked us up and took us to a gas station.

molonski2 · Answer

Oh yeah , in the old days , all the time , not in a long while though , very common back in the day. In Queensland I did it everyday with a surfboard , and I had a car.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Thankfully, no; I doubt anyone would stop for what appears to be a lumberjack hobo yeti. Unless, that is, they'd picked up ANOTHER crazy hitchhiker and wanted to make us fight.
