Hitchhiking (also known as thumbing, hitching, autostop or thumbing up a ride) is a means of
transportation that is gained by asking people, usually strangers, for a ride in their automobile
or other road vehicle to travel a distance that may either be short or long. The latter may require
many rides from different people; a ride is usually but not always free
Hitch-hiking has advantages and disadvantages. I'll start from the good ones .Hitchhiking is one
of the cheapest or even free ways of travelling. You have to only stick out you thumb and wait till
sombody stops and will pick you up. Hitchhiking is good when you don't have money or driving license.
Thumbing, for some, may be the only way to get where they need to go.It can also be way to meet new
interesting people.
There are also bad reasons to travelling that way. However, hitchhikers also risk being picked up by someone who
is an unsafe driver or even personally dangerous. The driver can also steal your stuff, so you have to keep a close eye
on bags, wallet, documents and everything you have.
