oh my god ok I know it's dangerous as hell but the chances that I'd actually go do it is next to zero anyway since I don't have a GROUP of people (10+) to do it with. do you think I'm not aware of the risks associated with it. you make it seem like i'm going to do this BY MYSELF

you guys have to stop worrying about everything. not everyone in the world are vicious criminals, shit.

You can't hitchike with a group of people.
Less chances of getting picked up the more people you have.

I was talking about freight hopping ._.

and I was asking if anyone had any stories to share. you know what
mods please lock this

I was hoping that posting this in the mature discussion would generate at least a more *tolerant* conversation but all I'm getting is "thats stupid of you" "youre going to get raped"

People are dicks get over it.
I hitchike all the time,never had a problem.
But you made a discussion, and more people than not don't really hitchike, and for some reason think rape is funny. Since that is the greater part of the population's opinion that is what the greater amount of posts in this thread will be. Gotta take that shit into account.

You boys are retarded. Like I can't fathom it sometimes.

Fuck what anyone has told you, you can be a female and travel alone and be totally fine no problem. There is not a rapist on every street corner. I met more female solo travelers in my roaming than male ones. You just have to be confident and brave.

Traveling is the most incredible experience you can have and I hope you get the courage to backpack or hop trains or whatever cause things always have a way or working out and everything everything will be alright

Cloest thing to this that i've done is, sense i ride my scooter everyfuckingwhere is when im on a smooth road is grabbing onto the back of cars and trucks and buses and shit until they see me.

One time the guy saw me and just sped up quickly as fuck so i let go but sense i have no break *riding an addict* i couldn't stop so i just ran a red light and almost got ran over. Another time a cop noticed me and started following the guy and turned his lights on so i cut thru a parking lot and then a gas station.
