If you are a sober traveler in need of a hot shower or a place to hang out, contact me if passing through the Ozark Mountains of [[Missouri]] so we can connect. I want to hear your stories, and I may have a spare couch and bedroom for you.
I first hitchhiked in 2010, then hitchhiked for most of my free time from 2011-2014, then did less hitchhiking after that. These days I prefer to travel by freight trains , bicycles, and motorized bicycle, and I recommend you do the same. Hitchhiking is a great way to see your world travel for free if you are willing to accept the risks. Take Only you can decide what risks are acceptable for you. Hitchhikers are notoriously vulnerable to violent crime. Do not be a victim. Please take a picture of your rides' license plates and your rides' faces and send them to someone to make hitchhiking much, much saferrelatively safe. Carry pepper spray and other tools that you are comfortable with and can legally carry. Always wear Wear a seat belt. There is one accident fatality in the United States for every million miles a person drives. That ratio is probably higher for you since people who pick up hitchhikers tend to take more risks.
