Hitchhiking – a way to get out of the comfort zone
If you want to be in the unusual circumstances for himself, then hitchhiking is what you need. This is just one reason why you should, at least once in life to go on a journey hitchhiking.
Everyone wants to see the various parts of the Earth firsthand, but in most cases, this desire still remains a dream. Financial component is one of the main barrier, which is an essential problem in tourism, but it’s all excuses. If you want to do it, you will always find a way.
Usually, the fare is half of the total budget. This is a good alternative – hitchhiking.
– I started hitchhiking just out of curiosity. My friend and I went to the Crimea three years ago. This was our first hitchhiking experience. Frankly, I’m an introvert and I have a social phobia and it is so hard for me to go to the first contact. Thus, hitchhiking for me is a way to go beyond your comfort zone, to overcome ourselves and look at the world as what it is, “- says an experienced tourist Daria. But the advantages of this type of travel is not only a financial factor. There are a lot of them – new adventures, experience and friends.

Diana figured out a valuable lesson: “Hitchhiking is a good filter for bad people because they usually do not stop and such things are very rare. You communicate with people with which in real life you, probably, would have never met, “lipyetskiy” oligarch, a soldier from “Azov” and illegal gastarbeiter, professors, teachers and truckers, and each life story is an adventure. ”
But, of course, hitchhiking is still another side to the coin. Of course, every time, standing with a sign in the middle of the road is a great risk to run into trouble. Your journey – a constant puzzle, because you can not always predict even where you will spend the night. You depend on driver, on his favorite music and on unplanned stops and you can not ask to stop every 5 minutes to photograph the beautiful castle or landscape, but, still, the main disadvantage of the hitchhiking is despair: “When you stand 5 hours and there is nothing,” – said tourist Maxim.
Hitchhiking – interesting, budgetary and unpredictable experience that tourists will not forget ever, because when you sit down in the car of an unknown driver, you do not always know where exactly how it will end.
