How I did it: If you like to talk to stranger, you're not afraid of the unknown and penniless; hitchhike might be a good experience for you. It's easy but you got to know where you go.  I have a very good experience at it. When I first attended college I hitchhiked every single morning and night 'cause I was living in the suburb and dislike common transportation. Let me tell you; in six months I've never been late to school! For some it's not a safe idea but for me it was really inspiring to meet different people. My security was my cell phone; in any case it's easy to dial. But I never had to use it. When you feel the guy's a little weird, you just don't pop in.

Lessons & tips: -Always ask where the driver is going before to get in
-Ask to be leave nearby where you're going, never at the exact place
-Don't be shy to talk about anything, if it please the driver
-SMILE! ^^
