My best friend and I hitchhiked with no predetermined destination. We ended up in Santa Cruz, and we might stay here.

My best friend and I hitchhiked out of our shitty, central California town. We made it to Petaluma (I LOOOOVED Petaluma), Tomales, Dillon Beach, Valley Ford, San Rafael, San Francisco, Colma, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, San Gregorio Beach, and Santa Cruz.
It wasn’t hard to get rides. I guess what I heard about a male-female hitchhiking duo was right, people seem more likely to pick us up. We never had any scary encounters, they were all positive.
A common thread that connected the majority of our rides was feathers hanging in the car! Sortof odd.
Definitely one of the best experiences of my life, I will definitely continue to do this.
After being kicked out (or as…some call it “moving out”) of my mom’s house earlier this year, I’ve definitely been living it up hobo style. Spanging, dumpstering, hitching, squatting, and all with my best friend. I’ve never been happier!
