Hitching Down Under: Still a Very Happening Thing
In Australia, like in the United States there's a general feeling that hitching is a thing of the past, just not viable any more. The murder of seven hitch-hikers not far from my home didn't help lighten that view any! Still, I wasn't about to let that shake me -- well I was, but I hitched anyway ... believe me, hitching is alive and well in Oz, and thumbing there was one of the most beautiful months I can remember. Here's the story.

The Dangers of Hitching: Passive, Active and Ride Sharing
Hitch-hiking is generally held to be a rather dangerous activitiy. Some people are so afraid of the idea they'll go to any lengths to paint a hitch-hiker as a suicidal freak, particularly if that hitch-hikker happens to be a woman. Ride sharing in turn is often presented as a safe alternative, hook up with a driver through a notice board, or organisation that lends some credibility and forethought to the whole deal. And yet, is it all so safe? And is hitching all so dangerous?

The World Hitch-Hiker's Association: culture and hospitality among hitch-hikers world-wide
Hitch-hikers are almost by nature a solitary species, gathering in pairs at times, perhaps triplets ... it's just the nature of the beast so to speak. Yet, they have a lot in common, they share values, ideals, imagination and stories. Maybe there's some scope for them to band together a little. It's happening in fact, and there are some loose models in other sub-cultures which are interesting. This article explores some ideas in that direction.

The Fraternity Among Hitch-hikers
Hitch-hiker's are usually pretty independent, or solitary beasts. They frown when another hitcheer or two turns up to compete for rides, and crowds don't travel as well as loners or pairs. But there is something all the same, that makes them mighty glad to see one another much of the time. A certain fraternity. Here's what reminded me so strongly of it.
