The Hitch-hiker's Guide to Everywhere: A Hitch-hiker's Database
One of the biggest problems with popular hitch-hiking guidebooks is that they go out of date. You follow the advice they give, and find you're standing one newly build motorway, or the road you hoped for has been bypassed and traffic is gone. Thrice I set out of London with a 1985 guidebook to draw on and faced problems like these. Here's a suggestion on how to work around that, cover more ground and stay up to date, it can be done, and I believe will be done, it's just a question of time ...

Hitch-hiking: A Course in Personal Development?

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.

Hitching around Switzerland on the eve of the 24th, brought to light some interesting paradoxes about this time of year I've long been aware of.

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.

Why do People (Still) Pick Up Hitch-Hikers?
So many people seem to think that hitching is a dying if not dead art. There are indeed many fewer hitchers than there were in many western countries, but for some reason it seems still to work very well ... Many fewer people seem to have the courage to hitch, but people just keep on stopping regardless. So just why do they stop?
