Changes

It can take a while before you know how to hitch-hike fast and efficient and also experienced hitch-hikers sometimes need patience. In my own country I rarely need more than twenty minutes to find a driver when I am in a good or reasonable hitch-hiking environment. I started hitch-hiking actively in spring 2003. Before that I hitch-hiked on occasion, for example to go back to the starting point of a hiking trip or to get back to a camping. The first experience was in the summer of 1993, when my father in a moment decided to hitch-hike with me when we were walking in the French Alps. That way we managed to get up very high on the mountain. Otherwise we would not have succeeded in doing that.
