=== How to get Money while asking for rides at Gas stations(Gold!) ===
This method works the best when you are in a gas station asking for rides, but it can be used every time you get a negative friendly answer.I get a high success rate doing this.
Template:
(1)-"Hi! Maybe you can give me a ride towards (place)? I'm going to a friend's (farm) , and I'm doing this because I don't have money to pay for the bus fare."
(2)- if they answer negative, you can say : "maybe can you give me some money to pay for some food along the way / for the bus fare?"
This way you are using the time you ask people in your favour, even if they don't give you a ride they will very likely give you some money.
''You can use body language to look embarassed by putting your hand on the back of your head , looking down with the eyes ,an embarrassed forced smirk and lowering the voice on the second part of the frase in (1) after the comma to give it enfasis.It Will be effective.''

When stuck somewhere, your best bet (better than just keeping on walking...) is talking to people in the street. Talk about travel related things and expand on them (i.e. directions, where to hitch, etc, use your imagination!); be friendly and genuine, and incredible things will happen. If you're travelling in a Muslim country, you can basically disregard all of this, as Muslim hospitality will clothe and feed you without you ever saying a word!
=== Transportation ===
Well, as this is a wiki about hitchhiking, we don't really need to elaborate on this. Also think about [[freight hopping|trainhopping]] though, both on freight trains and on passenger trains (although this is illegal and hitchwiki obviously doesn't support that ;-))
=== Food ===
There are numerous ways of feeding yourself when penniless and travelling. Next to benefiting from people's friendliness, there's dumpster diving (or skipping, in the UK), waiting opposite of outdoor pizzerias and preying on leftover pizza slices, shoplifting (but only in big super markets, please), etc.
