Changes

Male hitchhiker, active since my mid-20s, now in my early 30s. From the US, of European descent, with short-ish to medium-length dark hair and sometimes a beard. Usually dressed "neatly" on the road, ranging from clean well-fit T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops to button-up shirt, khakis, and shoes. Usually traveling with a medium-sized backpack. Body type has ranged from skinny to moderately fit. I occasionally use signs, but usually just stick out my thumb. I find this to work well enough most of the time when the location is carefully chosen. Often hitchhike solo, but have also done it a lot with my wife, and occasionally with other friends. Not the most outgoing person, but usually comfortable enough with managing social situations once I'm already in them.
