I'm a hitchhiker from Phoenix, Arizona; Valley of the Sun!
== Tips for hitchhiking ==
Well, firstly, you must be sure that you are not afraid to hitchhike. If you are, you will either look very dark and quite and the driver will think you are a road thug, or you will rapidly start laughing weirdly which would make you look like a dumb. Don't be shy, but not too confident either, that would annoy drivers. Find a good place to hitchhike, could be a gas station (my favorite, at least) or or near a large sign. If it is hot, always stay in the cool-shaded places. Make sure you are not in the middle of the road, or it may risk your life. Wear bright clothes, so drivers can see you from a distance. Having a cardboard is also a good idea, and humorous ones work really well, as it catches eye. The rest is just about giving a thumb sign, and wait for a nice [ or lonely :) ] driver to pick you up. After he/she approaches, ask where he/she is going, be polite, and enjoy the ride (not too much, or you'll annoy the driver). And whatever you do, don't panic.
