Make plans to attend the 2014 North American Hitchgathering!
I hitchhike mostly for free transportation which lends itself to a lifestyle of adventure and exploration. My goal is to develop a working mental map of North American geography through direct exploration of trails, navigable waterways, and roadside landscapes. I accomplish this on foot, by kayak, and especially by hitchhiking.
