Changes

Nanaimo can be difficult to hitch out of. If you're heading north, consider taking the bus from Nanaimo to Parkesville and hitching from there. After that, it can be easier to hitch on the old Island Hwy (19A), which also weaves it's way up the coast and is much more scenic. The traffic goes slower and there are no "Illegal Hitchhiking Pickup" signs like on the main highway.
