I strongly believe also in 'hitchhiking inevitabilities', especially if you surrender to the road. If you hitch like this, many times you are ending up getting specifically those rides which - in one way or another - have a hitchhiker significant correlation with an active attitudeyour life, walking up experiences or mindset. You can also make rides happen but you should be wise enough to people and talking listen very carefully to them what the road is trying to ask them for a ridetell you. Whether you Things that are waiting at a service station, restarea or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stopout of the ordinary do happen.
==Non-action==I highly recommend used to believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers and talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at least speak some a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop. One of my favourite approaches is to wave and make them stop and then make the driver understand what I am actually doing: hitching. But over the last couple of years, I more and more believe in mixing it with taking it easy, lying down in the grass with a sign next to you, reading a book, writing notes, taking a nap, and just waiting for a driver to wake you up, even without putting up your thumb all the time. The "right driver" will recognize and stop for 'that relaxed person'. Try it. I got rides of 1,000 km like this with wonderful connections. Just by doing "nothing". ==Photos==I have a collection of photos of people hitchhiking sentences .
