Hitchhiking has always proved to be extremely powerful in that it feels like its me and the world communicating with each other.  Sure, times can be hard, and places can consume me for a day whilst I trying to get out, but there's always also so many fantastic times, and usually when I've been stuck in a place for a long time I get the most awesome of rides.

I've managed to find the 'travel' in 'travelling' through hitchhiking.  Before discovering, I'd get a train to my destination, or go on holidays with parents either by car or by plane, and would never really meet local people.  Now, I actually feel I discover lands because I am told all about them, I meet the life inside them, and I actually move through them.  It is so much greater the weather gradually getter hotter as going further south than walking off a plane to a huge gush of hot air.

Searching for a way through the field in France

I have hitchhiked since missing my school bus one day in September of '07. Since, though not having crossed so many countries (I've only hitched in England, Wales, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Andorra) I feel like I've committed big parts of my life to hitchhiking and the transformative energy that it carries with it.

I specialise in hitchhiking on the M4 in England, hitchhiking in Norfolk/Suffolk/fenland, and hitchhiking on the Isle of Wight. In early 2017 I started a blog called "myhitchhome.wordpress.com" about my daily hitch from work in Ryde, Isle of Wight, back home in Brading, which was about a 5 minute journey but always best shared with a kindly driver.

I took a few years out from hitchhiking, mainly because I thought that I needed to in order to grow in a different direction as a person (for a while I felt the need to have more space), but I feel very happy now to be back by the side of the road.
