Great story. I think a lot of his recommendations would still valid even though he last hitched in the 90's. I'm curious to know how what it's like to hitch these days. I was visiting Ireland in 1994 and picked up a lot of hitchers back then. Seemed the average way for kids to get from town to town.Do you find many people hitching in the other countries you have visited? or is it mostly pay as you go bus travel?

Classic Andy. Excellent interview and fun to watch.

Not only did he mention the kindness of strangers, he kept bringing up the missions and the Salvation Army. I'm not sure I'd want to be around that, but if I had to, so be it.

I like learning how you use Walmart to spend the night, and McD's to get on the internet. I've often thought if there was a website for retirees to share their house with other retirees, it'd be a huge hit. Imaging going across country, sleeping in someone's home, and not having to pay any money, plus getting a chance to meet people.

I have tried couchsurfing, and POF to try to meet people, nothing so far, bad luck, and too much work. I will keep trying to learn how to connect with people as I move around the country. Andy
