    I hitchhiked from Michigan to California in the 80s. Truckers were a god send. Always gave me meals. I had less then $10 starting and at my California destination I had like $30. I was really fortunate to have been blessed by caring drivers!

      Did you pack your lube ? Or did they buy that too babe? Cuz when I use to hitch hike I would have to reward daddy after he bought me meals. “Tell me I’m cute” was he favorite thing to say. And scat

You are the most amazing young man we have had the pleasure to spend some time with! Wishing you all the best, looking forward to what you continue to do and hope to cross paths again soon mate!!!

I really hope to be able to come see you guys when i come back to the states and see how you're doing that would be amazing. Hope you're both doing well, stay in touch for sure, and thanks a million for the support on Facebook too, I really appreciate it

    Great, job ! I'm 74, with my manicurist telling me that my feet and legs are like a man in his 20s! My high school buddy & I hitched from Philly to Cleveland, Ohio Aug 1962, Philly RT to Key West, Florida and then Xmas vacation in snow storm 1962, we did Philly to L.A. in August 1963(3 days) I returned from Berkeley to Philly Sept '63 3 days, Marty went on to Canada & across the TransCanadian Hwy back in late Aug alone. In June '64 Philly to LA 4 days, solo, and from Venice, Ca to Philly Aug 1965 I only carried a dime(TEN CENTS) for an emergency telephone call (4 days). I did my hitchhiking as a teen, great adventure. Traveled the world as a young manufacturer, and night time musician percussionist. For me, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" was an inspiration! Now happy on a SE Asia beach in the Philippines! Life is what we make it! Keep on keeping on!

      @@MathesonBrown Thanks man! Life is what we make it! Turning what some think are lemons, into lemonade! Having confidence and self esteem instilled at as early of an age as possible is one key which can open up the world of possibilities. I've been involved in Olympic style boxing, mentoring kids of 6 and up one way or another through providing a gym rather than the "streets" as a place to develop skills with discipline, respect for others, a good springboard to lead an adventurous and positive life. Become decent members of the human race, while having fun meeting life's challenges! Looking forward to your next adventure!
      Thank you!

    "I'm 22, I'm supposed to be invincible, right?" Well I guess the answer to that is yes, since you're still alive to post this vid. Did you have an idea what walking across the midwest in the winter was going to be like? You defined it very well though...look this way, nothing. Look that way, nothing. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. And it's like that year round, just a little greener. Nice work on the vid!! Looking for part 2.

I was miserable with no goals or sense of direction with my life until I saw operation northbound now I’m doing the Full ECT from Canada to key west Florida and starting a UA-cam channel. You did that for me. Don’t give up and don’t get down about your arm. Like a New Zealander kiwi once said “ there’s so much pain you can take and still end the day off with a smile”

      Thing is you watch too many horror movies. Real life is not like the movies. The one who is in more danger is the hitch hiker. I have done it in the past and every 3rd or 4th ride there would be some pedophile in the car.
