How to Hitchhike Across America For FREE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- My names Isaac and I hitchhiked across America for free. This is the story of how I hitchhiked across America. Overall I traveled more than 4,000 miles. I was given 30 dollars and only spent 28 of it. I Jumped 4 fences. Got a countless amount of rides and an insane amount of judgmental looks. I met some of the most generous and interesting people in my life. Slept on the side of roads in strangers' cars and couches. I didn't eat or I ate for free. I saw the good, the bad and the ugly of America. I'm happy I got to experience it in my lifetime and can't thank the people enough who were so kind to help me.
This needs so many more views
Thanks I really appreciate it!
definitely, i plan to hitchike across us first or maybe europe in 2025
Damn I thought you were a big creatir until I looked at your channel. Your channel is way too underrated!
Thanks mate 👍 I can't even explain how great this comment makes me feel. So glad you liked it!
@@averageguyisaacYes and it made me want to hitchhike across the us too! It might be a little harder since I live in Finland 🇫🇮 but maybe some day... Thanks for the inspiration!
Agree!
You just gave me so much hope dude. I’m an 18 year old from Washington who wants to hitchhike from here to cali and then across to Florida. I wasn’t sure if this would be possible in today’s day and age, but now you’ve almost got me excited to try. Cheers bro ❤
Almost???? LOL I hope you go for it one day I think you would love it. Just be safe. Thanks for the comment for real! I'm happy you watched it!
I love how you combined everything in one video. The boys of it, dos and do nots, what to pack, etc. most videos on hitchhiking only focuses on one of those topics. I've have an itch to hitchhike for years now and I'm finally getting into walking around town so it's just a matter of time til I actually do it. You're a visionary to me.
Thanks so much man! I hope you get around to doing it. It was by far one of the best times of my life totally worth it. hope the video helps you out. if you have any more questions just drop a comment and I respond! Extra tip I don't think I mentioned is to have rain coat or poncho to keep you and all your stuff dry.
I'm just a random viewer in south korea and I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your adventure. It definately deserves more views
Wow thank you so much for the kindness ❤️ it means that world 🌎. Thanks for the comment 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Sick man! I'm thinking about leaving from the east coast soon. But not sure about the weather in coming months. Great video thank ya!
I would definitely pick some warmer months... haha but have fun 👍
Starting my journey from Texas to Iowa Thursday and I can't wait
hope you had fun Iowa had some great views.
I feel that lol @papkershazuzu
I was literally planning to go on a trip soon and I even bought a tent to prepare, but my tent ended up failing so I didn't end up going, but I still very badly want to go, and to see you only bring a hammock and a few things definitely inspires me and I am considering going anyways. I think it would be a shame if I didn't due to fear.
fear and doubt is always what stops me from trying things I always wanted to do. I'm always happy when I put fear on the back burner. you probably will too. The hammock was the move though. It was easy to put up every night and to hide off the roads so no one could see. I would just tell you to bring some kind of cover if it rains. hammocks are pretty cheap anyways too and I find them super comfortable too. not a big fan of tents.... hate sleeping on the ground.
Amazing journey, I wish I had the same amount of willpower/guts that you had to accomplish this feat. I love to travel, but it's expensive and I can't get over the fact that you have to let go, and put your trust in strangers, (law enforcement also freaks me out). Then not being guaranteed with finding a place to wash up and reset. Wow! Kudos to you mate. Your experience shows that it is still possible through faith, grit, and hard work, so it does give me hope. Maybe society will change for the better allowing this sort of traveling to become more common and accepted. Thanks for sharing, from Madman to Madman, Godspeed!
Thanks for the comment first of all. I think you are giving me too much credit. I started this youtube channel not only because its fun but to opens some peoples eyes that an average person really can do whatever they want with faith, grit, hard work and a little madness hahaha.
One of the biggest take aways from the trip was that most people really are good. There is more good in this world then bad despite what you hear. The police left me alone for the most part but I was very aware not to get on there bad side lol. I was technically breaking the law in some states but they would turn the blind eye because I really wasn't hurting anyone. but thanks again I'm happy you found my video!
Amazing video man very inspiring
Thanks a lot! Comments like these make me what to keep up posting. Hopefully I will have an extreme travel again that I can share with everyone.
Hy, ISSAC, i am nasir from india also a solo traveler , just got your video on suggestions.
You motivates me. I hope we get intouch soon
Yeah brother! Keep your travels going. I wish I was traveling more... In reality you motivate me to get out there and travel more. Thanks for the comment and our out path might cross sometime in the future. looking forward to it!
This is amazing man. I'm planning right now myself.
That's awesome! Please be safe and smart about who you let pick you up but enjoy it. It fly's by but its some of the most fun I have ever had in my life.
New subscribers here. Love your videos. Keep it up! ❤
Nice video. Thanks for taking us with you on your hitchhiking trip 😃
Rhough, if I were you I'd watch out for the subtitle police. They must be searching for you for crimes committed against synchronicity 😉
haha thanks for watching and the comment!
Heading to Colorado from NC next week. Dreading Kansas 🤣😁😁
hope you made it! lol hahaha Kansas is a drag.
@@averageguyisaac I ended up driving your a savage for hitching no way I’m doing that shit unless I have to
Awesome video man
thanks!
You can but can't judge by the cover. I'm a 27 year old ex addict and I'm currently adopting a kid from a parent in a similar situation. People will surprise you. Most of my best long lasting friends are covered in tattoos and lived rugged lives. As a father of four I love kids and people with a good heart in general. Trust your instincts and travel on my people 🤟
Right on dude! Also, congratulations on being sober. To be honest people who went through struggles are always my favorite people.
@@averageguyisaac it's how you find yourself my friend, you go through the worst to realize what matters. It's different for everyone but personal truth is an interesting thing. Good luck on the journey of life man♥️
This makes me wanna hitch hike all the southern states
have at it!
You definitely need more subscribers!!!
That means a lot!! I hope one day I will get them!
Trying to explore across our country. Just waiting for the perfect time to go. My parents always say that it's "Scary" and "expensive", but I'm just trying to see the world. "Female Viewer here." but it's inspiring to see a fellow young person with a love for travel!
it doesn't have to be expensive but the less expensive the scarier it gets. hahaha I'm sure It is harder and even more dangerous as a women. I probably couldn't even imagine. I'm glade it inspired you and thanks for watching.
I'm about to hitch hike away from Chicago to to Albuquerque
that's what I like to hear! be safe!
Sick ! I don't know you didn't get more views ! I'd love to do a similar concept, but crossing the whole american continent like some sort of a U. Starting in alaska, going down the West coast all the way to chili. Then going back up by argentina brasil... Finishing my trip in Montréal, passing by NYC and everything. I'm planning it rn. Hopefully I'll do it in 2030.
I hope you do too. It would be life changing. That sounds like a great trip!
I’ve always wanted to go to Miami beach, maybe one day I’ll hitchhike over there. I live in Minnesota so it would be a lot of hitchhiking.
Its always better to do more lol you get to see and meet all kinds of people. It would be a great experience.
This was the video I was lookingnfor and more enjoyed your video
This was an awesome video for someone with 0 following. well done man
Thank you so much! Means a lot
awesome video brother
Thanks for the visit
Hey man loved the video. How long did this whole journey take you?
It took me 7 days to get to Portland from philly. Then it took me around 7 days to do the 101 highway so I like a little over 14 days I believe.
@ wow 2 weeks? That must’ve felt like a lifetime
how often did you end up having to camp?
