RE: Steemfest hitchhiking recap!
I love taking hitch-hikers, I've met some really interesting people and made some great friends that way!

I can imagine so! There is something about that connection between driver and hitchhiker! I've noticed it often and I love it!
I think a large part of it as well is that hitch-hikers tend to be people who are bravely putting themselves out in the world and aren't living in fear, which is my kinda people! I recently came back from two years in Brazil and when I was there it was often foreigners who were hitch-hikers... it seemed most Brazilians were convinced that it was too dangerous. But the hitch-hikers I took were only full of good storied from their adventures. I noticed that Brazilians would hitch-hike locally but they wouldn't put their thumbs out! They would just hope that a passing friend would notice and offer them a lift. By the way I was in quite a rural town, it wasn't in any of the big megalopolises!
Likewise, the people who pick up hitchhikers I'd say!
I've done a bunch of hitchhiking in Costa Rica, and haven't had one bad experience there! But locals would definitely advise against it most of the time, haha!
I can't wait to cross the Atlantic once more and explore some more over there!
Ha ha - maybe so! So must be back in Europe now then?
Yeah, I live in cold rainy Belgium unfortunately! Well, at least the beer is good, right, haha?
I hear there's nice chocolate too!
