About:
I'm thinking about my next move from my hometown, Besançon. I started hitchhiking when I wanted to go back home after school before the bus was arriving, so I was around 15-16 years old. My biggest HH trip was in Canada, when I crossed two time the country in 6 months. I also did 4 HH trip around Europe.
I'm blogging in French about my trips here : voyagezvotrevie.wordpress.com
And I post in both french/english here : https://www.facebook.com/Voyagez-votre-vie-502500889834125/

Same Driver My first driver of this trip stopped a bit after Watson Lake. She told me she could pick me up if I'm on the way on the next day. Well, after 2 minutes waiting, she passed by and stopped for me again. Two Swiss & Bears After a long time waiting in Watson Lake, I got picked up by a couple from Switzerland in their camping car. We stopped a bit after for a swim in a lake. Nice spot. Then, we drove a bit more, and saw some bears along the way. Was cool! They drop me off in a parking lot near some hot springs and I camped for the night. Writer A woman stopped and asked me some questions before picking me up. She wasn't sure she was doing to do it as it was a first time for her. Then, we talked really well, and she opened up, even shared a lunch with me. Tree Planter Got to know a little bit more about the tree planting industry. Tough job! Man Out Of Prison A young native Canadian man out of prison since a bit picked me up. He killed one guy in a fight when he was younger, by accident. He was very humble and nice. |

Smoking Weed I was in the middle of nowhere, and three people stopped for me. I was waiting for a while, and even though I smelled marijuana, I went inside to get out of this place. |

Forgot My Phone - No Worries Got picked up by a native Canadian artist. Was so great that I forgot my phone. Couple of days after, after calling myself, he could finally answer and give it back to me. |

Not His Way I was waiting for a long time, and after a local saw me two times, he decided to stop, and asking me where I wanted to go. He drove me all the way, and we went for a beer afterwards together. He even showed me some places around. |
