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/

Smoking Weed

Forgot My Phone - No Worries

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.
