This was fantastic! I feel much more comfortable with the idea of hitchhiking alone as a solo female traveler ! I never really thought this would be possible, but now, I’ve already downloaded the apps talked about in this course. I hope to try it without the apps after some more experience. Thanks for the course!

Hitchhiking is certainly a fun way of traveling on budget, still I don't know if this is something to start with as a newbie in solo traveling, but I will definitely give it a go and rewatch this series of videos once I have tested the waters and gained more experience!
