Overview
Hitchhiking within the hitchhiking community refers more generally to a lifestyle or philosophy where one is essentially free from permanent residence and ongoing responsibilities. The ideal of the hitchhiker is to live by their wits and experience rather than by being committed to a particular place, set of relationships or occupation. Hitchhiking is not notoriously a stable lifestyle and is difficult to sustain for long periods of time. For many hitchhiking is a lifestyle that is adopted for brief periods of time, but is consistently longed for.
