Hitch-Hiking From Tasmania to London - Jamie Maslin

Hitchhiking is an art that once flourished in the United States and many other places around the world, but because of perceived dangers, it has become discouraged. But Jamie Maslin doesn't see it that way. He hitched over 800 rides in cars and yachts to travel from Tasmania to London, and he said that generally speaking, people are trustworthy. "You really get to see a country thtrough the eyes of a local," Maslin explains. But he does have a trick: "I ask where they're going first," so you have the opportunity to turn down a sketchy ride offer. Maslin's new book The Long Hitch Home is out now.
