If you never picked up hitchhiker and hesitating to do that, this guide will help you to decide

It is so good, even with missing people, to be moving again! The ideas move together with the body and the energy and the landscapes, and we enter in this state of playfulness, where every risk is only part of the game where the worst that can happen is me dying, and that means nothing. I feel breathing orange again! So I went out home, took the metro to deliver the key of the house, then metro again until south, then a bus going to Vidnoe (a municipality south of Moscow), then a moderate walk in the -10 snowy margin of the road, crossing Moscow's Ring Road, then calling for a car with my paper saying " Воронеж // Ростов-на-дону". After one or two minutes, stopped the ride [37], a guy who works with cinema in Moscow, lived in Los Angeles for 5 months (which guaranteed the enough amount of English to mediate our semi-Russian conversation) and was driving to Tule for some filming.  He left me in the road bifurcation, 250 km ahead. Then it was me, the emptiness of steppes and one food trailer. Waiting for 10 minutes, with my fingers very unhappy about the temperature. Then stopped the driver [38], who goes three-times-a-week transporting food products from Moscow to Voronezh. I arrived in Voronezh when it was already dark, so no chances of hitchhiking directly to Rostov tonight.  Then I walked until the long-distances bus station (автовокзал) to see if it compensates to take an overnight bus or train (nope, too expensive), while charging my died cellphone for using the 3g. Then checked on Hitchwiki the spots in the city for getting rides (yes, no chance at night), made check-in in on Facebook, sent many last-time solicitation on CouchSurfing for Voronezh, went to walk to eat, decided it was too cold, went to a shopping center for wifi and bathroom, checked Blablacar to see if an overnight paid ride would compensate (nope, also too expensive) received some negative answers in CS, found a hostel nearby, checkedin, received two positive answers in CS after it [¬¬], received some advices from a girl from Kazakhstan, talked for one hour to an uzbek guy inspiring him to travel around the world with almost no money. The orange is draining through the sides of my mouth.

Hard core adventurous budget travellers swear by this site (this and Couch Surfing of course). Hitchhiking can be dangerous so be careful. If you have to do it, take some of the pain out of the process by using Hitchwiki to find out about the best spots for the route you're doing.
