Girls, girls, girls... today, we have a special treat on the menu.

For the aspiring adventurer in you, the one who always craves more. The one who's ready to hit the road and stick out their thumb, to go wherever the wind takes them.

Today, we're talking about hitchhiking as a woman.

Hitchhiking as a woman may sound scary, but guess what? It doesn’t have to be all that daunting.

It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but there are definitely ways to make the experience safer and smoother.

You do need to be open to it, to trust your gut, and, most importantly, to follow the advice of those who did it before you.

And that's where Audy comes in.

Audy has hitchhiked fearlessly through Mexico and Central America, and has plenty of tips and advice on how to do it safely.

In the post she wrote for The Broke Backpacker, she breaks down practicalities, shares safety tips and reveals how being a woman can sometimes work to your advantage.

She also talks about using your intuition, the beauty of connecting with strangers, and the profound lessons she's learned along the way.

If you've ever considered hitchhiking as a way to explore the world on a budget, her insights are a must-read.

On Trusting Your Gut

One of the biggest takeaways from this post is learning how to trust the power of intuition.

That feeling in your gut that can instantly tell you if something is right or wrong.

Your intuition is the ultimate tool for staying safe and making the most of your hitchhiking adventures.

The more you listen to it, the louder and clearer it becomes... and the more you can enter a state of flow 🌀

Hitchhiking can truly create some of the most unexpected and beautiful experiences on the road.

We're all up for it here at The Broke Backpacker, so I want to inspire you to at least consider giving it a try.

Travel far. Spend less. Live more.​​
