About Me

I have been hitchhiking Canada since 1997. In those years I have hitched some 100,000km in all 10 provinces. This country is so vast and beautiful. It is a divers and an amazing place to explore. One could spend their life seeing it, and it would not be a waste. Currently I am attending post secondary. My goal is to study hitchhiking (sub)culture as deeply and fully as I can. I will post my different ideas, finding, research, and papers here for your reading. And not only your reading, but for your consideration and feed back. I hope we are able to come up with some good stuff. Take care, love Kipper
