"Hitchhiking": You've probably hitchhiked at least once in your life (and if not, you probably know someone who has!). But even if you have hitchhiked, perhaps you have never thought about it in analytical terms; perhaps you've never thought about it in terms of the various ELEMENTS that make hitchhiking what it is. But an understanding of these elements becomes very important when you try to hitchhike on airplanes instead of in cars, for a variety of reasons. If you feel like focussing on what those reasons, and what those elements, are, just email us or find us in our Travel Tips Chat chatroom for Instant Message chat, and let us know, and we'll be happy to go into a discussion of them with you via email or IM chat!
