I hitchhiked through Ireland about eleven years ago. It's not that easy to catch a lift in some parts, but I met a lot of lovely people during this little adventure.
Nice! Is there one moment of your adventure that jumps out when thinking about this time (granted, it's likely a lot of interesting stuff could have happened along the way)?
I was kind of stuck on a mountain road in the middle of nowhere and it started raining cats and dogs. The weather and the road conditions made it unsafe for me to continue on foot. I held my thumb out to catch a lift and the first car passing by picked me up. It was a lovely young family with their two children in their van. They asked me where I wanted to go and I told them 'just down the mountain back to proper roads', but they insisted to drive me to where I actually needed to go, which was a detour of at least half an hour for them. Great people. :)
