One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).Finally! I got a long ride. And it was straight to my destination. After 5 short rides that day in Ukraine, I got a decent one.
I got dropped just around the corner by the previous driver and I decided to keep walking. I walked less than 10 minutes, hitchhiking along the way, when a woman stopped (btw. many women pickedme that day) here and she took me to Ivano-Frankivsk. Actually she was bypassing it, so she dropped me in the outskirts of the city and I walked the remaining a few kilometres.

One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).Well, another short ride. The 5th that day.
I was dropped in the centre of the town. I walked out of it and I started hitchhiking while still walking. After 7 minutes and less than a kilometer walk I got another short lift from a woman (many women picking me that day). 2 kilometres. Yes, two.
It shows that people are very helpful here but they don't travel far.

One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).The continuation of short rides series. I was dropped in the previous village and I started hitchhiking whilewalking up north. The traffic wasn't busy. After half an hour (2,5 kms walk), when I was passing through this village a driver stopped and gave me 15 kms ride. The 4th short ride in Ukraine that day.

One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).After two short rides in Ukraine that day, the 3rd one came. I was dropped by the previous driver 700 m west of this spot. I started walking and hitchhiking and here another driver stopped and gave me 14 kilometres ride.

One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).I got dropped in the village centre, after a short ride. Straight away I got checked by a police patrol. I started walking. I walk 2,5 kms. During that walk I was checked again by a military patrol (it sucks to be a man in Ukraine now). The last less than 10 minutes I hitchhiked while walking. At this spot a woman stopped and offered me a ride. She said she wasn't going far. But I was surprised when after less than one kilometer (yes, one) she said "That's it". So, I got off and carried on walking waiting for another short ride.

One male 40+, one big backpack, no sign, a sunny day. On my way from Baia Mare in Romania to Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, about 250 kms (successful).After crossing the border I walked up to here. A really good spot. A wide exit from the petrol station gives plenty of room to pull over. Good visibility. There is shade. Not very busy traffic.
After 20 minutes a guy stopped and offered his "taxi service". I passed.
Then I got blocked by a herd of cows, which surrounded me for almost 10 minutes.
After 40 minutes one guy stopped, but he was going only to the next village. I passed.
I should have taken that ride, coz 30 minutes later a woman stopped and offered me the same ride. This time I took it and I started a village to a village jumping (a series of short rides).
