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).

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).It was my last hitchhiking in Romania, during that trip, and I couldn't imagine a more perfect "goodbye".
My previous driver dropped me at this petrol station. A nice place. Good visibility, shade and room to pull over. I walked to the road, I didn't even have time to drop my backpack coz the first car was coming. I put my thumb up and I was on my way to Sighetu Marmației.

The place is really great. We (2 girls) were picked up pretty quickly to the direction of Baia Mare. This spot is few meters away from the local HH spot, where drivers were ready to take us whenever we want for the payment. But 'nu ambani' (no money) works very well :) Also we walked for some 25 min to this spot from the UA-RO border―Jl gala

A bit outside the city center, just at the exit of a supermarket (Kaufland). Not the official local HH spot, which is at the intersection of Bogdan Voda and Unirii, but plenty of space for cars or trucks to stop. Road 18 to Baia Mure and more generally to the south―Anonymous
