You can hitchhike on planes?!?! That’s the typical reaction whenever someone hears of “Jethiker” Amber Nolan’s quest to visit all 50 U.S. states by hitching rides on airplanes.
This is one of the most mind-blowing, radical things I have heard about in a long time. If I hadn’t just learned of the existence of Cronuts, I could safely have proclaimed that hitchhiking on airplanes is the most revolutionary idea I’ve encountered in a long time.
Back to Amber. She started her jethiking mission in July 2012 and has visited 31 states already, without paying for a single airline ticket. She’s on track to reach her goal in just a few more months, which is pretty damn incredible.
