Andrea McGuire, a folklore graduate student at Memorial University of Newfoundland, is currently seeking interviews with past and present hitchhikers in Cape Breton. She is collecting stories from people who used to hitchhike, people who hitchhike in rural communities, people who hitchhike nationally/internationally, and drivers who pick up hitchhikers. Each interview will take approximately one hour, and will be drawn on for Andrea’s master’s thesis. Do you have a hitchhiking story to share? Please get in touch with Andrea by phone at 709-771-2216, or via email at [email protected]. She would love to hear from you!
