I do not think hitch hiking is dangerous but I'm not a woman. I wouldn't recommend hitch hiking to the ladies, dudes are just too weird these days. Plus, they're disguised now so absolutely not. Now that these masks are in play, I won't even let my wife ride with Uber.
I've met some woman hitch hikers, though, traveling across multiple countries. I think it's really cool but also really dangerous. Be careful ladies.
