Trevor Daneliuk waits on the side of a highway for stranger to offer him a ride.
Trevor Daneliuk first started hitchhiking about four years ago, when he was still a college student studying accounting. Today, the 24-year-old Canadian has hitchhiked in 25 countries, and says he's been picked up by generous drivers close to a thousand times.
His current trip will take him across all 50 United States - he's been to 48 at the time of publishing - and is being funded with the money he makes through Twitch, the Amazon-owned video livestreaming service, which he uses to broadcast nearly all of his waking hours on the trek.
On day 118 of his journey, Daneliuk took a short break from "twitchhiking" (his term for hitchhiking on Twitch) in Salt Lake City, Utah on his way to Las Vegas, Nevada, to talk with Business Insider about his adventures, his online following, and how he got started hitchhiking.
