Translation of hitchhiker in Spanish

I thought it was great to hear from you. I would love to help you to learn Spanish. I'll write in English and you tell me the Spanish translation. I think that you're good enough for that exercise.
I will be creating an additional study with a student (his name is Juan), which may appear in local newspapers in the future (in English). However, this may take a couple of weeks too.
I have already written some vocabulary lists on paper and typed in some of them here at Vocabulix. The automatic system here works better than flashcards on paper. Too bad there is no software.
