Brilio.net - There are various methods used by people to go home. However, the goal remains the same, namely to arrive home safely without missing anything. Some people choose to use public transportation such as trains, buses, ships, and even airplanes. While the rest decided to use private vehicles.
But it's different with this man. Instead, he chose to go home without using public transportation. The story was uploaded via a TikTok video posted by the account @alwijo.bless.
Currently the man is living in Jakarta. He intended to return to his parents' house in Temanggung Regency, Central Java. Instead of using the train, throughout the journey it turned out that he chose to just ride in another vehicle that was in line.

The man named Alwi said that the distance he traveled home this time was 470 kilometers. In order to get a lift, he stood on the side of the road while waiting for passing vehicles. His hand will wave at a vehicle with the intention of stopping the vehicle. He first asked permission to hitch a ride with someone else who was driving a vehicle.
If allowed, then he will go up. When traveling, finding a ride in the same direction is very difficult. Therefore, when the vehicle he was in was no longer in line, he would get off and look for another vehicle. And so on until you get home.

There were many vehicles he rode in during the trip. Alwi noted that he changed vehicles around 23 times. 11 times hitchhiking on a motorbike without a pillion. He also used a pick-up car 7 times to transport various types of goods. Some were carrying cows with their grass, there were also pick-up trucks with no load.
Apart from that, Alwi hitched a ride on a truck 5 times. He certainly felt lucky if the seat next to the driver was empty. So Alwi could sit in that place. If not, Alwi will ride in the back of the truck. So, Alwi changed vehicles in total from Jakarta to Temanggung 23 times.

It looks like he doesn't carry a lot of things, so moving around in this vehicle isn't difficult for him. Alwi only carried one backpack which he kept slung over his shoulder.
For two days and one night Alwi spent the homecoming journey. He finally arrived home even though he was sweating all over his body. Alwi admitted that even though he was boarding and moving around, he still arrived home healthy and still alive.
Alwi also did not explain the real reason he was determined to board someone else's vehicle in order to go home to Temanggung.
"Until the house is still alive," he wrote in the caption
The journey that Alwi shared finally went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Many people are curious about how to talk so that passing vehicles can give us a lift. Apart from that, many were surprised by the method of homecoming chosen by this man.
