Wasn't even asking around, older man just stopped as he noticed my flag and hitchhiked before. I kept my options – Umeå, Västerås and Uppsala – open, but couldn't reject this offer with my nearly dead battery and a place to stay in Uppsala too. Man used to be a hitchhiker, so he knew what it meant.

Spent quite some time on the busstops before that, wasn't very actively asking around this rather quite gas station. Decent option from Uppsala to Västerås, with some truck drivers. Most traffik seemed to go north or towards Uppsala though. Guy who took me visited a friend and went back home with a small break here – legend for taking me ❤️

Insanely lucky, asked around at the gas station for a ride to Avesta, tested my luck at a busstop. First truck driver pulled over, drove me to the highway intersection with lots of traffik towards Västerås and Avesta. Although this (bus)stop isn't great for Avesta, I think it's quite promising with traffik going from Uppsala to other destinations.
