Hitchhiking
by marrit
If you're a low budget traveller, but especially if you want to see and experience something else than the tourist scene you're normally absorbed in when you're travelling, go hitchhiking in Europe! The best country to get easily, very long and fast rides in, is Germany. But in general almost everywhere its quite safe and easy to hitchhike (only Spain is a bit harder, and in Italy its almost impossible). If you're planning to go hitchhiking, and want some more tips, just send me a message, i'd be glad to help.. (I've been hitchhiking in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Kroatia). If you want some more certainty than just standing near the road with your tumb up, you can also try this really good site: www.hitchhikers.org, where you can arrange rides in advance. Some of these rides are for free, but mostly you pay something for the petrol.
