Cool? http://www.hospitalityclub.org/ http://www.couchsurfing.com/ Totally cool. I've been hitch hiking / couch surfing for years. For me it's the perfect way to travel. You meet the most interesting people, you have instant contact to locals, it's fast, it's free, it's fun. About safety: You have to decide for yourself. What's going to happen? You can have a good look at people you go with. If you are unsure, there a dozents of safety-tipps and tricks, like unsuspicious questions you can ask to find out whether someone is genuinly offering a ride.

Watch horror movies to see why Well most people are stupid or at least not very smart and watch too many horror movies. My own statistics what kind of people will give you a ride: - bored business people - older couples who hitch hiked them selfes in the 60's - cool, young people - harmless weird people who just want to talk about their religion or something Bottom line: For pretty much any part of Europe, it's totally safe. Especially in Eastern countries where hitch hiking is still really common. Totally random people will give you ride and stop at the next restaurant and invite you to a full meal with everything. Or offer to come over to their home for dinner. In the US the biggest problem are in fact the police. Hitch hiking is legal in most states in the US, the problem is that most people including the cops don't know about it. | ||
