'''Sweden''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. Many say that hitching in Sweden sucks. But it works very well! Moreover almost everyone speaks english which will increase your chances of learning from the meetings along the way. As anywhere in Western [[Europe]], the motorways are the holy temples of car driving religion and someone standing on them is committing blasphemy. But you can hitch on the motorway ramps as well as on local roads. Better bring a good map, though, so that you won't end up in an unexpected place. If you travelling along the biggest highway, E4, you will not see that much of Swedens beautiful landscape, so if your biggest aim is to explore the country you should stay away from E4. But the highways are much faster of course.
