=== You are not sure to reach your destination before the [[night]] ===
On longer hitchhiking trips, you may need to camp sleep along the way so bring . If it's not too cold outside and if you have a sleeping bag and a tarp or a tent with you. A , begin a few hours before the sunset, start looking to look out for places where you could sleep. It may be a hidden place in the nature, McDo games, an inhabited house. If you don't want to sleep outside, consider those possibilities:
* Are you ready to pay for a hostel? If yes, can you find one?
* Is there a (big) [[airport]] on your road or close to the place you are?* Do you notice McDo games, an inhabited house or a good place to lay down your sleeping bag?You may sleep there.
* Can your driver host you?
* Can you find a car/truck driving overnight and crash out on the way? In this case, is the driver really reliable?
* Are many people around you? If yes, a paper with a big "Couchsurfing?" on it may help you to find someone that would host you.
If you can't find anywhere to sleep, there are still other ways to get out of the situation. If you are lucky enough to be at a 24-hour petrol station , just keep drinking coffee and keep hitching through the [[night]], but only do so if the driver can take you to the next 24-hour station, getting stuck in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night is not good. Keep in mind that it gets really quiet between 2:00 and 5:00, even at motorway service areas.
