==Where==
150 people showed up from all around Europe and stayed for the 3 days week-end. It was a very intense time of exchange, smiles, and french wine.

It was so good that we decided to do it again. The community had grown and more people wanted to join. This time though we wanted to meet up somewhere more east, where we could also meet up with hitchhikers from Russia (less visa-issues for everyone). The place became Odesa on the Black Sea in the Ukraine.
The challenge was much harder this time. Paris was an easy go for most of us but the Ukraine was a lot further. Many people embarked on a multiple day hitchhiking trip, travelled non-stop or met up at the pre-meetings that were organized along the way.
