'''Croatia''' is can be great for hitchhiking. It is quite easy to hitch along the coast, and waiting time rarely exceeds 20 minutes. Some routes, however, might appear to be more difficult to hitch but with some portion of patience one can get a ride almost anywhere in this Balkan country. Almost everyone, except for the older generation, speaks Englishat least on a basic level. Croatians are also extremely open, friendly, and hospitable, although there are known accidents of nationalistic hatred being directed onto foreign travelers. Definitely It is nonetheless definitely a must-see countrywith beautiful landscape, islands, and warm sea.

There are some landmines left in Croatia. [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] and Kelsey found out the hard way, stumbling stumbled across signs in the middle of the night, in central croatiaCroatia. Ask locals about this if you're sleeping out. Better still, It is advised to ask to stay in people's gardens, restaurant grass, or in the truck beds. The coastline is completely clear, howeverthough. Please take care.be aware of this and be careful!

Now that Slovenia had joined the [[Schengen]] agreement, and thereby becoming the external border of the E.U, less drivers are willing to drive strangers into Slovenia. I encounterd that when nobody offered me It can be difficult to get a ride for 2 hours out of [[from Zagreb]]to Slovenia. The solution is easy and cheap - go to Zagreb train station, and check the timetable (it is registered as internal traffic) for trains going to the village of '''Sutla'''. There are 7 trains like this a daygoing there. Buy a ticket till Sutla (1.5 Euro), and stay on board onboard after the train passes Sutla, to the slovene village of Dobova (it takes 5 minutes, no conductors). From there it's easy to continue your way to [[Maribor]] and [[Ljubljana]].
