'''Hitchhiking as a solo woman''' At least in Northern Poland there are often prostitutes who are standing by the road in the summer. And if on duty, they mark their regular spots with a piece of clothing and come back again after. This might lead into confusion when you're hitchhiking alone as a woman. It's not really dangerous but hitchhiker friendly people might mistake you for a prostitute when they pass you and not stop. So as a solo woman would be good not to wear clothes that are too revealing, put your backpack in front and not stand very close to the prostitute spots.
'''Free showers''' On truck rest stops called MOP (most times petrol station + parking + restaurant) there will most likely be free showers and restrooms. They're in a separate building that's fairly easy to find. The showers are pretty clean and have warm water. As long as you wait for your turn in the queue, no one will have a problem with you using them.
