'''Iceland''' is a very good country for [[hitchhiking]]. It is a member state of the [[Schengen Agreement]]. People are shy but are nice. There aren't many cars though. With the astronomical bus prices, hitchhiking will be a great help to your Iceland trip budget. Most of the cities and towns in Iceland are small enough so that you can easily walk out to their edge to hitch. Beware of the Icelandic climate. While not very icy, it can be very miserable with a cold [[rain]] and strong winds, even in August. If you want to hitch through the middle of the country on roads where only SUV can drive, make sure that the lift you get can take you the whole way. You don't want to get stuck in the middle - it's like being on the moon!
