I have yet to have a hitchhiking trip since I’ve found Hitchwiki, but I’m sure the tips here will be very useful the next time I thumb. So by contributing to this wiki, I’m paying in advance for its benefit – paying in hitchhiker’s way, of course, with no money involved.

A couple of years ago, when I was looking for hitchhiking spots on the internet I had to check several websites to find everything I needed to know. The people I knew where using different sites to dump their advice, adding comments or editing the sites was not always possible and you had to go through a lot of information to abstract from the different experiences. I hope that the structure of the hitchwiki is helping to collect as much useful information as possible and to keep it short and clear at the same time − that's why I contribute *here*.
 
While making my first steps in the wiki I also realised that the sharing of information not only about good spots but also about strategies, safety and the things happening around hitchhiking is also something that has not been done in an organised way yet (as far as I know). It rather happened from person to person which is also a good way but in this way your information is limited to the people you meet. So, setting up this wiki is also about giving access to valuable tips&tricks for everyone (who has a computer and can read these pages... :o).
