Please add whatever city you think is a good idea and explain a little bit why.
Any location within the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg Shengen space] will make it close to impossible for the non-Shengen to join. Plus the price of life will be affordable for almost everyone.
==Top suggestions==
==Suggestions==
**+: one of the 888 organizer lives there (good network)
**-: expensive place
**+: Central in the Baltics, which is an epicentre of European hitch-hiking.
**-: Do we need to promote hitchhiking where it is already on good way?
**+: We have a volunteer there / Central within Schengen
**+: Spain definitely needs some education about Hitch-hiking/easy to get free food
**+: Beaches to camp on, lots of squats.
**+: Not very touristic but very well known, we might get an official autorisation (it's also possible to get one for all the town...)
**+: Italy definitely needs some education about Hitch-hiking.
**-: very difficult place for hitch-hiking
**+: Central within Schengen
**+: Was voted the most depresive place in Europe. Let's make it the most cheerful place.
**-: It is not very touristy
**+: friendly, active, cultural city - great potential/not much expensive
**-: Not very well known
**+: free internet access in city/not touristic capital/ + [http://www.metelkova.org/ metelkova mesto]
**+: Hey, why not?
**-: Hard to reach by hitchhiking
**+: The challenge: It is "the end of the road" in Europe. The westernmost point. / Nice beaches.
*I would suggest any easy and nice to camp at beach location or similar nice nature places - no cities !! Nat-Cho (CS)
The two main concerns raised at the 888-last-day-meeting were:
*Female HH safety in the country of arrival and in the "impossible to go around" countries.
*The necessity of having a local coordinator/ support.
* This time we We really need have to get a Forum to help people organize their rides. We can't rely on CS groups, they suck.
