Top suggestions

Where are those fucking hicthhikers!?! (Ukranian Soldiers in Odessa beach)

Ukraine

Ukraine is getting a lot of attention right now because it seems it is the only country in Europe where any other European can go without much visa-issue. Check out the discussion

Kamenica, Kosovo

What is the visa situation for Serbia and Kosovo? In any case, I suppose that Russians wouldn't come because of the countries they'd need to cross - Sitarane 00:55, 17 September 2008 (CEST)

  • +: We have a great contact there that can find us a space and get us the media.
  • +: Would be a really cool challenge.
  • +: Hitchhiking for peace! up up
  • +: We can create a humanity mission, like everybody come with one toy for childrens
  • +: The big Hammam (Hamami i Mahd), built in 1470, 15 domes, but no mix male female
  • -: The border crossing is a bit difficult / event may become slightly political
  • -: Hitchhiking in Montenegro... forget it (unless you give money) [is it? Jason and his friend managed it easily and extremely fast in May, 2008]. Also Serbia is quite hard [since when? The only problem seems to be wild camping because of the goddamn mines!].
Please, mines were cleared years ago. People are camping all over Serbia now. For HH around Serbia, please check out this detailed HH guide to Serbia.--217.65.194.4 11:57, 16 September 2008 (CEST)
It depends where you go, there are still mines around. I have been there last year and deep in the mountains (at strategic places) are still mines around... --Alex 15:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah if fabrice and Pascale didn't get a ride there, this isn't the reason, In 2007, it was good to hitchhike alone in Serbia to go to Bulgaria, very good people there. We just have to find them and have good spots to don't stay 20 hours... MiSha 10:53, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
  • -: 11 205 hab in Kamenica, why not Pristina, for much attention ? MiSha 10:53, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
because we do not a have a great local correspondant there. The local correspondant in Kamonica knows all the networks so no need to go to Pristina.
If he knows all the network, why he still in Kamenica ?! It's just 25km away from Pristina, a city more attractive for promote hitchhiking MiSha 10:54, 28 August 2008 (CEST)

Krakow (Cracow), Pologne

  • +: In the centre of EU -good access from every Euro country
  • +: Big grassy open space next to the Old Town to make a meeting
  • +: Places to get a full dinner for 2-4 euro
  • -: Shengen space. Tough visa for Russians, Bellarussians, Turkish, Yougoslavians
  • -: It's strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in public spaces!
  • -: polish police is usually unkind, so better to have everything legal, in Krakow - touristic capital of Poland - they might not be interested in having banch of dirty hhikers...
