'''Bosnia and Herzegovina''' is generally good for hitchhiking as the people here are very warm and friendly. If you are from a western country, chances are good that the people you meet in the street will have friends or relatives living in your country (due to refugees who left Bosnia during the [http[://wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_War :Bosnian War|war]]). This makes for an easy conversation with locals (if you can communicate with them).
== Hitchhiking ==
Try to avoid hitching within cities as you will most likely attract a taxi.
== Personal Experiences ==
''I always reference Bosnia as being one of the easiest countries I ever hitchhiked through and a small country with plenty of character. I came in from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Mostar, onward to Sarajevo and then I continued towards Belgrade, Serbia. I found Bosnians very friendly and proud to see tourists in their country. Some people speak English because of the emigration during the war but even if they have no English they understand the concept of hitchhiking as many people here have hitchhiked before. Most towns like Mostar don't require any special spots or petrol stations just walk out of the town towards your next destination and find anywhere with space for cars to stop and stick your thumb out. Old Volkswagons make up most of the traffic in the countryside and I got collected by a taxi and public bus both for free. I also shared a back seat with a goat.'' -[[User:HoboSpirit|HoboSpirit]]
