=== Transportation ===
Well, as this is a wiki about hitchhiking, we don't really need to elaborate on this. Also think about [[freight hopping|trainhopping]] though, both on freight trains and on passenger trains (although this is illegal and hitchwiki obviously doesn't support that ;-))
=== Food ===
There are numerous ways of feeding yourself when penniless and travelling. Next to benefiting from people's friendliness, there's dumpster diving (or skipping, in the UK), waiting opposite of outdoor pizzerias and preying on leftover pizza slices, shoplifting (but only in big super markets, please), etc.
=== [[Accommodation]] ===
As for sleeping when you're not invited back, best bring a nice thick sleeping bag and find yourself a good spot to sleep in. In cities, the best spots are industrial zones (although usually a long distance from the centre), upper class neighbourhoods, and of course train stations and airports! Train stations however will often close in the middle of the night to clear the place out of bums like you. Big stations that stay open all night such as Paris and Berlin and airports will often have security walking about to wake you up. If you're stuck in the city centre with no station or access to an industrial zone/posh neighbourhood, your best bet is to keep walking until you reach a quiet area and find a nice alleyway or empty park; but don't sleep bang on in the city centre in clear light as it increases your odds of being robbed by... a lot. You could also go to a homeless shelter, they always provide a bed and usually food. They are everywhere in London and Germany, and quite common elsewhere in the first world. Whether you're inside our outside of cities, motorway bridges provide great shelter, and so does having a tent. A tent can also be useful when you're in a city, because walking around and asking people if you can pitch your tent in their front yard is an amazing pre-stage for being invited back for dinners, showers or even beds, especially if it's rainy out.
