We choose [[Utrecht]] as one of the last check-point cities since it is a very central city in the Netherlands, easy to reach and good spots to start from. From [[Utrecht]] to [[Paris]], it is just one road down! (well, almost...) Plus, there are good options to be hosted in Utrecht - there are many Utreggers eager to host you.
 
  
 
Join us on this adventure! The first European Hitchhiking Day promises to be unforgetable, and you will make that happen (together with your drivers)!
