Slovenia is a country in Central Europe. Hitchiking used to be more common here in the past, but today people seem to be more afraid of hitchikers. But still, it is quite popular. From the capital, Ljubljana, it is possible to easily hitchike to the north (Maribor, Austria), to the east (Croatia, Zagreb) and to the South (Postojna, Italy). It is the best to use highways entrances, and to hold a sign marking your destination. Hitchiking in the rural areas is even easier, and a ride can be found even in the smallest roads.

Border Crossings
Sometimes drivers are not that friendly and they don't wish to take you abroad, sometimes they even leave you just before the border crossing. But don't worry! If you are going to italy (Trst, Venice), your best option is to hitchike till the border city (Sezana) and from there take a bus (€1.90) or a train (Don't buy a ticket, just hop in, it's 10 min.) till the Italian village of Villa Opicina. From there you can take plenty of buses to Trst (Trieste) and continue to Venice.
If you are going to Zagreb, and you were not lucky enough to get a direct ride, try to get to a city called Novo mesto. From there take either a bus or a local train to the border village called Dobova, from which there is every 2 hours a cheap local train to Zagreb (€1.50).
