'''Estonia''' is a nice hitchhiking small country that belongs to [[European Union]] and is a [[Schengen Agreement]] country.
__NOTOC__
ItEstonia is relatively a good country for hitch-hiking. The cars stop easily next to highways and small roads. Cars of the drivers that pick you up are various - trucks, old soviet cars, nice new cars and even tractors. Officially there is no difference if a truck driver or a car driver offers you a ride - everyone (except tractors) is allowed to go 90km/h. Except - in the summer on some roads it is allowed to go up to 110km/h. But unofficially - even truck drivers like speeding.hitch-hiking during night is quite impossible because there aren's extremely easy t many roads for traveling through country nor people there who have enough long ways they have to hitchhike drive during night ==Weather==Weather is a lot worse problem than small roads or lack of cars. Winters are cold, snow in midland (harder to walk to good spot), early darkening most time of year, rainy weather sometimes for long periods."Thanks to" climate warming it is a lot easier to hitch-hike in winter nowadays. But i wouldn'''Estonia'''t advise trying it on smaller roads. ==Food==Many people from rural places goes to work in bigger towns. Usually if there's loads That means you can get stuck easily because of traffic night on the highway next to turnaway from main road you're hitchhiking. And no gas station near. It is smart to keep some bread, then it water and chocolate n your bag. Water is almost everywhere drinkable from tap and wells. Even from lakes. The color of lake water might be just a 5 minute stop between the brown but that is pure turf water. ==People==In Estonia share their ridesyounger and older, Estonian and Russian origin people, men and women. People are friendly towards hitchhikersEven taxi drivers on their way home (for free). Besides You can expect driver to start conversation in Estonian, or Russian.

And Estonian drivers understand Russian same way.Estonians love foreign visitors and are very helpful showing the languages right direction and giving instructions. ==Public transport==Not much money can be saved trying to hitch-hike instead of using public transport.
