I have '''Myshkin''' has never hitchhiked anywhere before (any more than one mile before having the van stopped by the police on the way to Czech Tek) but I plan plans to make a hitchhiking trip in September around [[Eastern Europe ]] and the Balkans for 3 to 4 weeks. I'm He is from the [[UK ]] and have has been living in [[Prague]], [[Czech Republic ]] for the last 18 months.

This He has found this site has proven incredibly useful so far. I look , and looks forward to putting in making some of my own (hopefully) valuable input on these pages soon.

Come on!== Hitching Experience ==  None as yet. == Queries == Has anybody hitched/camped in [[Serbia]], [[Bosnia]], [[Montenegro]] or [[Croatia]] away from the cities? I've read about some areas being unsafe because of landmines still being around. Does anyone know how common/dangerous they are, considering I could be doing a lot of 'free' camping in these areas?

:: Hey, I was hitching in [[Serbia]] and [[Croatia]]. If you stay on the highways while going out of the cities, there will be absolutely no problem about land mines. There are specific areas where a lot of land-mines are located, but if you stay on the roads, absolutely no problem. Try to avoid the ''Kosovo'' area, seems to be quite bad to hitchhike there currently. In [[Serbia]] I would not recommend to hitchhike after dawn, don't know how it is in the other two countries. I would not recommend wild camping out there if you're not 110% sure that the fields are ''clean''. As I said, just stay on the roads!

I hitched from [[Maribor]] directly to [[Belgrade]] in one day, staying there at some people's home (HC) and then hitched directly towards [[Sofia]] some days later (also within one day). That's not the problem I guess. The most mines, as far as I know, you'll find in the border region around Osijek and in the south of Croatia near Dubrovnik. Just google a bit for information about it. Also, begin this week a couple from [[Maribor]] hitchhiked directly to [[Istanbul]] with a Turkish truck driver. Maybe an idea ;) ? There are many of them on the highways.

No dramas. I slept on the side of the road...2 nights in bosnia and I didn't even think of landmines, probably should have. but i'm still alive :P == Hitching Experience Couchsurfing Profile ==http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/fogroach
