==Trivia==* The first ride ever was with a couple listening to Johnny Cash* My longest ride was from a gas station close to [[Tarragona]] all the way to [[Meknes]] which was about 1350km and lasted for about 24h including stopovers for coffee, sleep, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofta Kofta] and taking over by ferry and crossing borders.* My longest non-stop hitchhiked distance was 2500km (same trip from Algeciras to close to Aachen over Paris with 5 drivers in 42h)* Hitched with a cigarette trafficker from Ukraine to Poland * Once a friend and me got dropped at the brand-newly built interchange ''Kreuz Oberpfälzer Wald'' between Nürnberg and the Czech border with almost no traffic at all and not even mobile reception. Luckily a car missed the interchange exit and drove ''backwards'' on the highway enabling us communicate our situation and get out of there after half an hour and less than 10 cars* So far collected 70€ (3 drivers giving each 20€, 2 others giving 5€) while hitchhiking* the lowest temperature while on the road was about -28°C in Norway* the highest temperature was over 40°C in Spain* the longest wait was in February 2010 on a cold and windy Sunday at the service station Michendorf in the direction of Warsaw. After about 10 hours of waiting me and my female friend finally found a Lithuanian driver who picked us up. Luckily it was a direct lift to Warsaw, where we arrived the next day at 5:30am * ''hitchbiked'' with a foldable bike from Warsaw to Poznan and back. Loved it! * had my glasses and other stuff crushed by a truck driver who turned from a gaststation onto the road and didn't not see (or didn't care about it) my backpack laying next to the road :( :(* fastest ride was 260km/h with an Audi TT in Germany, whereas the fastest ride in Russia was 220km/h with an '96 Mercedes and impossible road conditions* I got totally drunk in [[Nalchik]] at 11am on the first day of hitching [[Vladikavkaz]] - [[Moscow]] and hitched the rest of the way without underwear* I was riding almost 2000km on Kamaz trucks in Russia{{IsIn|:WarsawLeipzig}}
