Waited right before the gas station so that cars could pull over easily. Had a sign reading “Elbasan/North Macedonia”. Took me a while (an hour and a half) to find a driver to Elbasan. I also tried the second roundabout right before the highway but turned back because the cars were driving too fast. Also, easily accessible from the airport so it’s possible to rest and use the restrooms.

Ideally placed to get out of Podgorica, towards Albania. I stood right after the roundabout, there was room for the cars to pull over and even some shade from the road sign. I had a sign reading “Albania”. Had to wait quite a bit but going to Tirane that was worth the wait.

All London spots are a bit naff, this one got me out to reading somewhat quickly

Heading to Europe, had a sign saying London. Good spot opposite the gas station, lots of traffic, very visible, space to stop. Got a lift in 15 minutes with a car heading into London. Got off in Slough - bad decision! Should have got off at Reading services.

Heading to Europe, got a lift in 30 minutes with a sign saying London. Car was leaving the M4 before Reading services so I got off at Membury. Good spot, extra lane for cars to pull over safely.

BOAT HITCHHIKING: Followed guidance from hitchwiki to find a boat to pursue my trip. Marina is definitely the place to be and regularity at the morning coffee time is the key! I was too late on the season for my original plan (heading East towards mainland), but after a rebranding of my ad on the bulletin board, I found a captain doing the Bash towards California. I spent with Lucian 10 days sailing, great captain patient with the rookie I am, learning me about reading the wind and the sea.

Gas station and medium to low traffic. Staff helped me to build and write a small sign. Lovely people and then the showed me pictures of prior hh that stopped there. Funny shit! I only use the sign to show that I want to go somewhere. Ususally it's not thaaat helpful as many drivers have trouble reading it or just don't care. I ended up speaking to a few people and they agreed to take me. Horrible ride as one of them smelled like a homeless person (nothing against the poor) and the driver was watching TikToks (chinese version) on full blast. They refused to drop me at the city entrence and took me too far.

The bride is easy to access by foot if you stopped for the night in Golden. (there's a cheap hostel there) Got my ride from Monique as I just got on the bridge. Spotting the avalanche risks for the railway, she was able to tell me a lot about the mountains that surrounded us along the way. She taught me a little about reading the snow on mountains and we did a few pictures as well.

It’s not great, but it’s Italy. And with it being Italy, it’s actually pretty good! I got there in the afternoon in late January, with a sign reading “Verona”. I barely got any looks from passing cars, in all the time I was then I think it was two waves at most. But after 45 minutes, Michaela and her young son offered me a ride to Desenzano. As we were driving, her son who spoke English would translate between us, to save me the horror of my broken Italian. She decided that she absolutely refused to drop me at a service station to continue hitching, not because it was dangerous in her eyes, but because she thought it would take too long! In her eyes, she wanted to take me all the way to Verona, so the best she could do was invite me to her home for lunch, and buy me a train ticked to Verona! After countless refusals on my behalf, I finally gave in to the hospitality, and had the loveliest afternoon. “I’ve never had anything like this happen when hitching before!” “You’re in Italy now.”

reading the previous comments you can understand that it is very difficult to find transportation here. I was lucky and after an hour a kind gentleman from Turkey picked me up directly to Sofia. If it wasn't him I would probably have been standing in this place for hours.

Dropped here by previous lift. Solo woman with sign reading ‘North’. not a super busy road and not many cars signalling/interacting. After 25 mins got a lift with a man just down the road to a better spot in Rovereto.

Looks great, and had a sign reading Oradea, but a lot of local traffic and no one waswilling to stop for me. I resorted to taking bus M51 (that doesn't show on Google Maps) to Gilau and try there.

2 people. We had been waiting there for 3-4 hours. Lot of trucks stands there for a night. It should be easy to catch them, but for 2 people its hard. Many morrocan drivers. We had a cardboard saying „hacia francia” and one employee told us that we are loco xD. Then we changed it to „hącia Granada” and some crazy guys stopped on the highway without reading our paper. When you are solo - easy, comparing to other spanish stations. Shop in the gas stations is quite expensive (like 2,5e for a 1,5l bottle of water) and tap water is not drinkable. Better to make supplies before. We heard also about free showers for drivers, maybe its possible to manage it for poor hitchhiker!

Not that good indeed to go to Nantes. Seemed nice but cars just won't stop. I had a sign reading Nantes. Waited for 2h. Good luck

Its my 2nd time within 2 weeks, but now I'm heading south, bc Indiana its big pain in the ass to hitchhike there. So now its even easier bc so many people go to Columbus. I was just sitting outside and reading with my sign (KY) and a random guy picked me up

Not much space for cars to stop. Got picked up after 5 mins with a sign reading south.

Reading the negative comments my heart sank when I was dropped here. It's true that there isn't any place to stop, but as the slip road has two lanes people where happy to stop in the road. 6 mins and somebody stopped, only going 20k or so, rejected and 15 mins later another person stopped, even in this crap spot. Seriously, quit the negativity, smile and stop dressing like a drug trafficker, and you will get through :) (solo male)

Held a sign reading "CZ" and got a ride from a man who lived in Amberg. August 2023

Really nice spot. I had a sign reading 'Serbia' and got a ride to Szeghed in 10 minutes.

Holding a sign reading Oslo, steadt trafic, I said yes to a ride to sandvika which was a mistake, sandvika is impossible.
