    I hitch-hiked through Europe for 6 months last year and didn't have a single bad experience. I have often found that the people who tell you not to do it are the ones who have never tried it. The people who have will tell you that it was a great. In Leiden, NL i met a kid who had been on the road for 14 months. He hitched everywhere and estimated over 1,000 rides total in that time. He didn't a single negative thing to say.

    • The cocky/naïve ones need to be more careful though. I'm probably not up to 100 rides yet, but a couple thousand miles...ismith
    • miles... very few negative experiences, but they do exist.ismith
    • I do agree that the risk is greatly exaggerated though.ismith
