I know the B77 lot has to have a number of tips for me!
Please?
I haven't made any concrete plans yet but I'm wanting to go for about a month. Preferably to the UK, get up to Scotland then make my way down to southen Spain and Gibraltar. Heard there's a last homely house bordering Spain there... Then probably make my way back up to Paris or wherever I can get a decently priced flight back to Canada for.
I'm thinking of leaving in May probably, or latest June. I mainly want to hitchhike around. Don't have any particularly specific destinations in mind other than I'd like to Visit Edinburgh and Newcastle (not really much problem for those), Paris and Gibraltar. Where I end up between and how I get there will hopefully be an adventure of sorts.
I am planning on traveling alone and was thinking of buying a GPS so that I'm never completely lost while I'm there.
In my research I've heard a lot about getting rides in advance. From sites like this: http://www.hitchhikers.org/" target="_blank Looks pretty nifty to me...
So any tips? Cautions? Advice? Offers for a vacant couch and perhaps a meal? I'm serious. If I make it near where anyone lives I'd love to meet up, and if anyone offers me a bed, couch, floor panel for my sleeping bag I'd appreciate the generosity so much! I am trying to do this trip very very thrifty and just get around and see stuff.
Waitin' for your comments!
