Travelling has become a popular hobby today and millions of people try to leave their homeland at least once a year or two to see and explore new places they have always dreamed of. Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, The Taj Mahal and many other famous monuments we see in magazines and books are now accessible to everyone. The only thing you need to do is to have an external passport, a visa and a pair of flight tickets. However, travelling can be different from what the majority expects it to be. It doesn’t involve only planes, trains, ships, hotels, monuments, restaurants, etc. Nowadays, travelling can be more extreme and cheap at the same time. Hitchhiking is becoming popular mainly among young people. Hitchhiking means travelling with the help of other people you have never met. You just have to stand at the edge of a road, facing traffic, with the thumb upwards. In this way, you travel meeting more and more people that help to reach your destination. However, hitchhiking is much more challenging than any other way of travelling. You should be tough and well-prepared. You should be ready to walk a lot, to use a map, to organise your trip well bringing enough food and arranging sleeping places. And finally, if you hitchhike, you must be very careful, because people who agree to pick you up are not all friendly and faithful. If you bear in mind all these things, you will definitely have an unbelievable trip.
