Hitch-Hiking in Europe

This is the European chapter of Nomadic Gatherings.

Easing Into It:

Europe.

Two tender teenagers hitch-hike from Scandinavia to the sunny South of France.

An Introduction -- Around The World In 80 Months.

God bless all those who try to circle the globe in 80 days, because even after 80 months there is still so much to see and do. To take the chance and not expect too much, is the spirit of freedom.
To Travel is to Live.

Setting Sail -- Leaving England.

The large white vessel waited patiently, as they dipped into their money-belts to produce passports and rights of passage.

On The Boat -- Born To Be Alive.

We may be travelling on the cheap, but there are times when we need to let go and enjoy.

Arrival in Esbjerg -- Hitching Goes Slow.

Perhaps the sight of two half-naked foreigners at the roadside, begging for lifts, was considered offensive, or even repulsive, in civilized Jutland.

From Kolding -- Hitching Picks Up.

With his elbow somehow controlling the steering-wheel, the driver opened bottles of beer on the ashtray and passed them to his guests.

More to Come.

Travel Notes:
European Travel Guides.

Travel on trains and buses in Asia, then jump into cars with complete strangers in Australia and New Zealand as Michel introduces you to a collection of characters that bring Nomadic Gatherings to life.

If you can't afford to buy a copy of Nomadic Gatherings, the chapters are slowly being made available online - for free.

You may even decide that it really is worth having a hard copy in your hands; a useful read for those long bus journeys being written about, and for endless waits at ferry ports.
