I have hitchhiked Hitchhiked in 15 around 37 mostly European countries. I prefer hitchhiking solo - it's much simpler, people are friendlier and more hospitable and I can have closer contact with drivers, sometimes I feel like psychologist - and with thumb rather than asking people - I like to wait for somebody who take me because he wants, it's worth it There is no season for hitchhiking, every day is good enough. I've been experienced temperatures from -25 to [http:+44 °C but comfort more depends on humidity and wind so the worst was -8 in February 2012 near Genéve and maybe +30 in July 2012 at the coast around Turkey//hitchgatheringGeorgia border.org I don't use CS/ European Hitchgathering in Sines 6-8-10] BW for surfing, mostly sleep outdoor and now I am going sometimes drivers invite me home (yes it's nice to try [http://hitchhikingcontesthave a shower).org/ The Hitchhiking contest Paris->Dakar 11-11-11I usually carry heavy backpack with some mountaineering equipment.]
