I hitched my first ride (not counting some small few kilometers local routes) towards the Croatian coastline when I was 17 and since then every summer I've tried to one up myself. In 2016 it was Subotica and Belgrade, in 2017 it was Prague, in 2018 it was Athens/Mykonos, in 2019 it was Lisbon doing the norhtern European coast, in 2021 it was Lagos doing the southern European coast and doing major detours in France, in 2022 it was Isfahan (and back) and in 2023 it was Algeria (sadly didn't hitchhike in it as much).
