'''New Zealand''' is a reasonably okay country for hitchhiking. There are a lot of friendly people, and hitching is legal and comparatively safe. By hitching you'll be involved a lot in the local life. You'll have invitations to parties, homes. Cars drive on the left side, so be careful if you're not experienced with that.
At least in high and shoulder season, hitchhiking is very popular among backpackers travelling around New Zealand, especially the South island. Leave early before hostel checkout times (usually 10pm) and you have better chances to avoid competition situations among hitchhikers.
There are only motorways around the big cities, [[Auckland]], [[Christchurch]], [[Wellington]] and [[Dunedin]]
