For crossing the borders have a look at the [[Schengen Agreement]]. With a Schengen visa you can travel within a bunch of European countries.
When hitching longer distances it's generally good to stick to gas petrol stations on the motorway. People there go long distances and it's not uncommon to find rides of 500 km and longer.
== Maps ==
It is more convenient to take a map on your trip but if you don't do so it is no big deal - some people actually prefer to get a feeling of lost nomads and to trust their own senses. For Western Europe the ''Marco Polo Euro Atlas'' is a great hitchhikers's choice: it contains a detailed information about gas petrol stations situated on motorways, and excludes less useful for hitch-hiking trips stuff like the index pages or city maps.
