<div>A person from Pennsylvania, USA. Lover of memories and stories, experiences, openminded people, reading, journaling, slow travel, happy accidents, ambient music, and jazz; disliker of money and exuberance. <br />
<br />
First got into couchsurfing and then hitchhiking due to failed workaway experience in Haute-Garonne region of France in spring 2023. First major solo trip from Amsterdam to Hamburg to Copenagen to Berlin to Heidelberg to Zurich to work on a farm in Italy. Then back north through Switzerland (Luzern and Lugano), east through Austria (via Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna), to Budapest, and finally through Slovenia to Ljubljana - all by thumb. <br />
<br />
Hoping to hitchhike and bum around more of the world soon. Hitchwiki helped a lot and wanted to share updates to pages I frequently used and my own stories for other travelers.</div>Tobiashttps://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User_talk:Vinteuil&diff=105445User talk:Vinteuil2024-03-20T13:44:47Z<p>Tobias: Welcome!</p>

<div>''Hitchgathering'' is the name of a series of international hitchhiking gatherings held in Europe and Northern America [[Hitchgathering#Past_events|since 2008]].<br />
<br />
For the 2024 editions, see [[Hitchgathering/2024]].<br />
<br />
== Organizing the event ==<br />
<br />
===Communication===<br />
<br />
* Main organisation platform is the [[Hitchgathering/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|Hitchgathering {{CURRENTYEAR}} wiki page]]. Here you can collect/present proposals, [[Talk:Hitchgathering/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|discuss]] them and vote. <br />
* Other communication channels are the [https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/hitch mailing list], [https://signal.group/#CjQKIGgw5-FMZ1Sq67CL50LKCkZg-6i0KCDuS24S4uBDyb5IEhAmnOqOcim9eSMm-TJFozyg Signal-group] and the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/hitchgathering/ Facebook group]. Please transfer all relevant info to the wiki page.<br />
<br />
===Checklist===<br />
* Is there space for 100-200 persons?<br />
* Can we acquire drinking water somewhere nearby?<br />
* Are there possibilities to dumpster dive or is food cheap?<br />
* How easy/difficult is it to reach the place?<br />
* How secluded is the place?<br />
* Can we just stay at the place or does it belong to somebody, do we need a permission?<br />
* Can we dig shit pits there?<br />
* Can YOU be there to help organizing in the beginning?<br />
* What else is important?<br />
<br />
== Time ==<br />
Early August, typically at first weekend. People will arrive some days earlier and many stay for like 1-2 weeks. New people keep coming and going during these two weeks. Festival sort of fades in and fades out, most busiest days having over 100 people at once.<br />
<br />
Each year somebody suggests if the main event could be moved to June/July. Each time we come again to same conclusion: early August is the most optimal for all the students/working people to have a hitching trip. There will be smaller pre- and post-gatherings happening all the summer.<br />

Early August, typically at first weekend. People will arrive some days earlier and many stay for like 1-2 weeks. New people keep coming and going during these two weeks. Festival sort of fades in and fades out, most busiest days having over 100 people at once.<br />
<br />
Each year somebody suggests if the main event could be moved to June/July. Each time we come again to same conclusion: early August is the most optimal for all the students/working people to have a hitching trip. There will be smaller pre- and post-gatherings happening all the summer.<br />

'''Fribourg''' is a town in [[Switzerland]]. It's also called '''Freiburg im Üchtland''' in [[Germany|German]].<br />
<br />
The town is not that big, so you can easily walk around. Yet the walking distance between the two on-ramps is about 5km.<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
=== South towards the mountains ===<br />
Take the ''Blvd des Perolles'' and walk to the very end, where the two streets come together. After the roundabout is a good spot. <br />
=== North, South towards [[Lausanne]], [[Bern]] ===<br />
==== on-ramp Fribourg-Nord ====<br />
About 3km north of the center. Place for cars to stop in both directions.<br />
==== on-ramp Fribourg-Sud ====<br />
About 2km west of the center. More traffic than the other spot but no place to stop for cars (without blocking traffic). Small petrol station nearby, mostly local cars.<br />
<br />
[[User:Tobias|Tobias]] ([[User talk:Tobias|talk]]) (1/2024)ended up here after the '23 NYE gathering. We tried the southern on-ramp but there is no place for cars to stop so we gave up after less than 1h. At the northern on-ramp there was way less traffic towards Bern but there is some small space for cars to stop and we got a ride after about 20min.<br />

'''Venlo''' is a small city in the [[Netherlands]], at the border to [[Germany]]. It is situated in the province of [[Limburg]].<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
=== West towards [[Eindhoven]], [[Antwerpen]] ===<br />
From the station, take bus #6 to ''Sint Urbanusweg''. Walk into ''Sint Urbanusweg'' until you reach a bridge. Turn left behind the bridge, there is a petrol station on the motorway. The bus ticket is EUR 1,20. Walking the whole way is about 3km.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Mönchengladbach]], [[Cologne]] ===<br />
The [[A61 (Germany)|German A61]] starts right at the border at a big roundabout. There is a petrol station and a toll boot, so it's probably the best place to get a ride here. Diesel is much cheaper in the [[Netherlands]] than in [[Germany]], so you will find a lot of Germans at petrol stations close to the border.<br />

== Songs mentioning hitchhiking ==<br />
* Heart - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBfP63T0a60 All I wanna do is make love to you] - Heart unintentionally generated some controversy with the hit "All I Want to Do (Is Make Love to You)," a tale of an intimate encounter with a hitchhiker.

== Music While Hitchhiking ==<br />
Some people think that it goes almost without saying that you shouldn't have earphones in while standing next to the road, that it is inconvenient and dangerous as you hear less than normal and also very rude when drivers who take the time and effort to stop for you get the feeling your music is more important to you than they are. Other people think that it's a valuable way of raising your mood and passing quality time waiting, benefiting drivers as well as your mood rises. Just take them out when somebody stops.<br />

<br />
Tonight 22/11/2023 many people talked on the hitchwiki matrix group chat and we came to a decision to do this new year's gathering in a nice '''cabin''' in '''Switzerland''' were already few winter gatherings happened in the last years.<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''Date''' ==<br />
<br />
Probably between the 26th december and early january, it more depends on if people wanna come around the 23th december or more around the 28th december for example, and if people feel like staying few days after the 31th december or feel like stay a week or two more, can't say.<br />
<br />
Probably people will give updates here and on the mailing list and on the matrix/signal group.<br />
<br />
== '''Location''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Hotel d'Italie Cabin, Switzerland (Jura)''' ===<br />
<br />
https://www.refuges.info/point/1291/cabane-non-gardee/Hotel-d-Italie/<br />
<br />
There are tons of cabins in this area, it's rather unique and very nice to walk around. They are maintained by the local commune so the they are stay in a good state. Locals sometimes go there to eat fondue or party, but rarely stay more than a night even on NYE where it might be packed. There is always at least some wood storage and it's very easy to pick up and dry some if not enough.<br />
<br />
* no toilets<br />
* water probably from a cistern, might need to be boiled; next tap water about 3-4km<br />
* no electricity, next place to charge 3-4km<br />
* other people might show up (especcially during NYE)<br />
* quite big sleeping place, rather small communial room with oven<br />
<br />
=== '''How to get there''' ===<br />
<br />
The closest main roads are Route de France (Swiss side) with about 5km walking and Route de Jura (French side) with 4km.<br />
<br />
location : https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=46.5728&mlon=6.1269#map=12/46.5728/6.1269<br />
<br />
nearby towns: <br />
<br />
Chapelle-des-Bois (4km), France, small shop<br />
<br />
Bois-d'Amont, France (5,5km), France, medium supermarket<br />
<br />
Les Rousses, France (20km), France, big supermarket, dumpster diving<br />
<br />
== '''What to bring''' ==<br />
<br />
The Cabin is more or less 1400m high, I checked the weather and it should be around -3/3°C by day and -10/0°C by night. We'll be in a nice Cabin with a stove so it should be pretty warm inside, but the first floor who is the sleeping area is colder than the ground floor.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Food : Food is expensive in Switzerland. There is a small shop in the next french Village (expensive, but cheaper that Switzerland). To the next cheaper supermarket it's about 20km + long walk to the road. So best is to bring as much as you can.<br />
<br />
'''Personal stuff''' : your personal medication if needed<br />
Sleeping : mat, a good sleeping bag<br />
Cooking : knife, bowl/plate, fork, spoon<br />
Hygiene : you can figure it out, just there is no sink so no way to get rid of our grey water except by dumping it around<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Collective stuff''' :<br />
Cooking : big pots, chopping board, bucket or a small basin to dishwash, spices, oils, nuts, dry food, fruits/veggies, etc...<br />
to cut wood : saw? machette? axe? billhook?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Random''':<br />
Candles, power bank, booze, water filter, games, instruments,<br />
<br />
== ''' Sticker ''' ==<br />
<br />
If you want to pick up some Hitchwiki/Hitchgathering/Trustroots stickers check [[Stickers]]<br />
<br />
== '''What to do''' ==<br />
<br />
* playing games<br />
* organising hitchhiking matters (2024)<br />
* workshops<br />
* hiking (there are great hiking trails in that area)<br />
<br />
== '''When are you coming?''' ==<br />
<br />
Just a proposition so people may have a better idea who is gonna be there or how many people are gonna be there, can be anonymous too<br />
<br />
flavorpeach : i should arrive the 27th or 28th december and staying as long as I feel like it ( I'll bring a big pot for cooking )<br />
<br />
anonymous: i might also arrive around the 27th, maybe earlier, and stay as long as i want<br />
<br />
[[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]]: If I'm coming, it will be on the 30th or even later.<br />
<br />
tuls3235 : I could arrive in the beginning of January, if people choose to move the beginning here. <br />
<br />
Yogisatori : I could also arrive in the beginning of January, maybe even something like 1st or 2nd January - would be good to know if some of you may still be there for some days beginning of January<br />
<br />
Eugene: Maybe comming the 26/27/28th, depending how lucky my hitchhiking is. I hitchhike from Aalborg, DK, so I will probably need a sleeppover on the way in Germany. <br />

* no electricity, next place to charge 3-4km<br />
* other people might show up (especcially during NYE)<br />
* quite big sleeping place, rather small communial room with oven<br />
<br />
=== '''How to get there''' ===<br />
<br />
The closest main roads are Route de France (Swiss side) with about 5km walking and Route de Jura (French side) with 4km.<br />
<br />
location : https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=46.5728&mlon=6.1269#map=12/46.5728/6.1269<br />
<br />
nearby towns: <br />
<br />
Chapelle-des-Bois (4km), France, small shop<br />
<br />
Bois-d'Amont, France (5,5km), France, medium supermarket<br />
<br />
Les Rousses, France (20km), France, big supermarket, dumpster diving<br />
<br />
== '''What to bring''' ==<br />
<br />
The Cabin is more or less 1400m high, I checked the weather and it should be around -3/3°C by day and -10/0°C by night. We'll be in a nice Cabin with a stove so it should be pretty warm inside, but the first floor who is the sleeping area is colder than the ground floor.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Food : Food is expensive in Switzerland. There is a small shop in the next french Village (expensive, but cheaper that Switzerland). To the next cheaper supermarket it's about 20km + long walk to the road. So best is to bring as much as you can.<br />
<br />
'''Personal stuff''' : your personal medication if needed<br />
Sleeping : mat, a good sleeping bag<br />
Cooking : knife, bowl/plate, fork, spoon<br />
Hygiene : you can figure it out, just there is no sink so no way to get rid of our grey water except by dumping it around<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Collective stuff''' :<br />
Cooking : big pots, chopping board, bucket or a small basin to dishwash, spices, oils, nuts, dry food, fruits/veggies, etc...<br />
to cut wood : saw? machette? axe? billhook?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Random''':<br />
Candles, power bank, booze, water filter, games, instruments,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''When are you coming?''' ==<br />
<br />
Just a proposition so people may have a better idea who is gonna be there or how many people are gonna be there, can be anonymous too<br />
<br />
flavorpeach : i should arrive the 27th or 28th december and staying as long as I feel like it ( I'll bring a big pot for cooking )<br />
<br />
anonymous: i might also arrive around the 27th, maybe earlier, and stay as long as i want<br />
<br />
[[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]]: If I'm coming, it will be on the 30th or even later.<br />
<br />
tuls3235 : I could arrive in the beginning of January, if people choose to move the beginning here. <br />
<br />
Yogisatori : I could also arrive in the beginning of January, maybe even something like 1st or 2nd January - would be good to know if some of you may still be there for some days beginning of January<br />
<br />
Eugene: Maybe comming the 26/27/28th, depending how lucky my hitchhiking is. I hitchhike from Aalborg, DK, so I will probably need a sleeppover on the way in Germany. <br />

Probably between the 26th december and early january, it more depends on if people wanna come around the 23th december or more around the 28th december for example, and if people feel like staying few days after the 31th december or feel like stay a week or two more, can't say.<br />

=== ''Hotel d'Italie'' Cabin, Switzerland (Jura) ===<br />
<br />
https://www.refuges.info/point/1291/cabane-non-gardee/Hotel-d-Italie/<br />
<br />
There are tons of cabins in this area, it's rather unique and very nice to walk around. They are maintained by the local commune so the they are stay in a good state. Locals sometimes go there to eat fondue or party, but rarely stay more than a night even on NYE where it might be packed. There is always at least some wood storage and it's very easy to pick up and dry some if not enough.<br />

'''Food : Food is expensive in Switzerland. There is a small shop in the next french Village (expensive, but cheaper that Switzerland). To the next cheaper supermarket it's about 20km + long walk to the road. So best is to bring as much as you can.<br />
<br />
'''Personal stuff''' : your personal medication if needed<br />
Sleeping : mat, a good sleeping bag<br />
Cooking : knife, bowl/plate, fork, spoon<br />
Hygiene : you can figure it out, just there is no sink so no way to get rid of our grey water except by dumping it around<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Collective stuff''' :<br />
Cooking : big pots, chopping board, bucket or a small basin to dishwash, spices, oils, nuts, dry food, fruits/veggies, etc...<br />
to cut wood : saw? machette? axe? billhook?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Random''':<br />
Candles, power bank, booze, water filter, games, instruments,<br />
<br />
=== '''How to get there''' ===<br />
<br />
The closest main roads are Route de France (Swiss side) with about 5km walking and Route de Jura (French side) with 4km.<br />
