In this section you can find a lot of '''general information''' about hitchhiking:
 
  
===General Information===
 
Have a look at the '''[[Top Tips]]''', '''[[First time]]''' and '''[[Safety]]''' articles to get a first impression if you're new to hitchhiking or if you need random information. To get deeper into the topic, concentrate your attention on articles about '''[[Where|Where to hitchhike]]''', different '''[[Techniques]]''' and which important '''[[things to carry]]''' while hitchhiking. If you want to avoid waiting for hours, also have a look about your '''[[Looks|appearance]]''' along the road.
 
 
If you're planning to go abroad, some '''[[phrasebooks]]''' may be important for you if you want to communicate with your drivers. After hitching some hundreds of kilometers, all big hitchhikers at some point need some '''[[food]]''', or maybe some nice '''[[accommodation]]''' along the road. All this information you can find on the hitchwiki![[Image:Img l 580536.jpg|thumb|270px|left|[[User:General.manifest|General.manifest]] waiting for a ride.]]
 
 
For information about specific cities or countries, just search for them by typing in their names into the search box in the navigation bar on the left side.
 
 
For group hitchhiking, there are other hitchhikers in different '''[[clubs]]''' all around the world. Sometimes they organize '''[[hitchhiking races|contests]]'''! Many of them write articles on different '''[[multimedia|websites]]''' or '''[[Blogging_Hitchhikers|blogs]]''', they can be found in the '''[[Multimedia#News_Media|news]]''' section!
 
 
At the end, if you want to try out new vehicles, check out how to hitchhike '''[[boats]]''', '''[[trains]]''' or even '''[[planes]]''' or simply '''[[HitchBiking|with your bike]]'''!
 
 
We hope that we could help you navigating through your first steps in the world of hitchhiking!
