"Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get." said Forrest Gump's mum. Well, for a hitchhiker life on the road is like a full-blown chocolate factory. You never know if Charlie is going to pick you up and what kind of Oompa Loompas you make friends with.

Last year some 80-90 unique individuals from all over the world were having fun, connecting with each other and sharing more than mere travel stories in Sines, Portugal. That was the third European Hitchgathering.

Now the fourth Hitchgathering, 5-8-11, is being organized by the hitchhikers for the hitchhikers. As the name states, the event starts on 5 August 2011 and takes place somewhere in Europe. Where? That's for us to decide! Go on, vote for your favorite location right now!

You don't have to be bold and beautiful or have thousands of kilometers of thumbing experience to attend. 5-8-11 calls for all wacky road junkies, former couch potatoes and other amazing creeps who won't shy away from a little bit of adventure. Come and join us 1 April in the pre-meeting in Magdeburg, Germany, or at least sign up for more info at hitchgathering.org!
