One of the participants established the goal of visiting all the European capitals before arriving in Paris on the 8th of August. An Australian couple in their late fifties, Marie France Gardiner and her husband, heard about this idea and they decided to also take part while touring Europe.
''"I love hitchhiking! It is my favorite means of transportation because it is a great way to meet some nice people and exchange stories. It is great to see how helpful people can be. Sometimes they even bring you as far as your front door or they may invite you over for dinner"'', says Fabrice RenucciR., one of the event organizers who will be departing from Yerevan, Armenia.
The European Hitchhiking Day also is the inspiration for a documentary. Five teams made up of a hitchhiker and a cameraman will be documenting what it is like to be a hitchhiker, filming their adventures from starting point all the way to Paris. Other participants will also be contributing to this project with photos, journals, short movies, radio-recordings and other art-forms, bringing together one joint expression of their love for hitchhiking.
