cheapest >tickets? hitchhiking is always an adventure, that can be fun, and fast too, but you need to stay on the highway, always ask for stop in a gas Station and rest area on the highway, if you want to catch another car to go longer, never go out of the highway and stop inside a city where you don't want to go (just because the funny guy who drive you, go into this city, and he think that's better for you ... never listen to them, they never practice hichhiking ...), don't take the small way if you are hurry, there is nobody and they drive slow ... if you think that showing your beautiful thumb is the good way, you'll wait and wait ... if you ask to the people when they stop for any reason, and if you don't forget to smile to them (don't forget social enginering ! :) ), then you'll be fast like speedy gonzales !!! don't forget to look at the people if you can trust them, yes there is risk everywhere ... you can get cheap fly or train by the web, this site is in several language for the french train and fly : http://www.voyages-sncf.com but the good opportunities are writed in french ... for the cheap sleep, hostels are expensive, the mini is 20 euro a night for three persons, "formule 1" hotel , always at the limit of the city, in may june you can go in a "camping", that's less expensive, it depend where you are, in the summer a lot of people sleep illegally in the parcs in the city, just be discret, go in when the night come, and go back when the sun wake up, if somebody say you something, just say you are very sorry, you just arrived in the middle of the night, everything was closed , and you didn't knew where to go ;-), I did that many times, and never gone in prison ... my way is not the most comfortable , sure, but that's the cheaper, and you can go all around the europe like that, without any money, if you have any instrumment, and are able to play in public, you'll eat for free too ;-) good luck and enjoy ! ___________________________________________________________________________ Faites de Yahoo! votre page d'accueil sur le web pour retrouver directement vos services préférés : vérifiez vos nouveaux mails, lancez vos recherches et suivez l'actualité en temps réel.
