On FB European Hitch-hikers meetup in Lithuania 4/8/2012 - so with a basic plan to hitch from Amsterdam to do a tour of Baltic states festivals - this event could be a good start

the main webpage European Hitchgathering | All roads lead to Lithuania hitchwiki.org

- Hitchgathering "Since 2008 hitchhikers of Europe, have been meeting once a year in different spots around Europe.

- Great event here..great people ..all the hardworking organizers, and the hosts Andreas and his family ..the nearest I have ever come to finding people like me
-people like Prenom hitching for 30 years .. or Marteus living on $0.50/day

I'm not sure about that hitch-hiking gathering ..it's complicated I guess.. but I think the irritating things overpowered the good bits.

Sun - best day
Wed - rain herding cows - midnight meal workshops until 2am
complaining : I hate pissing around wasting time waiting for things ..people don't pull their weight
Thu - We breakfasted at 11 others at 1pm so Andreas comes asking for volunteer workets for mulching & insulation.. but I can't volunteer cos I have to clean up after this lot .. raining aswell so in afternoon we play cards

I waited for the food then I stored it for breakfast.

So I got up reasonable time ate chatted & set up the washing up station ..me and French Matthew washed up... but people kept drifting in cooking more porridge .. making more washing up ... I had to wash my clothes.

- (They all expressed surprise that I was staying to clean up ..why did they assume instead of asking me ?)
