Hitchhiking

Hitchwiki is a collaborative website for gathering information about hitchhiking and other ways of extremely cheap ways of transport. It is maintained by many active hitchhikersall around the world. We have information about how to hitch out of big cities, how to cover long distances,maps and many more tips.

Walking

The simple act of walking has been rendered alien and almost obsolete in the contemporary world we live in. Ordinary walking can become a rebellious and subversive act. Roads are public space and people who choose to walk and cycle are not slowing traffic or getting in the way. They are simply occupying public space in a legal way as people have done since time immemorial. Our streets and roads are meant to connect us not divide us.

Free/cheap organized rideshares

Biking

Travel by bike is also a very good option for free travels

Blackriding

Take trains or public transportation without a valid ticket is easier than what people think, especially if you are abroad from your residential country. Fine can hardly be sent outside of the country they are issued and controllers can´t really force you to pay cash if you say you have no money. A good excuse, story will make everything easier for you.
