No more thumbs-up! just click

Hippie used to do it in the 70’s asking passages. Nowadays hitchhiking has changed name and face! its name is back-paking but the backpack is not more the symbol in which the hitch-hiker identified himself. Young people with a good English, business card in their hand, they read only alternative and sophisticated touristic guide, they want to do a new experience between fixed-term contracts: they are the new hitch-hikers. Actually women are the majority especially in north Europe. Instead of meeting on the street, hitch-hiker and motorist plan their trip in the net, booking passages in specialized web-sites like www.viavai.com/autostop. What you have to do it’s sign up and pay 13,50 euro per year for the service. There are lots of commodities of this planned hitchhiking:

. save 80% of the costs of gasoline and road tool

. guaranteed because they will give you ID of your trip mates

. skip out long trip alone

. don’t waste time on the train or bus connection

. contribute to void pollution and traffic jam.
