Cyber surf

So you’ve been inspired and thinking about hitching yourself?

Take a look at Hitchwiki which is a good place to start.

If you’re looking to hitch across waters, try 7 Knots, Latitude 38Find a Crew and Cruiser.

You’d rather hop a train? Then this might be useful.

Fellow road junkies: Hitchhiking Stories, Hitch The World, VelabasThe Dromomaniac, eTramping.

And now you’re looking to hang (and stay) with locals?

If you wanna meet people and get a real taste of how locals eat, play, live - try CouchSurfing, Be Welcome, Hospitality Club, Global Freeloaders, Warm Showers, or Freagle.

Ah, you wanna help out (and get a place to stay and some grub in return)?

If you want to feel useful and rather ‘work’ for a place to stay (and if you’re lucky you get fed as well), then try Volunteer South America, Free WWOOF, Help Exchange, Work Away, or The 7 Interchange.*

Not satisfied yet and still hungry?

Go dumpsterdiving! Check out Trash Wiki if you want to learn more.
