Because I want to get in touch with locals when I go somewhere. True people of the land I am visiting, not hotel valet's and others trained in dealing with tourists, showing them really popular, but quite boring places.

I hitchhiked from Wales to Poland in three days, with few sandwiches and 2 litres of potable water. First night I spent on the crossing of M5 and M4 in bush hiding from the rain under big piece of plastic sheet.
