"The Hitch is an exhilarating and unforgettable experience that has left me with some excellent memories, new friends and a realisation of how kind and generous people are. More importantly, the money raised is being used to improve the education of children who really need it."
Daisy,

Hitch-hiking really is one of the most liberating and eye-opening methods of transport out there. You will arrive at your destination not only knowing that you have conquered one of the biggest challenges around, but also that you have raised valuable money that will improve the education and lives of thousands of children less fortunate than yourself.
The Morocco Hitch - 1,200 miles, average 7 days.
Hitching the entire 1,200 mile journey to the coast of Africa is a truly remarkable achievement.
The journey takes you through the heart of rural France, onto Spain and a brief pause for paella, and finally into Morocco where a truly rich and distinctive culture awaits you.

The Prague Hitch - 700 miles, average 4 days.
At 700 miles, the Prague Hitch and ideal for those with less free time at Easter.
It may be a shorter journey but the Prague Hitch is equally memorable as you pass through several modern European countries before arriving in Prague, a city famous for its breathtaking architecture, young backpacking culture and cheap beer.
