My first hitchhiking

My first trip hitchhiking took place at Woodstock but I was a little scared that we do not know who will go or what might happen. The next such trip was from Krakow to Warsaw. I was not afraid even then the drivers and the whole situation, only that no one will take me and get discouraged. As it turned out all sat in my head and fears were unjustified. Warsaw I arrived very quickly and then have to domciu. The holiday let in the old town in Krakow stayed overnight one night after which he went hitchhiking to Warsaw where he spent another night in the luxury apartment the next day I came home. A much more appreciate the many transports travel  accommodation in the apartments because I can count on the great atmosphere of the place and certainly more than in the standard location for example. vacation flats  in centre. Okay but autostopie .. Why?Why go hitchhiking? 
• It is because hitch-hiking is an adventure. It's the cheapest and easiest way to experience something different in life.
 • Certainly economy. Rideshare is usually free and you can do without a large sum of money to go anywhere. If the journey is expected to be several zł it is worth to play well with BlaBlaCar. 
• You begin to love life. You begin to appreciate the beautiful moments of happiness need little, and driving a car delight in views of the window. You get a simple human kindness and you begin to believe, however, that this world is not so bad.
 • Do you recognize the people and is very much diverse people of great character and very quickly you find out whether you prefer to talk or say nothing. Although you bringing along to The Hitchhiker rather they belong to the bad apples. :)


Offers for every budget

When you prepare well, we will be able to really cheap sleep and not necessarily in dormitories or on the outskirts. Everything depends not so much on luck as on our creativity. 
Offers for every budget 
What is really cheap accommodation? For some, sleep yet cheap means sleep for free, for example, on a sandy beach, but also using Couchsurfing'u or the hospitality of friends. For other cheap accommodation are those below 50 zł for two people. We find here a fairly wide range of many resorts, private accommodation or hostels (in many places it is connected with the need to sleep in a dormitory room with a shared bathroom). Still others believe that cheap accommodation it is less than 150 zł for two. It seems that the largest group of people, because it is the most common price offered on any type of booking accommodation websites or hrs. 
Where to find accommodation 
The most popular and best-known reservation system is booking accommodation. com. The truth is that comparing different services accommodations notice that the rates on booking.com are slightly more expensive than others. However, we can count here on a really good specials such as "secret deals" booking, for registered - where you actually get is sometimes occasions for 50 percent. the nominal price or even for the 70 percent. less. And we like it! Similarly, it was like I mentioned in an earlier entry that looked for the old town apartments, but the hotels in the old town repelled me only by the amount of people which are constantly around and shook her, but after a day attraction man wants to relax. Hence, the decision on  luxury apartment Street. Grodzka where I really total peace and quiet and the price went like in a hotel.Very sensible promotions and discount prices also appear on other sites on the HRS or Trivago.

Topography trip

And now we go smoothly in topography and geography. It is very important in our view to have a basic knowledge about the city or land where you are traveling. First !!! First, locate the airport or central train station in the city. Relatively bus, but he will be close to the station. Secondly - if the city has a subway system - find out where there are major interchange stations or ... end stations of the line.- But why? Believe me, from now on you should look for such accommodation, that were either close to the main railway stations or at the end subway station. This will greatly facilitate your sightseeing around the city will save a lot of time and money. Besides hotels and economy hotel located  from the city center, but next to the metro can be half cheaper than those in the center. And while you can from them to get to the center for minor eg. In 20 minutes. A similar situation I had was during his stay in Krakow. The last time I was there and then a train when I was a few years old and completely not remember the topography of the city. The first thing a planned apartament in the old town, but after a while I realized that the rent a room in the old town is almost suicide not only price but also in terms of congestion. That's why I decided to choose a cheap apartment near the center of where exactly know how far I have to train where I have various monuments and by the way I enjoyed the quiet. Hotel in the center is perfect for business travel where you need to be close to the venue, close to the train, etc. However, taking a trip where we focus on hiking accommodation slightly outside the Old Town is a great option.
