I'm currently planning on hitting up europe sometime in the fall of next year or spring 2016, but am running into obstacles with my dog. We have hitch hiked all across America together and are about to go through Canada after the winter, and simply getting rid of him to go to Europe isn't an...

Hi all, As I mentioned in another thread, I'm currently in Ukraine and will be making my way down to Istanbul shortly, then plan on hitching/camping across Turkey through most of July. From what I read on hitchwiki, it's paradise. Not planning on spanging or getting too shwilly, although yes...
