What does this gathering mean?
Seeing each other in a campsite (we like using a quite accessible localization), knowing each other, talking about hitchhiking, sharing memories from our trips, learning from each other, attending workshops about efficient packing and how to choose a good backpack, talking about other travelling equipment and tools necessary or useful to a hitchhiking traveller, and of course having fun – this is the most important part :D
We pay attention to the location. It should be and interesting place, we like having nice sightseeing opportunities around and we also like to do some activities like swimming or trekking. Romanian Hitchhiking Gathering was born in 2010; in 2010 we met in Ocna Sibiului. During the 2 and a half days of the first edition we swam in the salty waters of the resort („Lacul Fără Fund” of Ocna Sibiului), we walked around and had fun. Last year, the second edition of IAdR, caught us in Brașov. We rode bikes through the historical center of Brașov and visited „Canionul 7 Scări” (7 stairs/steps gorges), near Brașov.
IAdR became a yearly event and each time it will be in a different location. Beside all “tiring” activities we also talk about hitchhiking. :)
