Travelling sounds like a lot of fun!!! Even seeing the country you live in on a budget can be fun. Hitchhiking to do it, well. . . When I was a teen, from about 13 - 17, I hitchhiked almost everywhere. We were living in a place that really didn't have much public transportation, so it really was the only way my friends and I could get around and do the things we wanted to do. But, there were a couple of scary experiences, and I was glad when at those times that I hadn't been hitchhiking alone that day. So, personally, in this day in age, I would think twice about the hitchhiking. But, there are options to travel cheaply and have a non-tourist experience. The train has very good rates for students and specials for cross-country travel. Even the bus isn't too bad. And, you can usually find youth hostels to stay in that don't cost much money.
