| Jun 8, 2017 at 9:39 | comment | added | user36505 | Most of them I declined politely, but this did make me aware of how people react to seeing a lonely, smelly 16 year old kid out in the woods with just a bike and a garbage bag strapped to the back. Also, to my surprise, I was able to stay at more luxurious 'campsites' (the ones with only huge camper vans, elderly people and marble bathrooms) free of charge a few times; they often didn't have a rate for just 6 square meters, a 1 person tent, no car and no power. And they probably took pity at my appearance ;) TLDR; don't underestimate the kindness of people, especially to lost 16 year olds. | |
| Jun 8, 2017 at 9:31 | comment | added | user36505 | Just an anecdote from my personal experience [concerning many countries, including Poland and Germany, but not Scandinavia]; at age 16 I biked about 4000km right across Europe, mostly camping in the wild. I wasn't very talkative back then but I'd have a small chat with someone every other day, usually while having lunch or dinner by the roadside. A lot of people were so kind to offer to take me for a warm meal, pay for me to stay with them at their campsite (often with shower and kitchen, they emphasized), and some even invited me to stay at their home for a night or two. | |

| Jun 7, 2017 at 20:16 | comment | added | Omegacron | @Burgi - I would say hitchhiking is one of those things that sounds great when you're in your teens or twenties, but not so much once you get some life experience under your belt. But that's just my personal opinion. | |

| Jun 7, 2017 at 12:05 | comment | added | Surb | @Burgi I fully disagree with you. Hitchhiking is a great experience. However, there are definitely some basic rules to observe in order to lower the risks. These probably also depends on the time and the location. | |
| Jun 7, 2017 at 11:49 | comment | added | Burgi | I wouldn't recommend hitchhiking to anyone of any age. | |

| Jun 6, 2017 at 17:27 | comment | added | oerkelens | @problemofficer I don't know how much is checked. I do know in some places people tend to get nosy when unknown minors appear, even if it's at their neighbours place. | |
| Jun 6, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | problemofficer - n.f. Monica | @oerkelens 1. Is the age somehow checked by couchsurfing.com? 2. Do hosts really care? I would have assumed that in the relaxed atmosphere of couchsurfing, he would not have any problems. It's not like the hosts check your passport upon arrival. | |

| Jun 6, 2017 at 16:26 | comment | added | oerkelens | Using someone else's account, then showing up while you are under 18, might create problems for the people you are staying with. Especially is it turns out that the under age person in my house is not the person that booked with me. Be very careful about that! | |
