Suite101[edit]
Suite 101 is a sort of on-line magazine which ran a monthly hitchhiking column from October 1996 to February 2003. The columnist, Bernd Wechner, ceased writing for Suite 101 in 2003 and the archive at Suite 101 itself has fallen into an embarrasing state of disrepair since. All the same it is available at:
Bernd Wechner has however archived all the articles written for that column on his own site and Morgan Salman Strub has archived them on digihitch along with a wealth of other material from many contributors.

Finnish[edit]
Liftari.org is a community webpage for Finnish hitchhikers. It's a community blog started in early 2004, containing tips and stories about hitchhiking.
After the first year there were more than 200 members signed on the website, about 100 articles about hitchhiking posted to the site and a working bulletin board for discussions. The community organizes gettogether meetings, though irregularly, and there has been interest to the community by the local media.
The site is mostly in Finnish, but foreigners coming to hitchhike in Finland can post questions on the forum.
