Was waiting in the rain this time. Was picked up by some married couple. They were reading iltalehti and listening to 80's radio the whole way. The radio channel had some anti immigrant stuff being said in between the music, and I felt slightly judged for not being in a school or work currently so i was feeling a little bit tense the whole way.―Jarnohitchikes

A really nice Cameronian person picked me up, and went out of his way to bring me to my next hitchhiking spot and even invited me over to his home while he was fetching his soccer practice stuff. I didn't end up going inside, but I saw his kid playing soccer inside with the mother :D―Jarnohitchikes

Got a ride to Porvoo with ease from a nice Afganistanian person and the person who was with them. They were so nice and interesting to talk to and went out of their way to bring me where I wanted in Porvoo.―Jarnohitchikes

Spot keeps being good and reliable. I turned down a ride to Lempäälä, then turned down a ride to some other place and then I got a ride all the way to Helsinki. I would have accepted a ride to Hämeenlinna.―Jarnohitchikes

basically that’s the spot for the ferry to talinni have tried to find a boat before with asking marinas but mostly in the time that i got it was not doable, 100%better with ferry
it cost around 40 so a week of waiting will have cost me the same
plus it’s around 20h to 1 day of sailing and u need to have good skills, soooooo
you can try but ferry could be very useful if u got like 2 days in helsinki before talinn
good luck 👍🏼

I had an interesting time standing here late in the evening. Has ton of space to stop but not the best visibility because there is a hill in front so it blocks a view but if you stand at the end of bus stop there should be enough time for driver to decide.But either way i got offer to pay 100 euros for two boys to take me to helsinki even tho they are going there and grind never stops for them.
But then i laughed and declined. In 5 minutes arrived a romanian guy going back to romania from nordkapp. And he was planning to go on ferry to tallinn which i needed also in the morning so we agreed to sleep in one of parking spots and go together to the ferry. But then I eoke up and he wasnt there so I had to go by public transport because i already had a ticket :((( but it was fun journey. He was shouting more than talking re

Normally a small village, Kaustinen balloons from 4k to over 50k during the week-long folk music festival. As a result, I had no trouble in finding a ride all the way tn Helsinki in under 5 minutes.―daniellorell

We tried for an hour with a sing Jyvaskyla but noone stoped and then we tried with Lahti and we got a ride in 5 mins. Not a bad spot. But cars dont really stop. The blocking of the buses werent that bad. Also ofc you can turn on the lights by pressing crossing button but i dont think its fair for drivers.―kiausiniuvagis

Not much traffic but easy to get further north towards better highway entrances―Autostopeks

If you are lucky you may get a ride here but in my case police showed up in like 10 minutes and told me that I can't stay there (fortunately I didn't get a ticket)―Autostopeks

Not exactly on my way (Lahtis) but i was little bit desperate to get ride outside of Helsinki before night starts so I can find place for camping―Autostopeks

Two people. Traffic lights and the bus stop make it pretty reasonable for cars. Not bad, sun was shining behind the cars so they had less problems seeing us. Maybe too much traffic (drivers thinking someone else will take us) and a lot of drivers propably on their way to home from work either in Helsinki or Vantaa. So would propably find a place further up the highway maybe in Vantaa if using it again.―hiidenhuora

Not a lot of space for cars to stop, but felt like great spot nevertheless! Good amount of cars going through.―Jarnohitchikes
