''Funnest ride:'' A Belarussian guy driving from France to Poland picked up dear Sarah in [[Melle]], [[Germany]] at 5pm. He was hoping she'd be able to share the driving on his long trip - she declined due to her Australian habit of driving on the left, highly dangerous in Europe. Another hitchiker at the station from [[Estonia]] was happy to do so though, and the driver was then happy to buy a bottle of whisky and some soda for himself and dear Sarah, and snacks for the Estonian. After hours of enthusiastic communication without the benefit of a common language, she arrived at the doorstep of her host in Berlin at 1am, slightly tipsy, and very happy.
''Most heartwarming ride:'' A Polish truck driver who pulled over on a tiny on-ramp by [[Osnabrück]], [[Germany]] and took dear Sarah to [[Padborg]], [[Denmark]]. Not a word in common, they still shared many (mimed) conversations, coffees, chocolates, and kilometers. He even cleverly called his english-speaking son on the phone to translate between them, to be able to talk. She left the ride with a wonderful warm fuzzy special feeling of love shared and inspired by the loveliness of peopleshared humanity.
