I'm not sure if it's so easy in Europe but in US and Canada I often just set up camp on the roadside, out of sight. In cities I look for secluded areas in parks and sometimes I just use the sleeping bag on a nice piece of ground. Typically though I use my hammock which is smaller than a tent, lightweight, and you can set up easily in wooded areas where with a tent you may have trouble finding a good piece of ground. Plus my hammock is comfy. Some still prefer to tent though.
If you are looking for spontaneous adventure hitching is a good way to go, you may often meet people on their way to events/parties and you can squad out with them. Two days ago I met a couple people on their way to the beach, ended up spending the day and evening fucking around with them and slept at their pad. The very next day I met a nice family and hiked around a national park with them.
So, have a very vague plan of where you are going, and be ready to change it at any point, and you will stumble into a lot of opportunities.
However: Are you planning on hitching as a group of guys? That could be difficult

I found that, especially in eastern-europe, it's much easier to get rides at petrol stations.
If you're charming enough and keep a smile on your face you can often get rides by confronting people, the latter is key as it will feel more personal tham standing along the road.

Other basic tips if you're not a woman:
>If you're aiming for a long distance ride, put some effort in the sign

>Try wearing something fancy like a blouse instead of generic shirt

>When asking around at petrol stations, always ask where they are going, chances are it's on the way to your destination

>Pretty obvious but very important, smile and be humble with people.

I've had a lot of rides by people who had never taken hitchers before by sticking to these methods
