>>2416525>That third camping spot is ballsy as fuck, right next to a road. I think I wouldn't sleep the whole night from the sheer stress of it.Oh no actually that one was pretty good. There was 0 traffic on these roads, the main one is a bit further away.

I saw like 3/4 passersby when pitching the tent, that's all.
But as I said this was during autumn, it was cold out there, maybe right now in summer it's be more crowded.
Nah, the real ballsy one was the first night, right above a big hotel, a very touristy place : 47.916694, 8.074583

>somehow it's more awkward to get caught in your own countryI feel the opposite desu, I could easy talk my way out/bullshit other frogs but it's a bit more complicated with foreign people... but yeah maybe they're more understanding if you're a foreign tourist.
>Belgium is barely a country that I don't respect anywaylmao you must have some French ancestry
>Do you just get on the bike and look for places while you're there, or do you do a google maps reconnaissance mission before going out there?Both. I do some reconnaissance on Google Maps/Google Earth/ topographic maps for potential camping spots and mark them on my route. I also mark every single water source (springs, fountains, ponds, lakes or whatever. Official topographic maps from the country will show you all these). 360° google views can be useful to have an idea how the area looks like, if you check the third night gmaps link I gave someone posted a 360° view of the exact place where I slept.
Now once you're finally on the ground you want to subconsciously scan your surroundings for good camping spots while you're progressing on your route. You can even mark them, that way if the spots you thought would be good are shit you can come back to the spots you found earlier.
