Hi everybody!
Would somebody so kind to do me a bit of favor? Next week I’m hitchhiking to Spain from Hungary to a summer university in Barcelona, and I’m sort of stressed about it (and somehow ashamed too) that I absolutely don’t speak French. Would you translate the following for me so that I can have a bit of conversation with those who are kind enough to pick me up? Thanks in advance!

Very good place to hitchhike.
I’m very grateful.
French/Swiss people are really kind.
Very good, I like it.
