== Dreams ==
Yes, Quarim is a dreamer! He is dreaming about just leaving his office right now and go out hitching the famous [[silk road]]
from [[Istanbul]] to [[Beijing]], continue to [[Australia]] find a boat to cross the pacific ocean taking him to [[Chile]], then up the [[Panamericana]] to [[Alaska]] before going to the east coast of [[Canada]], find a cargo ship to [[Iceland]] and being back before his lunch break ends.
== Plans for 2011 ==
* Hike (not hitchhike) 170km through the Eifel mountains in [[Rhineland-Palatinate]] in only four days - May 2011
* Plan, organize and run the abgefahren hitchhiking race 2011 - June 2011
* Hitch a ride during my summer holidays in [[Cuba]] - planned for July 2011
* Try to beat the world record hitchhiking from [[Land's End]] to [[John o'Groats]] - planned for September 2011
