Revision as of 02:48, 5 February 2007

Early November Robino finally registered for this wiki. As a start he made some new entries for cities such as Valencia, Barcelona and Granada.

My experience with hitchhiking

I have hitchhiking experience in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Spain. I am planning to do a hitchhiking trip from Amsterdam to Istanbul, starting february 2007.

My longest waiting time never really exceeded over an hour (two knocks down the wooden table).

My philosophy on hitchhiking

Hitchhiking is above everything a sport. For me it is not about cheap traveling but about sharing - and meeting random people of whom some never turn out to be so random at all.

Me hitching from Valencia to Granada

I believe also in ´hitchhiking karma´. Most of the time you end up getting those rides which are meant for you.

I strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers and talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop.

I highly recommend to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences in the language of the country where traveling.


Personal

Currently I have no fixed address. The last place I lived was for three years in Spain, Barcelona.

I have a CouchSurfing profile. There is also `my website.
