==My experience with hitchhiking==<!--<kaltura-widget size='L' align='R' kwid='Mm4xdXVsamRsZ3w2ODF8NjgxMDB8Um9iaW5vIEhpdGNoaGlraW5nfHgwNmVsbm5hZGN8MzMzODBjY2ViOQ==' />-->[[Image:Robino_hitching.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]Robino has hitchhiking experience in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Ireland]], [[Wales]], [[England]], [[Belgium]], [[Netherlands]], [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]], [[Slovenia]], [[Italy]], [[Croatia]], [[Serbia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Spain]], [[Romania]], [[Poland]], [[Ukraina]] and [[Turkey]]. The first time hitching was in '98 with a girl from [[Nijmegen]] to [[Amsterdam]]. After four rides they got stuck somewhere in [[Utrecht]]. A year later he hitched around the UK twice and - apart from that day he took a wrong car out of [[London]] - he happily never got stuck again. __NOTOC__
Since February [[Image:Robino_hitching.jpg|200px|thumb|right|To a [[Germany|German]] rainbow gathering in 2009, Robino also started to hitchhike ]][[Image:Granada.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Me hitching from his home [[Valencia]] to his office, once or twice a week, and writes about that [[Granada]] in Dutch at 2006]] [http[Image://liftenwerktRobino_Sitarane.nl Liften werktjpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Robino]] & [[Sitarane]] with their drivers while hitching from [[Amsterdam]].

==My philosophy on hitchhikingExperience==Hitchhiking for me is above everything Robino has hitchhiking experience in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Ireland]], [[Wales]], [[England]], [[Belgium]], [[Netherlands]], [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]], [[Slovenia]], [[Italy]], [[Croatia]], [[Serbia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Spain]], [[Romania]], [[Poland]], [[Ukraine]], [[Turkey]] and [[Portugal]]. The first time hitching was in '98 with a sport (as girl from [[Nijmegen]] to [[Amsterdam]]. After four rides they got stuck somewhere in mental exercise)[[Utrecht]] and he took a train. It is not about cheap traveling but about sharing A year later he hitched around the UK twice and meeting random people - apart from that day he took a wrong car out of whom some [[London]] - he happily never turn out to be so random at allgave up again.
I believe Since February 2009, Robino also started to hitchhike from his home to his office, once or twice a week, and writes about that in 'hitchhiking karma'Dutch at [http://liftenwerkt. Most of the time you end up getting those rides which - nl Liften werkt]. Due to his unfitness to work in one way or another - was meant for you at that time, for your driver, or for both of youan commercial office he had to quit this job just 6 weeks later. In additionBut ironically, you can make rides happen but you also should be able to listen very carefully on his final hitch to what the road is trying to tell youoffice, he was offered another job by his driver.
I strongly believe ==Philosophy==Hitchhiking for me is above everything a sport (as in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers mental exercise and talk to them to ask them for a rideendurance). Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop. One of my favourite approaches It is to wave and make them stop and then make the driver understand what I am actually doing: hitching. But I also believe in lying down in the grassnot about cheap travel but about persistence, reading a bookcreativity, writing notessharing, taking a napstrategy, interpersonal skills and just waiting for a driver meeting random people - of whom some never turn out to wake you up, even without putting up your thumb all the time. The right driver be so 'random'will'' recognize and stop for youat all.
I highly recommend believe also in 'hitchhiking inevitabilities', especially if you surrender to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences the road. If you hitch like this, many times you are ending up getting specifically those rides which - in one way or another - have a significant correlation with your life, experiences or mindset. You can also make rides happen but you should be wise enough to listen very carefully to what the language road is trying to tell you. Things that are out of the country where travelingordinary do happen.
==PersonalNon-action==Currently I live used to believe in Amsterdama 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. One of my favourite approaches is to wave and make them stop and then make the driver understand what I also lived am actually doing: hitching.  But over the last couple of years, I more and more believe in mixing it with taking it easy, lying down in [[Barcelona]]the grass with a sign next to you, reading a book, writing notes, [[Istanbul]]taking a nap, [[Het_Gooi|Huizen]] and [[Newcastle]].
