I am 20 21 years old hitchhiker from more places in [[Czech Republic]] (now homeless and traveling). Hitchhiked in around 33 37 mostly European countries. I prefer hitchhiking solo - it's much simpler, people are friendlier and more hospitable and I can have closer contact with drivers, sometimes I feel like psychologist - and with thumb rather than asking people - I like to wait for somebody who take me because he wants, it's worth it There is no season for hitchhiking, every day is good enough. I've experienced temperatures from -25 to +44 °C but comfort more depends on humidity and wind so the worst was -8 in February 2012 near Genéve and maybe +30 in July 2012 at the coast around Turkey/Georgia border. I don't use CS/BW for surfing, mostly sleep outdoor and sometimes drivers invite me home (yes it's nice to have a shower). I usually carry heavy backpack with some mountaineering equipment.
My memory is not really good so it doesn't have to be exact. I might start to do exact statistics.*'''Total distance: '''87little bit over 100.000 km from 2009 till February 14th June 2013 (±X.000 at [[Pilsen]]<->[[Prague]] route), more than half hitchhiked solo
