About me
I'm a 30-something Dutch hitchhiker. I live in Doetinchem, Netherlands. I mainly hitchhike for vacations, but have been getting into the habit of hitching for daytrips and errands as well. Also I spent way to much time logging all my rides in a excel-file that is getting rather slow.
Modus operandi: I'm a gas station exit dweller, as I believe that people that want to help will stop anyways. I prefer hitching without signs, but always carry a home made whiteboard.
In 2024 I participated in Tramprennen on the road from Schonungen to Estonia.
Feel free to write something on my talk page, or find me on Insta. Chris_reist_rond. (On my story it's mainly pics of my backpack against guardrails).
Also I sometimes post travel story's in Dutch on my facebook page "Chris reist rond". (Chris travels around).
