I am a hitchhiker, lazy student, social workerteacher, noisy beer drinker and sometimes annoying blabbermouth and can enoy mither you in German, English, and more or less in French and Russian.
== Hitchhiking ==
After several year of Groundhopping and train travelling, I found out at the age of 20 that hitchhiking is just the best way to get arround and gives the best balance between adventure, cheap travelling and reliability. Till today, I hitchhiked more than 80100.000 kilometers.Today I work as a teacher, and don´t have regulary time for hitchhiking anymore.... == First step == 12.05.2005, 8 o´clock in the morning, petrol station Illertal. Destination was Hamburg, where I planed to be the next evening. In the end I reached Hannover in the evening, together with two other hitchhiking-girls, which invited me to sleep at their friends flat. Nobody told me hitchhiking is that fast...
