== About Me ==
I'm 2932, originally from the South [[Wales]] Valleys, but nowadays I live in the [[Netherlands]] in between backpacking around Europe, usually heading south in late autumn to escape the winter and not returning until spring.
I studied Music at ICMP in [[London]].
I'm fluent in English and Dutch, and proficient in French and Spanish.
== Countries Hitched ==
[[England]], [[Wales]], [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], [[Luxembourg]], [[France]], [[Spain]], [[Germany]], [[Poland]], [[Italy]].
=== Easy Hitching ===
I have found France, Belgium and the Netherlands to be the easiest hitch hiking experiences so far. The French seem to be particularly enthusiastic and curious about travellers. One of the things I like most about the French road system is that if hitch hiking fails on the highway, there is often a Route Départementale running parallel which will get you where you're going, just slower.
=== Nightmare Hitching ===
This lifestyle of hitching and recycling and squatting also means I minimise the amount of money I spend into large corporations, as I get food and transport and shelter either for free, or where I do pay, it's going to local people and businesses.
One other thing: I refuse to take the "Hike" out of the "Hitch"... so that means lots of walking!
'''I am always open to traveling with new people, whether for a day, or for longer. If we happen to be in the same place at the same time, maybe we can walk awhile together...'''
