Hitchiking history: 2015-2019
[[File:kundrt-11-11-03.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Hitching to [[Pilsen]] from [[Prague]], 11-11-03]]
== About ==
I am 19 22 years old hitchiker hitchhiker from more places in [[Czech Republic]] (last known . Hitchhiked in around 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 [[Pilsen]])good enough. I have hitchhiked 've experienced temperatures from -25 to +44 °C but comfort more depends on humidity and wind so the worst was -8 in 16 European February 2012 near Genéve and 3maybe +30 in July 2012 at the coast around Turkey/4 African countriesGeorgia 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: '''min. 55~136.000 km from 2009 till February 2012 September 2014 (probably 1±X.000 at [[Pilsen]]<-5 thousands more>[[Prague]] route), 67.000 of that hitchhiked solo
*'''Longest rides:'''
**~1335 km - [[Montpellier]] -> [[Málaga]]
**~1300 km - [[Calais]] --> somewhere far in [[England]] --> [[Belgium]] (crazy story)
**~1100 km - [[Granada]] --> [[Bordeaux]]
**Going out of [[Málaga]] (Stuck there more than one day twice!)
**Going out of [[Lisbon]] (south)
**Crossing [[Ukraine]] from [[Russia]] to [[Moldova]], 700 km took 6 days (with one lucky day - 400 km)
*'''Unusual rides:'''
**Horses with cart twice - in Mali for 20-25 km and in Montenegro for ~1 km
**Snowplow in Norway
**Quite overloaded old Mercedes truck with 4 drivers (everybody could repair something) in Mali, + with my friend, 2 backpacks and wheel of the truck in the cabin I was quite destroyed after 200 km (10 hours)
