[[File:SDC12163-hitchhiking-out-of-Ankara.jpg|right|thumb|300px|hitching out of [[Ankara]] in August 2009]]
I am a hitchhiker, teacher, 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 100.000 kilometers. Today I work as a teacher, and don´t have regulary time for hitchhiking anymore....
== Countries ==
Caucasus in summer
Hitching throug the whole American continent one day.......don´t know if that will come true......
