Hitchhiking in Andalucia, Spain, December 2012.

French guy, hitchhiking full-time since 2011.

Hitchhiked almost all corners of Europe, from northern Sweden to south of Spain, as far as Georgia and Armenia. Some experience also in Tunisia, a few Asian countries, and Australia. A little of boat hitchhiking also. I'm a big fan of winter and extreme hitchhiking, rather going out in the wild than hanging around cities.
