About me

I'm a 30-something Dutch hitchhiker. I live in Doetinchem, Netherlands. I mainly hitchhike for vacations, but have been getting into the habit of hitching for daytrips and errands as well. Also I spent way to much time logging all my rides in a excel-file that is getting rather slow.

Feel free to write something on my talk page, or find me on Insta. Chris_reist_rond. (On my story it's mainly pics of my backpack against guardrails).

Also I sometimes post travel story's in Dutch on my facebook page "Chris reist rond". (Chris travels around).

Some stats:

• Total hitchhiked: 25.578 km
• Longest journey: 8018 km. From the Netherland to Nordkapp, Finland, the Baltics, Germany and Poland. 31 days, 23 days of hitchhiking.
• Furthest ride: 1006 km, from Piątnica, Poland to Raststätte Auetal, Germany.
