Corrod3

Corrod3 is a hitch-hiker from Germany, who started hitch-hiking in 2009, when he was 18, and since then became obsessed by it. He has lived in Germany, USA, Mongolia and Russia and has hitch-hiked in various places. From the beginning hitchwiki.org except for some friends was his most valuable source of information to catch a ride. Hitch-hiking is for him more a hobby or sport and not done out of pure necessity.
