She intends to visit every country in the world before she dies, and has been traveling at a more rapid pace, as of late. amylin is one of the rare breed of girls who is somewhat fearless when it comes to hitchhiking, and doesn't mind traveling long distances on her own, as long as eventually she will have a warm place to sleep. However, she has traveled extensively with Guaka, who was the first (and only) person to "teach" her how to hitchhike.

[[User:Guaka|Kasper]] and I had possibly our longest ride ever, in Europe at least: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=piacenza&daddr=cologne&sll=45.255555,9.662476&sspn=1.840641,5.141602&ie=UTF8&ll=45.009477,9.84581&spn=0.231075,0.6427&z=11&om=1 from Piacenza to Cologne], and the St. Gotthard tunnel was actually closed, so it was probably 1000 km :)
