Hitch-hiking is one of my favourite way ways of travelling, which I practice when I have time: during weekends and in holidays. It is a very an interesting way to be in touch with people and also a more an environmentally aware and economic way of travelling fast than going in your own vehicle or by public transport. Anyway as As far as travelling is concerned I also enjoy to move myself on foot, on bike, on ice-skate, and by public transport and (all too often) in my Citroen C2.

== Interview Media ==On * 2007 (19 november 2007 I spoke live for Dutch /11), radio interview, Radio 1 program `(The Netherlands), [http://www.franknature.nl/hitchhike/radio1bnn.mp3 "Weg met BNN´ about hitch-hikingBNN"] (Dutch). To hear the * 2018 (07/07), newspaper interview - in Dutch - , Dagblad De Limburger (The Netherlands), [http://www.franknature.nl/hitchhike/radio1bnnlimburger070718.mp3 click herepdf "Mensch, durf te liften"](Dutch). 

In the meantime, I've started to link associate some pieces of popular music to with this way of travel. I feel that these songs breath in their way spirit of hitch-hiking. If you like, take a look at this listing, and feel happy to hear and see those pieces by You tube-technology. Links checked May 28, 2015.

Notes. Table first created in 2022 based on my notes. I did not register departure and arrival times before mid December 2012, hence the evolution of the 24h record could not be accurately reconstructed. The current best 24 hrs in the Netherlands and the best calendar day distance are both 675.2km.|<table class="sortable wikitable" style="border: 1px solid; border-collapse: separate;">|[[Croatia|HR]]<tr valign="top"> <th align="left"><b>date</b></th> <th align="left"><b>distance</b></th> <th align="left"><b>from</b></th> <th align="left"><b>to</b></th> <th align="left"><b>via</b></th> <th align="left"><b>vehicles</b></th> <th align="left"><b>day record</b></th> <th align="left"><b>24 hrs record</b></th>|[[Šibenik]]</tr>|[[Germany|D]]<tr>|[[Sinsheim]] <td align="left">2002.04</td>| <td align="right"|07>5.10.20130</td> <td align="left">Epen</td> <td align="left">Wittem</td> <td align="left"></td>| <td align="right"|>1,208</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr> <td align="left">2003.702</td>| <td align="right"|24>206.0 hrs</td> <td align="left">Velp</td> <td align="left">Meerssen</td> <td align="left"></td> <td align="right">3</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr> <td align="left">2004.03.19</td>| <td align="right"|50>215.0</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Amsterdam</td> <td align="left"></td> <td align="right">1</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th>| <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr> <td align="left">2005.07.29</td> <td align="right"|>333.2</td> <td align="left">Bemelen</td> <td align="left">Groningen</td> <td align="left"></td>| <td align="right"|7>8</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr> <td align="left">2009.12.13</td>| <td align="right"|172>338.76</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Utrecht</td>| <td align="right"|2>8</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr>| <td align="left">2015.05.30-31</td>|[[Netherlands|NL]] <td align="right">475.3</td>|[[Muiden]] <td align="left">Maastricht</td>|[[Poland|PL]] <td align="left">Bad Nieuweschans</td>|[[Warszawa]] <td align="left">Rotterdam</td>| <td align="right"|27>7</td> <th align="left"><b>no</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr><tr> <td align="left">2021.08.1215</td> <td align="right">420.20132</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Gronsveld</td> <td align="left">Amsterdam</td>| <td align="right"|1,175>9</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th> <th align="left"><b>no</b></th></tr> <td align="left">2022.07.829-30</td>| <td align="right"|18>662.4 hrs</td> <td align="left">Camerig</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Odoorn</td>| <td align="right"|63>3.9</td> <th align="left"><b>no</b></th> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th></tr>| <td align="left">2022.08.05</td> <td align="right"|112>675.32</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Maastricht</td> <td align="left">Joure</td>| <td align="right"|7>21</td> <th align="left"><b>yes</b></th>| <th align="rightleft"|167><b>yes</b></th></tr></table> == Trips over 750 kms within 24 hrs == As of June 29, 2023.9 {|alignborder="right1"|-||'''from'''||'''to'''|'''date'''|'''distance'''|'''duration'''|'''trip speed'''|'''ride speed'''|'''vehicles'''|'''avg distance'''|'''days'''|2'''countries'''|-|[[NetherlandsGermany|NLD]]|[[BocholtzLangen-bergheim]]|[[PolandMontenegro|PLMNE]]|[[StarowiskitkiDobrakovo]]|align="right"|1418.0804.20152023|align="right"|1,142770.6|align="right"|1324.3 0 hrs|align="right"|8573.58|align="right"|107103.14|align="right"|32.9|align="right"|380591.72|align="right"|12|align="left"|D A H SRB MNE
