on behalf of the 5 Luxembourgish people who are tired of seeing their little country's name being misspelled
'''guaka''' is one of the administrators of this wiki. He moved the wiki from <tt>hitchhikingguide.org</tt> to Wikia, since over there it was being spammed all the time. And then, on November 24 2006, to [[project:about|hitchwiki.org]], together with [[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]].
If there's a technical problem with Hitchwiki, contact me hitchwiki524 AT myusername DOT org.
Guaka is or has been also active on many Wikipedias (he founded the [httphttps://bm.wikipedia.org Bambara] and the [httphttps://ff.wikipedia.org Fulfulde Wikipedia]) and on Wikitravel. And he has worked on many online projects, but Hitchwiki.org is definitely his favorite, because of:
* the free license,
* the convivial atmosphere,
=== [[Driving for your driver|Driving for my drivers]] ===
* In 2005 or so, getting out of Paris, after being dropped at a really bad spot I started [[walking on the highway]] in the hot sun and after half an hour I was picked up by a guy moving from his stuff from [[Paris]] to somewhere south from [[Toulouse]]. He let me drive his car for 2 hours.
* In June 2008, hitching from Amsterdam to [[Avignon]], I managed to get to a busy gas station in [[LuxemburgLuxembourg]] at around 22:00 and found a ride straight to my destination. The car's dashboard was not working, I wasn't convinced of the driver's driving style and after an hour or so, and asking about my driving license, he offered me the steering wheel. I drove all the way to Avignon.
* In August 2008, hitching from [[Berlin]] to [[Trento]] an Italian at a gas station close to [[Munich]] was a bit tired. He had dinner there and I showed him my driving license and I drove all the way to Trento through the pouring [[rain]].
