'''Guakaguaka''' is administrator one of the administrators of this wiki. He moved the wiki from <tt>hitchhikingguide.org </tt> to hereWikia, 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 hitchwiki524 AT myusername DOT org.  Guaka is or has been also active on several many Wikipedias (he founded the [https://bm.wikipedia.org Bambara] and the [https://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, * the ideal mix between ad-hoc and democratic decisions, * the steady stream of activity and constant growth (yearly doubling!),* the different languages (since 2007)* the clear objective and* the inherent qualities of the projectSee also ''[[Hitchwiki:Why_we_work_on_Hitchwiki#Guaka|why we work on Hitchwiki]]''. His main home in cyberspace can be found at [[:guaka:|guaka.org]]. He works on many different websites, from [https://sourenfurniture.com/ selling furniture] to [[:moneyless:|living with much less or no money at all]] and of course [[:trash:|many]] [[:nomad:|other]] [[:couch:|wikis]].

I tought I was stingy dude, but obviously there's always someone in the world who can cleary exceed your capabilities".  === Stats ===  The shortest wait, well, that happened a lot, when your holding a sign when you get out of a car at a gas station on the highway and friendly people notice that. My longest wait was in [[Argentina]] where I gave up after 18 hours. * In 2006 I successfully hitched a ride with 5 other people, in [[Argentina]], around [[San Marcos Sierra]]. === [[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 [[Luxembourg]] 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]].  {{user cc-by-sa}}[[fr:Utilisateur:Guaka]][[trash:User:Guaka]] [[Category:Hitchhikers]][[Category:Tech team]] [[de:Benutzer:Guaka]][[es:Usuario:Guaka]][[fi:User:Guaka]][[nl:Gebruiker:Guaka]][[ru:Участник:Guaka]][[zh:User:Guaka]][[bw:people/guaka]]
