Since Hitchhiking [[:kasper:hitchhiking-great-business|has been great]] for developing my professional skills. In 2008 I work started working as an [[:guaka:consultancy|independent free software consultant], mostly with Drupal, also some CiviCRM and MediaWiki (e.g. for [http://wikimini.org/ Wikimini]), mainly with NGOs but also for businesses (such as my family's [http://sourenmeubels.nl/ teak furniture business]).

'''guaka''', or Kasper Souren, 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]].
He was born in [[Nuth]], [[Netherlands]], but lived in [[Paris]], [[Mali]], hitchhiked through [[Europe]] and [[South America]] for a long time, and worked a bit in [[Lima]], [[Peru]]; [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]], the [[United States]], [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]], from [[Thailand]] to [[Hong Kong]] and in [[Europe]]. Lived in [[Trento]], [[Italy]] since July 2007, and as of January 2008 in [[Amsterdam]]. In October 2008 he hitched from [[Amsterdam]] to [[Jerusalem]] through [[Turkey]], [[Syria]] and [[Jordan]].
