== Professional activity ==Hitchhiking [[File:Guaka kasper:hitchhiking-great-business|has been great]] for developing my bithday2professional skills.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Hitching to In 2008 I started working as an [[Nelson: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 [[New Zealand]http://sourenmeubels.nl/ teak furniture business] ).

== Random stuff ==
=== 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 [File:Hitchhikers with Chinese police man.jpg|thumb|300px|right|amylin and me with a friendly Chinese policeman[San Marcos Sierra]].
=== [[Driving for your driver|Driving for my drivers]] ===
* 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]].
