Diego, alias Gutuater comes from a tiny village in Northern Italy, which he left in 2006 at the age of 20, and has not stopped travelling since. He is been homeless and nomad since June 2009. Until May 2010, he was living on and off in Reykjavík, Iceland, but is currently leading a purely nomadic life, somewhere between Scandinavia, Iceland and Central Europe.

Experience

He lived in Italy, Germany, Norway and Iceland, and recently spent quite some time in Denmark too. He started hitchhiking only recently, in summer 2009 around Iceland, and in his yet short hitching career has thumbed through Iceland, Faroe Islands, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. His best-thumbed countries are Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and recently, Japan. The longest ride was overnight on a truck to Tokyo (500km).

Languages

He's fluent in Italian (native), English, German, and Norwegian. Less fluent in Spanish, Icelandic, Danish and Swedish. Can survive a basic conversation in French, Portuguese, Faroese and Dutch.

His big dream is to hitchhike to India and China, and come back to Europe waving his thumb along the Transiberian railway.
