==My experience with hitchhiking==I have hitchhiking experience in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Netherlands]], Image:Robino_hitching.jpg|200px|thumb|right|To a [[Germany|German]], [[Francerainbow gathering in 2009]], [[Czech Republic]], Image:Granada.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Me hitching from [[SwitzerlandValencia]], to [[AustriaGranada]], [[Sloveniain 2006]], [[Croatia]], [[Serbia]], [[Bulgaria]], Image:Robino_Sitarane.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[SpainRobino]] and & [[TurkeySitarane]]. The first time I hitchhiked was in '98 with a girl their drivers while hitching from [[NijmegenAmsterdam]] to [[AmsterdamParis]]. After four rides we got stuck somewhere in for the [[Utrecht888]]-event, August 2008]]. A year later I hitchhiked around the UK twice and I never got stuck again.

==My philosophy on hitchhikingExperience==Robino has hitchhiking experience in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Ireland]], [[Wales]], [[England]], [[Belgium]], [[Netherlands]], [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]], [[Slovenia]], [[Italy]], [Image:Granada[Croatia]], [[Serbia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Spain]], [[Romania]], [[Poland]], [[Ukraine]], [[Turkey]] and [[Portugal]].jpg|right|thumb|234px|Me The first time hitching was in '98 with a girl from Valencia [[Nijmegen]] to Granada[[Amsterdam]] Hitchhiking for me is above everything . After four rides they got stuck somewhere in [[Utrecht]] and he took a sporttrain. It is not about cheap traveling but about sharing A year later he hitched around the UK twice and meeting random people - apart from that day he took a wrong car out of whom some [[London]] - he happily never turn out to be so random at allgave up again.

I believe Since February 2009, Robino also started to hitchhike from his home to his office, once or twice a week, and writes about that in 'hitchhiking karma'Dutch at [http://liftenwerkt.nl Liften werkt]. Most of Due to his unfitness to work in an commercial office he had to quit this job just 6 weeks later. But ironically, on his final hitch to the time you end up getting those rides which are meant for you at that timeoffice, he was offered another job by his driver.

I strongly believe ==Philosophy==Hitchhiking for me is above everything a sport (as in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers mental exercise and talk to them to ask them for a rideendurance). Whether you are waiting at a service stationIt is not about cheap travel but about persistence, creativity, sharing, strategy, restinterpersonal skills and meeting random people -area or simply of whom some never turn out to be so 'random' at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stopall.

I highly recommend believe also in 'hitchhiking inevitabilities', especially if you surrender to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences the road. If you hitch like this, many times you are ending up getting specifically those rides which - in one way or another - have a significant correlation with your life, experiences or mindset. You can also make rides happen but you should be wise enough to listen very carefully to what the language road is trying to tell you. Things that are out of the country where travelingordinary do happen.

Currently I live in Amsterdam. I also lived in [[Barcelona]], [[Istanbul]], [[Het_Gooi|Huizen]] and [[Newcastle]].If you're coming to Amsterdam, [https://www.bewelcome.org/bw/member.php?cid=robino Be Welcome].
