Early November 2006 Robino finally registered for this wiki. As a start he made some new entries for cities such as Valencia, Barcelona and Granada. Currently he plans to update new entries from his last travel from Amsterdam to Istanbul.

My experience with hitchhiking

I have hitchhiking experience in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Spain and Turkey.

My philosophy on hitchhiking

Hitchhiking for me is above everything a sport. It is not about cheap traveling but about sharing and meeting random people of whom some never turn out to be so random at all.

I believe also in ´hitchhiking karma´. Most of the time you end up getting those rides which are ment for you.

I strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers and talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop.

I highly recommend to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences in the language of the country where traveling.


Personal

Currently I have no fixed address. The last place I lived was for three years in Spain, Barcelona. At the moment I am staying in Istanbul where I doing some freelance writing work and photographing.

I have a CouchSurfing profile. There is also `my website, where you can find a lot more about my travels and experiences.
