I'm a student and hitchhiker from Guildford near London in the UK, and currently live in Sheffield. I'm was part of the committee that runs Bummit - a society at the university of sheffield that runs the word's biggest student charity hitchhike with hundreds of participants annually. I'm really passionate about hitchiking and ~~now use~~ have used it as my main form of long distance traffic within the UK.

Here I will keep a list of all the hitches I have ever made~~, mainly for my benefit but it may be of interest to you~~
