Revision as of 21:48, 17 November 2019

I'm a student and hitchhiker from Guildford near London in the UK, and currently live in Sheffield. I'm 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.
