I can host you in Helsinki, Finland

Shelter for shelter: In Switzerland, Andi was offered to stay at his driver's home for few days on the condition that he build her a chicken coop.

Andi is a thumber but occasionally uses signs where he feels it makes a lot of sense or to avoid conflicts when hitch-hiking together with a signer. Finding messages left behind by other hitch-hikers and read about their desperation, hope or joy gives him a nice feeling of being connected; and he therefore often leaves a little message himself.

Hitchhikes in

Europe mostly. Extensive experience also in New Zealand and some on Réunion Island.
