I love the freedom that goes There's a certain liberty associated with this lifestyle, ... I love meeting new people, practicing languages, and generally keeping hitch hiking alive... as the more we do it, the more widely it is (re)accepted. For me it's also about occupying an otherwise empty seat rather than using my own vehicle, causing no extra negative effects on the environment.

== About Me ==
I'm 29, originally from the South [[Wales]] Valleys, but nowadays I live in the [[Netherlands]] in between backpacking around Europe, usually heading south in late autumn to escape the winter and not returning until spring.
== Countries Hitched ==
[[England]], [[Wales]], [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], [[Luxembourg]], [[France]], [[Spain]].
=== Easy Hitching ===
=== Nightmare Hitching ===
In Spain, I've been stuck in places for hours.... or days sometimes. The worst experience to date was being stuck in the desert between [[Lorca]] and [[Almeria]], with no food or water, bearing the heat in the day, and the cold at night, camping amongst the scorpions. I arrived in Almeria after 72 hours, tired, hungry and dehydrated... '''MISERY!!'''
== Why I Hitch ==
This lifestyle of hitching and recycling and squatting also means I minimise the amount of money I spend into large corporations, as I get food and transport and shelter either for free, or where I do pay, it's going to local people and businesses.
== My Philosophy ==
Trust the universe and trust where you find yourself in it in the moment...
'''''"Live like a Womble, eat like a King."'''''
