Changes

My name is Federico. Fede, Cicco or Cicca for friends (as my surname is somehow related with these words). I was born in Milan in 1989 and live lived there till finish finished high school. As in Italy hitchhiking culture is not anymore that strong as before (people don't hitch cause they think it doesn't work, it's dangerous and so on, and drivers don't really pick up for the same reasons), I started hitch very late. Took bachelor degree in Middle Eastern languages in [[Venice]], my dream was traveling , living the world by land overland as cheap as possible. On November 2011, I started the travel, with almost 20-30 km (random when buses were not available) on my counter I tried first serious hitchin in sothern southern france, worked amazingly and never stopped..As [[User:Paluch|Paluch]] said to me in Morocco: it gives addiction! and it's definitely true! Now it has passed more than 2 years and still i don't feel like stopping somewhere..there are people traveling the whole life, and in the end, isnt the whole life a travel? even staying in the same physical place..Good route, good luck good life to all!

I'm continuing After 2 years of nomadic life, changing routes, styles, lives, "what do i do", starting busking, even flying on planes! wasting money, living moneyless, dumpster diving, going to 5 star restaurants (on the top of a skyscraper in Tehran..) i decided to try low down my trip around ego and write less, most of tips and advice on the worldnew amazing Nomadwiki, created a which i really love and share concepts as visions, being what i had in my mind creating my blog about and ll keep it for personal stories, and stuff. http://notalonelyplanet.altervista.org if you want to know "where you can have a more complete idea about me and the travel more than see last updated pictures and map.i am", "what i am doing"

Sneaking into a tourist attraction has nothing to do with hitchhiking, and there's already enough controversy about giving advice for blackriding, so recommending more illegal things just brings disrepute to our project.
