Early November I Robin finally registered for this wiki, I . As a start he made some new entries for cities such as [[Valencia]], [[Barcelona]] and [[Granada]]. I hope they are useful.
==My experience with hitchhiking==
I have hitchhiking experience in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Netherlands]], [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Czech Republic]] and [[Spain]]. I am planning to do a hitchhiking trip from [[Amsterdam]] to [[Istanbul]] winter , starting february 2007.
Currently I live in [[Spain]], [[Barcelona]]. I also have a CouchSurfing [http://couchsurfing.com/robino profile].
==My philosophy on hitchhiking==
Hitchhiking is a sport. For me it is not about cheap travelling, but about sharing, and meeting random people of whome some never turn out to be so random at all.
[[Image:Granada.jpg|right|thumb|234px|Me hitching from Valencia to Granada]] I believe also in ´hitchhiking karma´. I generally sense which cars stop for me, and which persons to talk to when waiting for a ride. But more important, you always end up getting those rides which are mend meant for you. [[Image:Granada.jpg|right|thumb|234px|Me hitching from Valencia to Granada]] My longest waiting time never exceeded over an hour.
My longest waiting time never exceeded over an hour (two knocks down the wooden table). I strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude, ; walking up to people drivers and talking talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, restarea or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop.
I highly recommend to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences in the language of the country where travelling.
