About me

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 there till finish high school. As in Italy hitchhiking culture is not anymore that strong (people don't hitch cause they think it doesn't work, it's dangerous and so on), I started hitch very late. Took bachelor degree in Middle Eastern languages in Venice, my dream was traveling the world by land 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 france, worked amazingly and never stopped..As Paluch said me in Morocco: it gives addiction! and it's definitely true!
