About time I start contributing a bit more to this site.

Until 31/12/10 I can host you in Utrecht if you pass by.

Gerben is a Dutch student, formerly in Delft doing civil engineering, but has now almost finished his degree in liberal arts and sciences in Utrecht (mainly social geography and international relations), where he has lived for the past three years. He first started hitchhiking on Queensday 2006, and got picked up by a Brazilian air acrobat who told him she always picked up hitchhikers when she saw them. Going only from Delft to Amsterdam that day, he decided that it must be possible to go further as well. So far, he has hitchhiked criss-cross through Europe in all directions, and has made several bigger trips: in 2008 he hitchhiked from NL to Russia and back, while in 2009 he hitchhiked from NL to China, passing Turkey, the Caucasus and Central Asia en route. In the summer of 2010 he hitchhiked from Egypt to Kenya, passing Sudan and Ethiopia on the way. Currently, he is planning his first Atlantic crossing by boat after his graduation in December.


I'll add some more info later. My hc and cs username is the same: gerbennap
