== Professional activity ==
=== Stats ===
The shortest wait, well, that happened a lot, when your holding a sign when you get out of a car at a gas station on the highway and friendly people notice that.
My longest wait was in [[Argentina]] where I gave up after 18 hours.
* In 2006 I successfully hitched a ride with 5 other people, in [[Argentina]], around [[San Marcos Sierra]].
* In August 2008, hitching from [[Berlin]] to [[Trento]] an Italian at a gas station close to [[Munich]] was a bit tired. He had dinner there and I showed him my driving license and I drove all the way to Trento through the pouring [[rain]].
