[[File:HHBergen.JPG|300px|thumb|left|Hitching under the rain from Bergen to Førde, Norway]] '''Diego''', alias ''Gutuater'' comes from a tiny village in Northern Italy, which he left in 2006 at the age of 20, and has not stopped travelling since. He is currently been homeless and nomad since June 2009. Until May 2010, he was living on and off in '''Reykjavík, Iceland''', but is currently leading a purely nomadic life, somewhere between Scandinavia, Iceland and Central Europe.
== Experience ==
He lived in Italy, Germany, Norway and Iceland, and recently spent quite some time in Denmark too. He started hitchhiking only recently, in summer 2009 around Iceland, and in his yet short hitching career has thumbed through Iceland, Faroe Islands, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. His best-thumbed countries are Iceland , Norway, Denmark, Germany, and Germanyrecently, Japan. The longest ride was overnight on a truck to Tokyo (500km).
== Languages ==
He's fluent in '''Italian''' (native), '''English''', '''German''', and '''Norwegian''' (albeit a bit rusty). Less fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French, '''Icelandic''', Danish and Swedish. Can survive a basic conversation in French, Portuguese, Faroese and Dutch. He's currently working on expanding his Slavic vocabulary and finally desperately waiting for the right moment to learn a Slavic language. The best conversation was while hitching with a Faroese shepherd, speaking a mixture of Faroese, Icelandic, Danish and English.  [[File:Japan.JPG|230px|thumb|right|Hitching in Japan]]
== Plans ==
His plans are to leave After vagabonding in Iceland in October 2009 , Denmark and Sweden, Germany and re-locate in Denmark (or occasionally Norway) and maybe get a (sigh) proper job whilst waiting for the spring wind to bring him some short-term jobs, he recently relocated his base camp to Eastern EuropeAmsterdam, where this time he will be living stay for a long time. In Summer 2010, you may see him hitchhiking around Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Czech, and across France all the way down to the Hitchgathering in an Ecovillage Portugal. His big dream is to hitchhike to India and China, and come back to Europe waving his thumb along the Transiberian railway.  Since it may become hard to keep this page updated, you'd better check this [[http://www.zajezkagoogle.com/calendar/embed?src=ek.hlewagastir%40gmail.skcom&ctz=Atlantic/Reykjavik|calendar]] in the mountains until the summer.
