[[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 been homeless and nomad since June 2009. Until October 2009May 2010, he was living on and off in '''Reykjavík, Iceland''', but is currently leading a purely nomadic life, somewhere in between Scandinavia, Iceland and Central Europe.
== Experience ==
He lived in Italy, Germany, Norway and Iceland, and recently spent quite a long 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 Germany. Recentlyrecently, he spent 3 weeks in Japan, where he went from Nagasaki to Tokyo hitching rides for 1300km and soaking in hot springs along the way. The longest ride is 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 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 yet not fully clear. He left Iceland in October 2009 and is still hitting his head against a wall asking himself why. After vagabonding in Iceland, Denmark and Sweden, a 3Germany and occasionally Norway for some short-weeks parenthesis in Japanterm jobs, he now temporarily recently relocated his base camp to VossAmsterdam, Norway where this time he will stay for a short-term job 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 a hostelPortugal. A comeback His big dream is to hitchhike to India and China, and come back to Iceland in Europe waving his thumb along the summer is not entirely unlikelyTransiberian railway.  Since it may become hard to keep this page updated, you'd better check this [[http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ek.hlewagastir%40gmail. You will most certainly meet him in Copenhagen again later in Augustcom&ctz=Atlantic/Reykjavik|calendar]].
He's looking for hitch-mates for next summer, and very probably heading [[File:HHIceland.JPG|200px|thumb|left|Hitchhiking from Reykjavík to the hitching festival, wherever it isferry in Seyðisfjörður in June 2009.]]
