My experience with hitchhiking
I have hitchhiking experience in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Spain and Turkey. The first time I hitchhiked was in '98 with a girl from Nijmegen to Amsterdam. After four rides we got stuck somewhere in Utrecht. A year later I hitchhiked around the UK twice and I never got stuck again.
My philosophy on hitchhiking
Hitchhiking for me is above everything a sport. It is not about cheap traveling but about sharing and meeting random people of whom some never turn out to be so random at all.
I believe also in 'hitchhiking karma'. Most of the time you end up getting those rides which are meant for you at that time.
I strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers and talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop.
I highly recommend to at least speak some hitchhiking sentences in the language of the country where traveling.
Personal
Currently I live in Amsterdam. I also lived in Barcelona, Istanbul, Huizen and Newcastle.
If you're coming to Amsterdam, profile. My house is regularly visited by other hitchhikers.
