Early November I finally registered for this wiki, I made some new entries for cities such as Valencia and Granada. I hope they are usefull.
My experience with hitchhiking
I have hitchhiking experience in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Spain. I am planning to do a hitchhiking trip from Amsterdam to Istanbul winter 2007.
Currently I live in Spain, Barcelona. I also have a CouchSurfing profile.
My philosophy on hitchhiking
Hitchhiking is a sport. For me it is not about cheap travelling, but about meeting random people of whome some never turn out to be so random at all.
I believe also in hitchhiking karma. I generally sense which cars stop for me, and which persons to talk to when waiting for a ride.
My longest waiting time never exceeded over an hour.
I strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude, walking up to people and talking to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, restarea 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 travelling.
