[https://www.trustroots.org/profile/kaputnik Andi] is a thumber but occasionally uses [[Signs|signs]] where he feels it makes a lot of sense or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_avoidance to avoid conflicts] when hitch-hiking together with a signer. Finding messages left behind by other hitch-hikers and read about their desperation, hope or joy gives him a nice feeling of being connected; and he therefore often leaves a little message himself.
== Hitchhikes in ==
Europe mostly. Extensive experience also in [[New Zealand]] and some on [[Réunion|Réunion Island]].
== Statistics ==
* '''Closest family relationship to a driver:''' uncle (met on the road; the lift was not pre-arranged).
* '''Highest number of times picked up by the same person:''' 3 ([[Brittany]], August-September 2016).
* '''Best timing:''' Hitch-hiked from Brittany to [[Toulon]] (1300km, 2days) and arrived less than 10min after a pair of friends who hitch-hiked from [[Luxembourg]] (900km, 1 day), then caught the last ferry to Corsica together which departed 15 min after that.
* '''Favourite location:''' France, Atlantic coast
* '''Preferred day-time:''' afternoon
