Who am I
Belgian student in med school. Only hitched for a couple of times near my hometown Ghent, but i made my first real hitch hiking trip accros France last summer. My nickname was derived from my love of Sylvester Stallone as Rambo and Rocky, and the running joke me and my hitch buddy User:Nathan had on the stairs of La Defence, a famous bussiness centre in Paris with an excellent view.
So far i haven't hitched that much, but i'm dreaming of someday hitching across the USA, and offcourse there's still plenty of Europe for me to discover.
