I JUST LOVE TRAVELING
I think Traveling is the best thing ever. It changed MY life, and everybody should do it, at least once to find out what it's about.
I beleive in hospitality, since it's the cheapest and most fun way to travel.
I am a member of Hospitality Club and CouchSurfing, a group of people with at least one interest in common: Traveling around the World and meeting people.
I highly recomend anyone to enter the any of these websites and give it a try. My nickname is MaskY, so if u ever join, message me and we can get in contact and maybe see each other who knows where! In that website is where I spent most of my internet-time when I'm traveling.
I love Hitchhiking, it's a fun and cheap way to see a lot of different places. I did it this Easter for the first time (long distances anyway) from Rome to Hamburg, and it was one of the most incredible things I've ever done. Once I started I just could not stop!
I did it by myself, which I think is the easiest way to do it, but pairs also works pretty good. Even for girls, I know girls who do it by themselves. Don't be afraid to do it, a little adventure won't do any harm! My favourite thing about it is that wherever u go u always get in contact with the most generous people with positive attitude, and that gives me a lot of energy to keep going.
Just get your backpack and hit the road, once u do it u will understand what I'm talking about.
These are the countries I've been to:
Spain, Portugal, England, France, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzeland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

If I haven't visited your country, please invite me! U are welcome to come wherever I live and stay at my place.
I like some countries more than others:
Spain is a great and fun country. Drinking, smoking, going out, and living in general is cheap. Nights are long and alive, people are very open, traveling around is easy, there are beaches and mountains, the food is great. There's a bit of everything in Spain. The North is colder and has more nature, better food, and people might seem a bit closed in the beginning but once u get to know them they really make u feel at home (Catalunya is an exception). In the South it's very easy to meet people and it's damn hot! My favourite town is Barcelona. I always call it the 'youth capital of europe' :)
About England, well it's not a mistery I don't like it, even tho I lived there for more than a year. I don't enjoy many things about their culture, and I don't enjoy the people very much either (as a group, not as individuals). And London just doesn't do it for me.
Sweden. What can I say about this country. There's 2 different swedens. The one where people are posh and extremely fashion, which sucks and just makes everybody hollow and impossible to find a good conversation. And the one where u find the travelers and the chilled-out people, now that I like :D. If u come to Are u are only gonna find the first group, but if u go to Malmo u will find a lot of the second group. By the way, I really like Malmo, it's nice, small, there's plenty of students and young people and it's right next to Copenhagen. In Stockholm, like most capitals, u can find every kind of people. It's a beautiful city but painfully expensive. I also like the accent from the south of the country, even tho most of Sweden takes the piss out of it. Overall Sweden is probably the best place to be on the winter, and has the most beautiful landscape during the summer.
Italy is a wonderful place. The food, the towns, the history, the traditions, the girls (especially on the south )... and the fact that every single town is a different story. Rome, Florence, Napels, Venice, Bologna, Milan... they are all completely different from each other, but all great in a way or another. I have to say that spending 16 days traveling around this country was quite an experience. The italian people as a group (especially guys) is not my favourite thing . I do have great friends there and they helped me a lot when I was there tho, so I really can't complain about that.
It's not the cheap country it used to be, now it's quite expensive, but travelling and eating are still very cheap.
