Here you can watch the course of my hitchhiking trip to Spain. Starting the 1st October I plan to arrive in Barcelona around New Years Eve. From there I want to work and travel around the country in order to learn the Spanish language and get to know the people and their culture. I would be happy to see you as my reader or to find a mail of yours in my inbox. Everybody is welcome!
