Changes

I am a Moravian hitchhiker. When I was a child, I read many travelogues, also hitchhiking ones, and started hitchhiking at the age of 18. As of January 2020, I've done some 35 42 000 km, most of which either in Central Europe or on my journey journeys to Russia and Scandinavia, Ireland and Iran.

<p>Longest riderides: 600 km (9 hours) with a truck from Chabahar to Bam (Iran), 580 km (10 hours) with a truck from Sviyazhsk to Vladimir (Russia)<p>Rare rides: From a police escort with a detained person in central Russia. Crazy ride from a crazy Arab on his pickup in Khuzestan. Getting a ride 3 times from the same French pensioners in northern Sweden. Getting a ride 2 times from the same retired Guardists in Chabahar and in Kerman - 1000 km and 3 days from each other! When hitchhiking to visit my friend in Salzburg 400 km away, a pair stopped for me going to the same destination. It turned out they are his relatives also going to visit him.<p>Favourite destinations: Istrian interior, Polish route 28 through the Carpathians, Bosnia, West Coast of Ireland, Arctic region of Kola Peninsula, Iranian southern coast.<p>Future plans: Iran, Caucasus, Montenegro, Baltics, Newfoundland and Eastern Canada, Central Asia.
