: Probably in August, maybe also end of July. Not completely sure yet. Are you going alone or with someone? I'll go with my girlfriend. I guess 3 persons would a little difficult, but 4 (2+2) could be great. What do you think? Let's discuss on Berlin Beach Camp, in case we meet in a sober moment. :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:02, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi!
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.
Hari Om!
