I started around noon in ''Bucureşti'': [[http://hitchwiki.org/en/Bucure%C5%9Fti]]
* My trip started start: ''İzmir, TR'', around 11am. destination: ''Kuşadası, TR'' via: ''Selçuk, Ephesus and Şirince''
* I started hitchhiking from start: ''Güzelçamlı, TR'' in the afternoon, at around 5pm. That is indeed not the best time to start hitchhiking but I had no other option. destination: ''Denizli, TR'' via: ''Aydın''

I just started hitchhiking recently, with a friend of mine, but also on my own.

== April/ May 2018: First trip alone through Eastern Europe (incl. RO, BG, TR) ==
'''April 29, 2018'''
start: ''Bucureşti, RO'', around noon: [[http://hitchwiki.org/en/Bucure%C5%9Fti]]
destination: ''İzmir, TR''
* I started a few meters before the gas station mentioned on the Bucureşti page. (see link above)
'''May 03, 2018'''
* From ''İzmir'' I took the Izban to ''Selçuk'', walked from there to ''Ephesus'', hitchhiked back to Selçuk and then hitchhiked to ''Şirince''. From there I hitchhiked back to ''Selçuk'' again to get my backpack and hitchhiked to ''Kuşadası''.
* Finding a ride to ''Şirince'' can take some time, be patient. I waited around 20min. It was at around 6/7pm.
'''May 05, 2018'''
* ''Güzelçamlı'' is a small city, that's why I walked out of the city while holding my thumb up. After around 10min a driver stopped, but unfortunately couldn't take me.
* 1min later, a really sweet and warmhearted grandpa stopped - I was so super lucky. Actually he headed towards ''Kuşadası'', but he drove me half an hour further out of ''Güzelçamlı'' to bring me to a better starting point. There he decided that this would be no option for me, because he worried about me and it would be getting dark soon, so he decided to buy me some water and to bring me to a bus station to buy a ticket to ''Aydın'' for me, so I would hopefully arrive quicker in ''Denizli''. I was so overwhelmed by his kindness!
