Hi, friends of the sun,
'''I am Ny, a Berliner in her young twenties.'''More of a calm, curious and spontaneous (!!!) adventure seeker. Also a caring and loving daughter, sister and best friend.
I just started hitchhiking recently, with a friend of mine, but also alone.
Also a passionate Couchsurfer!
Trying to share my experiences with you!

I started around noon in ''Bucureşti'': [[http://hitchwiki.org/en/Bucure%C5%9Fti]]
- * I started a few meters before the gas station mentioned on the Bucureşti page. (see link above) - * After 15min a driver stopped and took me to ''Ruse, BG''. -- ** He recommended to start in the city, not on the edge of the way out, but I wouldn't know where to start though. - * From there I caught a truck to the ''border of BG/TR, near Edirne''. I jumped out because the truck had to queue up in a line of kms where other trucks were waiting as well. - * After walking a few km, I found a ride to ''İstanbul''.  - * You must know that it is not uncommon to be dropped out in the middle of the highway. I didn't know that and told the driver to drop me at a gas station. Otherwise I feared my life. :D - * Unfortunately I ended up there at around 11pm, after having crossed the border my mobile phone network died (I have a German sim card), although it actually should have worked due to Roaming, and that is how I got lost. I was not able to use Google Maps or to contact anyone. Seems like no one speaks English in Turkey. I found a nice guy who called a Turkish friend of mine to help me find my way to the bus station (otogar). I'm lucky I wanted to visit a Turkish friend. - * The guy took me to otogar. - * Unluckily there were no busses going to ''İzmir'' anymore.  - * Also, I couldn't use the metro anymore and the next hostel was many kms away.  - * I decided to find a BlaBlaCar. That car would go at 4am and so I joined the ride for around 50 lira.
'''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. - * I started to walk back to Selçuk, got a ride after 10min. - * To Kuşadası: I started walking out of the city, and found a ride after 5min. The Turkish couple was a little older and didn't know Google Translate, that's why I called another Turkish friend of mine to let him talk to them. They dropped me in the center of the city.  - * I'm thinking about letting a Turkish friend recording a voice message or writng a copy to explain, what I am doing and who I am. Communication is really hard, when you don't speak Turkish. :D
Next stop: ''Pamukkale, TR''
