Hi, friends of the sun,
I am Ny. 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!
First trip alone through Eastern Europe (incl. RO, BG, TR)
April 29, 2018
start: Bucureşti, RO
destination: İzmir, TR
I started around noon in Bucureşti: [[1]]
- 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
